Faith Hope and Charity Shopping Christmas Swap

I was torn to open the gifts from my swap partner An Alien World sent me before christmas, the tempation to unwrap those gifts were so great but being so busy preparing christmas meal helped and just like a child, i did the unwrapping at 7am on Christmas day! Here are the lovely things she sent me;


She sent me a beautiful "Homemade Gifts Vintage Style" book which i did a quick peek inside the book for photo purposes and already loving it! can't wait to sit back, have a cup of tea and read it properly.


totally love the pics inside the book and already cant wait to make something from the tutorials inside :)


next, she sent me this totally adorable compact powder....sweet and oh so romantic!


and last but not least, a beautiful embroidered reindeer heart shaped decoration, it's still on my christmas tree! I love it!


Thank you soo much Alice for the gifts, i adore them and i also adore your cute handmade card, love the cute tea pot and cups in there, just lovely! it's been so much fun doing the swap, I want to thank Lakota at Faith Hope and Charity Shopping for hosting the Christmas swap, i can't wait to join again next time!

    I like the look of the book, do share anything you end up making from it. The compact is adorable. Is the card made using pieces of fabric?

  7. What sweet gifts from your friends. I wanted to mention to you that when I click on your link it comes up as "Profile Not Available." Not sure why it says that, but wanted you to know. Happy New Year, and I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful posts.

  10. Hi Susan, just catching up with all the swap posts now, Alice sent you such great things - I love them all. The book looks right up your street (and mine, although I mostly just read them and don't get around to making anything) and the decoration is gorgeous. Thanks for linking up x
