Look what arrived in the post!

I must be one of the last people in the UK to acquire an all-singing, all-dancing smart phone. In fact, we are such Luddites in our house that Mr T doesn't even own a basic mobile phone! However, last week I finally succumbed to the temptations of a brand-new i-phone - and of course, I then needed a suitably lovely case. One of my favourite Folksy makers is Mary, whose shop linentree is packed full of beautifully made bags, purses and general loveliness. I cheekily contacted her and asked if she may be interested in making a custom-made cover - she kindly agreed and set to work remarkably swiftly...

...and look what arrived today! An exciting parcel with a stitched thank you tag,

Containing an exquisitely made little case! The attention to detail is amazing: even the tail feathers are stitched,

...and the flower's stem even continues onto the back:

Look at the tweed lining. Pink and orange - one of my favourite colour combinations! And it's the perfect fit for my phone.

So thank you very much, Mary. I'm thrilled with my new phone case!
