A while back Alice Griffith, author of the blog
Fanciful Alice started a blog swap. I thought this would be great fun and decided to participate. Alice participated in a
previous swap and loved getting a package of little gifts from another part of the world, so she started one of her own. Twelve people agreed to participate. I sent my gifts to Angela Lockley of Calne, England. As it has not arrived yet I will wait to tell you what I sent. My gift arrived from
Debs Carrs in Jersey, Channel Islands. I was very excited when I learned that Debs was from Jersey as several of my ancestors were from the Channel Islands.
Here is what I received:
Sea shells from the Jersey coastline. A decorative tea towel and window sticker from the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust which is a great gift for someone who loves to Go Outside. Also the Durrells were my ancestors so... The sachet filled with Jersey lavender has found a happy home in my Smart car and the sweet treats are tucked away in the pantry awaiting the end of my participation in the
10 in 10 challenge. - tomorrow, yeah! Thanks Debs for all the little gifts.

Anne, I didn't realize you were part of the swap! How lovely. It is fun to get surprise packages full of goodies:)I have always wanted to visit the Channel Islands.
ReplyDeleteThe Channel Islands are on my bucket list. I have not heard that Angela received my gift - I sent it snail mail as air mail was very expensive. When did yours arrive in Portugal? I love the print you sent.
ReplyDeleteI've only just seen this Anne! but so glad you received a parcel of Jersey goodness :-) and how strange that your ancestors are from the Channel Islands! perfectly matched!
