Handmade Christmas.....

Before I close the lid on the festive season.....I want to share some of the beautiful handmade gifts that arrived into my home over the last few months......I sure was a spoilt bum!!

There gorgeous tree decorations were a gift from Kaye K.....who took part in the Vintage fabric swap.....

I just had to share them.....they are so sweet.... the middle one with "The love Supreme" embroidered on it is too cute for words. (Thank you so much again Kaye) 

...and this adorable little house from Leonie...who also took part in the Vintage fabric swap....

...and then these adorable crocheted snowflakes (there is a set of them.....but only three showing).....which look absolutely stunning on my tree.....

The photo doesn't do them justice.... 

the tree has been slightly (or majorly) disheveled by cyclone Bella and Brooke....but NEXT year.....

when we start a fresh......our tree will look just beautiful....and the snowflakes will be the swan song.

.... this gorgeous cushion was a gift from Janelle.....made from a mix of vintage fabrics..... in colours I adore...it matches in perfectly with our home.

....and these beautiful servers from Jane at Kabwares......who must have secretly peeked into my home....and known I was badly in need of some.

(I was also pretty excited to see that Kabwares herb markers were for sale in Sussans over Christmas)

and this beautiful teatowel.....with the most booootiful trim.....from dearest Moi.... this one wont be for dishes....it will be for special tea towel moments!

 So that's a little of what made me happy over the last few weeks....

I was also the recipient of some beautiful cards..... fabrics....and other gifts.....all of which will hold special memories ...and reminders of friendships in 2011.

Thankyou.
