Wow! I've been so lucky!
I joined Lakota of Faith Hope & Charity Shopping's Christmas swap and was lucky to get Nicole of Nicole Needles as my partner. Her swap parcel arrived yesterday and I waited till today to open it so that I could take photos while the light was good. I was amazed at the vintage loveliness inside!
First of all - some cigarette cards - a mixture of sportsmen, and other bits and pieces. There was also a wee album to put them in.
Then this fab vintage garland and some spices for mulled wine - they smell really Christmassy!
Included was a lovely little doily with gorgeous flowers around the edge. There was also a handmade pot holder in beautiful vintagy fabric. Included were the instructions on how to make it - might give it a go.
And last, but not least was this lovely vintage Christmas card, which held an actual card with a child's handwritten note inside - how sweet!
So, Nicole - many thanks - you have chosen such thoughtful gifts and I am so happy with each and every one of them. Check out Nicole's blog and see the wonderful clothes she makes from vintage patterns.
And thanks also to Lakota for organising such a great event.
Love, Liz

Have a delicious day!
How sweet is that vintage Christmas card? I would say you received some very nice items. You sure did show some restraint by not opening till the morning, I would have opened it right away. Very nice gifts, I'm off to check out Nicole's blog.♥
Nice little vintage collection. Love that card!
How wonderful! Sometimes a gift exchange can be hit or miss! So glad that you loved all your presents. I love the vintage cards! Those are some handsome looking fellows!
I wanted to thank you for your kind words and sympathy these last few weeks. I am overwhelmed by the support and comfort I received from my blog friends. It really has helped me cope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I hope you have a lovely week!

Such lovely blog candy, as we say.:) How exciting to open such parcels. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and health and happiness in the New Year.
