Hello everyone, thank you for visiting and a big welcome to my new followers!
It's not often I post about personal stuff, but yesterday I had such a fantastic day, that I just had to tell you about it. I was invited to mother and daughter crafters that many of you know,
Rita and
Annie who live not too far away from where I am.

| Rita and Annie at Annie's very well organised craft table |
We had a brilliant day of crafty chat, exchange of ideas, gorgeous food provided by both of these very kind ladies, and Rita taught both Annie and me how she makes her gorgeous flowers. We had so much fun, before I knew it, hours had sped by and it was time for the train journey home. Here is a picture of Rita and me, and no doubt if you visit
their blogs in the next few days there will be some more lol.

Posing for our picture, glasses off. You can just see some of Rita's beautiful flowers she had brought to show us.
Below are some of Annie's amazing "curiously crafty treasures"

And here finally some of the wonderful gifts they gave me:

I had the most fantastic day and am convinced once more that crafters are just the most generous and wonderful people on this planet! Thank you so much Annie and Rita for the most wonderful time!! Until we meet again!
