Kiwi quilt

Bounty from our friend Madge

In the mailbox today, Constance found a lovely lumpy squishy parcel, and found inside a beautiful New Zealand-inspired Quilt, and a wee puzzle the size of a matchbox… Opal and Agathe are the ones that would most appreciate these gifts, being carved from swamp Kauri wood, so Constance invited them to share in the bounty!

Kiwi Puzzle

Opal loves the cute little mini wooden puzzle featuring a family of kiwi birds…

Lupin Letter

…and Constance enjoyed reading a letter from the Rose Cottage Hittys and their human, especially Hitty Madge – the note says that the little quilt was especially designed for the Quimper Hittys and incorporates some lovely New Zealand Maori-type designs…

Southern Dreams

… Opal and Agathe are very touched and will have lovely soothing, happy memory-filled dreams under this special Quilt…Thank you Rose Cottage Girls and human for a gift which brightened our day and will certainly enhance the nights in the Hitty cupboard!!!

  Yes, aren’t they great? The Hittys are very fond of that little puzzle – just their size!

Oh, the colors in the entire post! Not just cheerful…delectable! (I do like the hydrangea and fan arrangement…) What a pleasant surprise for your girls.

  The fan and hydrangeas were left over from a wedding at the weekend – pretty nice memories of that occasion too!
