Let me introduce you.....

To Olivia the Octopus and her little purple octofriend (who my daughter is trying desperately to get her grubby, little paws on!!!)

This is the treasure I opened when my package arrived from Val.............. I was extremely spoilt!!!!

Together with the cute octopi, I got the most gorgeous, wooly pink flower brooch - it will look so pretty on a winter jacket. I also recieved a handpainted octopus box - this is my new treasure box - it's lovely. Some Mardi Gras beads (I was actually eyeing out my sisters collection while we were visiting her in the UK), some bath salts, the cutest whale hairclip, a new bookmark, and a lovely ceramic plackard that has found a home in our guest bathroom.

Thank you so much Val for spoiling me - you really brought a smile to my day:-)
