House of Marmalade: The Postman always rings Twice

Today in my post I received 2 parcels. Luckily for the post lady, I am always out when my consignments arrive and she places them tidily on the step within my porch, like a present, for when I get home at lunchtime.

Parcel 1: my latest ebay bargain. This lot cost me just over £7.00 including postage, came all the way from Canada and includes vintage rick rack, ribbon and trims. I particularly love the pink petersham ribbon wrapped in a brown paper roll which unfortunately, I haven't managed to photograph very well..

Parcel 2 from Fabric Depot "got here in the end" Hurrah!!! Actually, despite the difficulties I had with their impossibly slow and laborious webiste, and their postage options (finally persuaded them to use an $11.00 flat rate mailer), they do offer 30% off all online orders and have a wonderfully wide selection. The bonus was, that when the goods actually arrived, i had been given a 50% discount which made the order even better value and they were very helpful over email. I wont bore you with any more mundane details, so here is what was in the package:

Moda Monkees for kids stuff and Cool Cord Cherries by Kaufman for me because i am obsessed by all things cherryish ...
