I love getting packages in the post, especially when I'm eagerly anticipating the contents. So I was thrilled to bits this morning when a beautifully wrapped parcel from Raspberry arrived. Alice Bloor is a textile artist and felt-maker. She creates beautiful pieces and I fell in love with her pincushions. I also had to buy this brooch to pin on my favourite green corduroy jacket although I suspect that it will not remain mine for long - no doubt once Amy spies it, it will mysteriously be spirited away! Oh well, I'll enjoy it while I can. Thanks Alice (sorry the pics don't really do them justice - check out Raspberry's site for much better pictures).
