They do come every year, and the number is always higher!
It was my turn last month.
It was a wonderful sunny day, BBQ time!
I got some new books for my bookshelf, and CD's to listen to when crafting,
but the star present was this special publication of Jane Eyre. I was given my first copy of Jane Eyre
(in translation) by my parents when I was a teenager (yes, a long time ago!)
I am grateful to Kim for writing about this one on her blog.
It is beautifully illustrated by Marjolein Bastin , even the textured cover is very tactile.
There are several books in Marjolein Bastin series, it must be wonderful to have them all on a bookshelf.
There are small surprises hidden through out the book.
And I was given vouchers to spend in Midsomer Quilting shop,
what else does a girl need?
Besides that, my crafting is on "slow" right now,
just some more small blocks for Blooming Springtime,
and Tobermory squares, which makes 28 so far.
Summer has arrived at last, although we have been having very cold nights,
not much fun for young plants in the garden.
Extra long weekend here in UK to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee ,
the weather could be better - very windy in my part of the world right now,
but sunny, so that's something to be grateful for.
Happy Birthday! That Jane Eyre book does look delicious - I remember Kim writing about it. Not exactly BBQ weather at the moment although that little burst of sunshine yesterday afternoon was very welcome. Pretty applique and I do love those crochet squares. xx
