When I entered the blogging world I would never guessed I'd make so many friends. About a year ago I "met " a girl named Celia, she lives in Australia and guess what...She's portuguese. Since then we've been in contact with each other either by the net or by phone. This Summer she came to Portugal and we met yesterday. It was fantastic. She is the most wonderful person, I loved spending the afternoon with her. We talked a lot, it seemed we knew each other for ages. She will be back nest year and we are going to meet again but this time for a longer period of time.
We had lunch together at Vasco da Gama shopping center in Lisbon, this is a photo taken outside the shopping facing Estação do Oriente.
In our hands are the present bags we exchanged
It was a fantastic afternoon, hopefully there will be more next year.
During our lunch I couldn't resist and opened my gifts. Oh my God! I'm so lucky to have such a generous friend. Look all the fantastic things she brought me all the way from Australia. I fell like a kid in a candy store
Beautiful fabric, I love the kangaroo print.
Some quilting magazines and the latest Lynette Anderson's book
A gorgeous table topper with a lovely label. I'm going to cherish it
An apron panel with a wonderful cheery print
Friends are really one of the most wonderful things it the whole world.
Thank you Celia for being one of my dearest friends!

Some great patterns, a video lesson on needle turn applique, a flying geese ruler and fabulous needle case that opens both ways.
