I love Gem's choice of fabrics, lots of CK ...and I love these CK inspired birdies....they are hung on the very bare wall near my sewinbg table......
Now, I have had to hide these from my mum, she loves them too - fabulous patchwork coasters with the neatest round and round sewing in the world!!!! - 
They are a perfect match for my spotty tablecloth too.....
A lovely lavender heart...again CK floral with a spotty back.(photos took after dark in unnatural light last night - apologies!!)
This beautiful hanger is hanging on the side of my wardrobe as I don't want to hide it inside!!! (Its not just me who does this is it???)
Bunting greetings cards for me to send to people I like!!!!
A painted canvas - currently in the playroom but waiting for me to sort out the shelf in the hallway I think.....
Gem also kindly gave me some pieces of CK fabrics and gorgeous ribbons, 
this one is my fave, its alighter weight too, very pretty and will be used in my hexy patchworking - more on that when I get back (had I mentioned I was going on a small vacation hehehe!!!)...

She included some really lovely floral ribbons, and a paisley one too. I love them and they obviously will never be used ;)
I am up to date with swaps before I go.....
kindly bought by some 'good' friends lol!!!On Thursday I will be married to a 40 year old man!! I have generously given up some suitcase space to carry his cards so we can have a fabulous birthday. The lighting and singing was done early so that his boys could join in......
Thank You again for all the NYC advice...see you when I get back :)

Have a great trip to NY.
I'm 40 next spring - not sure yet how I feel about it - mainly creaky at the moment!
Have a fantastic time! Will be eager to hear about NYC when you are back.

You were so lucky with your beautiful stash there. I love those coasters.
Have a fantastic time in NYC. Look forward to hearing all about it.

Gorgeous goodies from Gem, love them!
This might seem a strange question but do you have a mother/motherinlaw named Yvonne? The reason I ask is that I volunteer with a lady by that name at Cancer Research and she is off down south today as her son/daughter are off to NYC tomorrow for birthday celebrations. Probably just a weird coincidence but had to ask, hope you don't mind.
Have a good trip, the exchange rate is real good at the mo too! ;o) x
