Flowers From Frankie

Tea break in the afternoon... about 5pm after a busy day with classes and customers in Angie's (Very Own) Patchwork & Quilting Shop... A good strong cup-o-tea, a leaflet to read about the up coming quilt show at Uttoxeter, a box of delicious, tasty chocolates and a freshly delivered surprise package full of wonderful, aromatic flowers... All the way from Australia!!! 
Over the past few weeks I've received a lot of bubbley, wine, cakes and chocolate for celebrating, Many cards stuffed full of good wishes and luck, vases of flower and plants... all with messages wishing me good luck with everything... 
I am such a lucky lass... 
This beautiful display, including the vase and the chocolates, was delivered all the way from Australia... sent to me, my very own self by my Very Good Friend, Frankie... We were beginner quilters together way back in 1998 in Sao Paulo, Brazil and we've been bestest friends ever since... she's in Australia for a few years with her lovely hubby's job, that's how come the flowers have travelled so far.... didn't they survive well!!!! ha ha ha Thank You Frankie, I love em, they make My Very Own Quilt Shop smell divine...

Lovely to hear all your good news.
I have nominated you for a versatile blogger award - I know it means little up against your achievements (your very own quilt shop) but it was just to let you know how inspirational you are xx
