Here she is with me on her birthday .....
and here are the goodies I put in the bag for her ....... 
These are English favourites of Mum's. Theres a Pork Pie (eaten cold of course), Fruit and Malt loaf (or "sticky bread" as we used to call it when I was a kid!!), Coconut Mushrooms, Clarnico Mints and Murray mints.I also found a packet of Parma Violets (lollies/sweets) for my brother - he was chuffed to bits :o)!!
.
Here's the fabrics I'm playing with at the moment. Wildflower Serenade 2. So rich and very country ... I'm enjoying the change. 
I haven't had an awful lot of time to sew lately but I've managed to do about 8 blocks so far and I'm loving how they're turning out :o).
Back to the sewing machine ............. ;o)

Joy where did you get the coconut mushrooms? My welsh friend loves them & it would be nice to have some when he visits next. Hugs, Jeanette
What a lovely bag! What a lucky mum!!
Love the colours and all the goodies inside too! All she needs now is some Blackpool rock! lol
Glad your mum loved the gift...I knew she would! Great picture of you to together! :0)
Can't wait to see what you're doing with Wildflower Serenade 2. I love those fabrics! :0)
Oh I remember those coconut mushrooms, I used to have them as a kid in New Zealand. Lovely fabrics.
wow. those are some different treats that I've never seen here in the US! i'm sure your mom enjoyed them!
That fabric is beautiful! I am definitely drawn to country, old-fashioned prints instead of the bright, bold colors that are so popular right now.
have a great day!
smashing pic of you and your mum - she looks lovely and i hope she had a great day.
i have not had malt loaf for years - think i may have to go find some now - a slice, with loads of butter and a cuppa, lovely!
those fabrics are absolutely gorgeous.

Happy birthday, Joy's mum! My own mum is from Plymouth, England. Joy, I just bought a Wildflower Serenade II charm pack and jelly roll earlier today. Great minds think alike they say. Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog!
Glad your mum had a great birthday.
Enjoy the Wildflowers fabrics, the colours are just beautiful and rich.
Happy birthday to your sweet mum!! Joy, I never knew pork pies were meant to be eaten cold? Wow.
