As one door closes...

I recently handed in my notice at work.  I enjoyed my job, but family issues meant that I didn't feel like I could juggle it all anymore.

My colleagues gave me such a lovely little leaving do and I received some wonderful gifts.  Amongst them were a lovely vibrant scarf and a pair of beautiful earrings...they are stunning and from a recently found very dear friend - they will be treasured. 

This gift was the most surprising - one chatty lunch time a few of us were discussing dreams and I said I'd love to have my own haberdashery.  One lovely colleague put together this gift, with a handmade card, that read "Hope you like your gift, it was as close to a haberdashery as i could get!  Hope you have lots of time to enjoy and be creative."

A jar of ribbons

A bundle of papers

A tub of beads

A tub of bits 'n' bobs 

Little bags of spare buttons.

I know I have left a great job and some great friends behind but as one door closes...a blog is born!
