Unexpected Gifts

As much as I love giving gifts, it's always lovely to receive an unexpected present, especially when the person who gives it to you has got it so very right!
Look at these lovely tins I received as a thank you present from my friend Jackie.

Aren't they great? I just love them! They have pride of place in my kitchen.
Jackie and Mum had been on a trip to Van Hague garden centre and brought them back for me. Mum bought me these brilliant matching magnets too!

What lovely gifts, and so very 'me'!

Just wondering how long I can resist before I just have to make a trip there myself!

Maybe with Christmas just around the corner I can use the old Christmas shopping cover to go ogle over all the pretties (and maybe, just maybe, treat myself!)

Lots of Love

What pretty tins! They will look perfect in your kitchen.

Sarah wants to take B to Van Hagues for his Father Christmas photo you'll have to come with.

They are fabulous. I need new cake tins; the old Christmas 'Roses Chocolate' tins I'm using are past their best. x

As you know I love the tins and now I love the magnets just as much.
Never heard of Van Hagues i'm presuming it's a bit like our Cadbury garden centre (a bit of everything) so I will have to take a look there!
