My Colour Swap Parcel

Well I have at last found time to post about the beautiful parcel that arrived in my letterbox last week.  Of course I forgot to take a photo before I opened it but have photos of the gorgeous contents. My gifts were sent by Christine from MacDonald's Patch. They were beautifully wrapped in blue paper and here they are.
Here they all are together with the card telling me it was Christine who had sent them.

Something Edible.  Not sure I want to eat these, they are so cute, think they should be in a vase.

Something  Smelly.  4 Sachets filled with lavender. 

Something Personal.   2 beautifully covered hangers. 

Something for a Room in your House. A lovely thread holder that also holds your needles and a place to put the one in use. I've just noticed I only have 3 threads in the photo, should be 4, all beautiful blue.  
I know you said you didn't use a lot of blue Christine but you have done an excellent job of my gifts and I thank you so much for making them for me. They will all be put to good use in my home except maybe my blue flowers that may not last too long.
Thank you also to the wonderful Chez who co-ordinates the swaps. Chez has 2 Xmas Swaps coming up so go over and check out her blog, have a look at the swaps, and say Hi.
Must go as I have some hand stitching to finish on my Colour Swap gift using some purple thread. Then off to the Post Office tomorrow. If you are waiting for purple, it could be you!!    Hugs..........
