I've been RAKed ...

...ou en français j'ai été RAKée ce qui a au final encore moins de signification pour les non initiés =)
explications donc !
Il y a quelques fois les Giveaways , les sortes de 'concours' auxquels on s’inscrit pour avoir la chance de gagner le cadeau mis en jeu via un commentaire qu'on laisse sur le blog concerné...
Et puis il y a les RAK , en anglais Random Act of Kindness , plus ou moins un acte de gentillesse distribué au hasard qui consiste à choisir une personne et lui envoyer des cadeaux, juste comme ça, pour lui faire plaisir , sans qu'elle ne s'y attende
C'est qui m'est arrivé, j'ai été RAKée =)


 Lynn, en Angleterre, qui fait des choses superbes, a décidé de m'envoyer des petits cadeaux juste comme ça, pour me faire plaisir et ça a marché !!
Déjà j'ai presque eu du mal à ouvrir le paquet tellement bien préparé.
La carte faite main comportait à l'intérieur des mots très gentils et accompagnait 3 superbes cadeaux que voici que voilà....


Un collier avec une miniature de broderie représentant une théière, je vous assure, c'est tout petit !
Une coussin à aiguille au crochet et un petit ornement avec de la broderie très fine et des perles...le tout dans mes couleurs =D
Magnifique !
C'est qui la grosse veinarde ?? =D
Mille mercis encore à Lynn pour cette très belle surprise

Sur le front des croix...bientôt des photos...promis =)

I made a small explanation in the French part of what a RAK is, but I'm quite sure that in this part of my post, the title explains everything...that I'm a very happy lucky girl and that North of France is still echoing the endless WOW I shouted yesterday =D
I've been RAKed by Lynn at Happiness is Cross Stitching.
Ho yes you can say it too , wow =)
Lynn always creates wonderful things that I each time admire on her blog...and I'm the (very very very) lucky recipient of one of her first RAK this year....
I first didn't dare to open the beautiful package Lynn made... I had to take a picture of it !
But I must confess, I didn't hesitate long =)
And what a surprise in the parcel, 3 over beautiful pieces with which I immediately felt in love =)


A necklace with a tiny (believe me, it's tiny !) stitched tea-pot, a crocheted pincushion and an ornament with an incredibly small embroidery on it !
So you agree now ? WOW =)
The handmade card is also filled with kind words that touched my heart  ♥
And of course everything in the colours that I love ...



Once again Lynn (yes I already sent a crazy mail yesterday =D) , thousands of thank you for all those gifts that I absolutely love and will treasure.
You made my day and I'm very very very happy.
I raise my glass to our friendship wishing it lasts forever, you know what I mean ;)

I'll continue my day with stars in my eyes and as the sun is here today too it's going to be another beautiful day.
I'll be back soon with stitches

  8. Ben dis donc copine tu es gâtée!!!!! c'est génial ce truc de recevoir des cadeaux comme ça j'aime beaucoup le principe. Je viens de découvrir le post précédent je sais pas comment j'ai loupé mais bon on va dire que je suis un peu submergée... j'ai adoré les étuis à lunettes pour tes parents vraiment c'est sympa au moins tu sais toujours où elles se trouvent et puis les chouette et ben c'est chouette... Quant aux moutons... que dire ben juste que j'adore les moutons!!! preuve en est ton petit coussin vert reste toujours dans la salle et il n'est pas là de bouger!!!!
    Sinon j'espère que vous allez bien et que ce mois de Mars vous amènera beaucoup de cadeaux, surtout à la fin du mois... ton petit vieux va souffler ses 60 bougies cette année il me semble...

    ENORMES bisous ma copine et à très très vite!!!!

      j'ai été gâtée !! j'avoue j'aime aussi le principe du cadeau surprise qui arrive dans la boite aux lettres...
      mars c'est notre mois ici et il a bien commencé, espérons vraiment que ça dure !!!
      merci pour tous tes gentils mots ma copine.
      Je suis une pièce que tu vas surement aimer, mon vieux m'a dit que je devrais surement la refaire pour quelqu'un qui aller adorer une fois qu'elle la verrais =)
      mais c'était avant de lire ton commentaire sur son age et de t'affubler d'un gentil nom d'oiseau que je ne répèterai pas ici hahahaha =D
      Il t'aime aussi
      bon weekend ma copine
      gros bisous

  10. Hi Valerie,

    I am so glad you like your gift that I put together for you, it was such a pleasure to make these, I must admit I think purple is starting to be one of my favourite colours after making these!
    I have been in my craft room all day today making cards with my mum, we have had such fun. Hopefully I will get your RAK on my blog today.
