Keep Calm and Carry On canvas bag and tin with plasters (too pretty to ever use!)
A gorgeous vintage plate that will be mounted to my wall (thank you husband)
The latest Frankie book and Catcher in the Rye- a classic I've always wanted to own!
Where the Wild Things Are.... another classic I've always wanted to own
Some more books from the Penguin Classic Book cover series. I have so much reading ahead of me now!
A parliament of owls drawn for me by my friend!
A bird cage drawn for me by another friend (surrounded by talent!) and a beautiful interior design coffee table book.
And this isn't even all my presents, I actually got spoilt with so much more but I haven't had a chance to photograph it all.
What wonderful presents! I especially love the books :) Happy belated birthday!
