We did have lovely gifts though, and I do use (almost) all of them.<br /><br />I'm loving that you got a dusty bin for a wedding gift! I had one of those as a child - I then took out the red inner bin and continued to use it as a teen who was too cool for a fluffy bin ;-)Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-36359311458782213092011-09-05T07:35:40.667+01:002011-09-05T07:35:40.667+01:00Thank you for your blog comment too!

Glad you found some glasses in your cupboard and how funny that you still had the little gift card inside!<br />I read your profile and have to agree....you are lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Last summer we vacationed in the UK and we were lucky enough to spend a little time in Scotland. We really enjoyed it.<br />Thanks for stopping by my blog and following! I'm your newest follower now.<br />Enjoy your weekend.<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951102874653675235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-28123800491529346322011-09-03T17:23:23.326+01:002011-09-03T17:23:23.326+01:00Yes, we had a "show" of presents too, an...Yes, we had a "show" of presents too, and I was SO excited abut it, it was all so amazingly generous and we got lovely things! <br />I LOVE your glasses and the cards are so poignant and sweet!<br />KarenKaren S Boothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024864830370677754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-76543124135186572802011-09-03T16:22:38.804+01:002011-09-03T16:22:38.804+01:00I remember the excitement of coming back from our ...I remember the excitement of coming back from our wedding night in the hotel to my parents house and opening all our presents infront of all the family.<br />My poor sister and her husband had 10 decanters given to them,even though they did have a wedding pressie list! :0)bellaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579328217041430937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-46643973244243672692011-09-03T15:41:28.561+01:002011-09-03T15:41:28.561+01:00Beautiful glasses!Beautiful glasses!Protector of Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214569133131550585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-45850491216135532682011-09-03T14:53:42.670+01:002011-09-03T14:53:42.670+01:00Dusty bin was well used when the kids came along -...Dusty bin was well used when the kids came along - they called him tin man!
