It's always fun to see what gifts were unwrapped (last!) year.

Birthday Haul 2017

Oops, only a month late to show off my awesome gifts!!!

First up from my lovely cousin, rainbow fairy lights, a pretzel purse and shoe wings - which I have another photo to show in a second!

My cousin and her family also got me this amazing mermaid tail throw - so so good, I've been using it at night whilst watching tellie :)

The wings in action and an awesome cat space themed shirt from my middle bro which he got in Japan - making it even more special!

My oldest bro gave me this awesome book on dreams. The book is essentially a dictionary where you look up key words from your dreams - I have it right beside my bed to make sure I get those first waking insights :)

Ben's mum gifted me with these super cute owl earrings and anyone recognise the card? I really enjoyed learning about Margaret Keane and her story in Big Eyes :)

And lucky last an awesome haul from Ben which includes rainbow gloves, a sailor moon choker, stickers, a pin and a Shaun Tan book!

Shaun Tan is an Australian artist Ben and I both adore and this book is all his clay work which is so inspiring to both of us!

And my pin and cute succulent stickers Ben found - etsy was definitely his friend :) he he!
Big love for all of it!

My Birthday Haul

Despite this being many months later, I still wanted to share my awesome birthday goodies I received back late April :)

First up from my lovely cousin, a cute bunny tote (which I've been using a lot!) and a super cute little suitcase that now houses my embroidery supplies :)

Ben's mum got me these super cute cat earrings on the left.  I'm not sure if you can see but the front of the cat sits in front of your ear and it connects behind with his swinging tail, so it looks as though they are jumping through your ears! And how about that super cute cactus from my little bro - eep!

Ben got me an amazing assortment of zines/badges/stickers and that super cute ying yang cat patch which I'm still working out the best place for it to live.

My Mum got me all of the above Amazing goodies. The red suitcase now houses my dymo label maker + tapes and we've been using the cat tray for Gremlin's food (just need one for Pnow!).

And close up of the super cute tin and brooch!

I think I won around 30 dollars on those scratchies from my bro Matty and my littlest bro, J always makes me incredible handmade card *love*

More goodies from my lovely cousin, Heather and her family, so much to love - how great is that Frida notebook! (have you seen the recent movie btw? definitely worthy of a watch!)

The cutest cards!

And two African violets from my dad :)

More presents - happy shock!

I had a mail slip to pick up the other week which got me excited. Normally I'm pretty clued on to what I'm expecting but this time I was blanking out to what I had bought. My curiosity turned to shocked surprise when I ended up opening this amazing parcel from my lovely peeps (Damaris, Dani and Juno) who blog over at The Cat you and Us. It was beyond thoughtful and I honestly sat on my bedroom floor wiping back the tears as I went through all the little packages, so beautifully presented :)

They'd recently blogged about their adventures at the We Love Cats Market so I was tickled pink to get my very own tote! The other goodies in the parcel were so thoughtful and nobody got left out. Perhaps the happiest receiver was Gremlin who went super crazy when I showed him his snake toy from Santa Juno (Juno being Damaris and Dani's adorable cat)

Gremlin was so in love he even sampled a small bite - oops :P

Look at how sweet everything was presented!!! *squeals with delight*

(Thanks for posing gremlin!)

In the parcel was also this mega pretty bracelet from Polarite, which has become my new lucky charm and hasn't left my wrist since receiving :)

Ben was also included and now we both have the cutest Mr. Wonderful matching keychain set for our collections. Can you guess which keychain Ben picked - toast or jam?

There are a million gushing things I could say but I'll keep my ranting and gushing down and just say a HUGE thanks to Damaris, Dani and Juno.  You guys made our day, week, year!!!
