Lovely Gifts!

I was very excited to receive the following Christmas gifts from Rob this year and they all come highly recommended!

This lovely stack of reclaimed vintage fabrics from rope.etsy.com. An 8 pack of 12" square pieces costs $6.

This charming soft sculpture "Baby Hare Feldspar" is gazing at the moon. Similar textile ornaments, bags, squirrels and more are available from Dragon House of Yuen.

Wonderful vegan mineral make-up from PinkQuartzMinerals.

Beautifully scented guest/sample-sized soaps from Wild Olive. This botanical collection includes Lemongrass & Chamomile, Patchouli & Sandalwood, Oatmeal & Vanilla and six more. You also get a voucher for a complimentary full-sized bar when you've picked your favourite!

Hope everyone had a happy Christmas... :)

The EtsyVeg Gift Exchange

What a lovely surprise I had today when my gift from a member of the EtsyVeg Gift Exchange was delivered by the postman!


Lots of EtsyVeg members agreed to send a gift to another member to whom they were secretly assigned. My gift went to a lady called Esmeralda in Sweden; and I was lucky enough to receive these sweet little sailing boat buttons and gorgeous glass star earrings from Lucy of Lunique Jewellery.


I couldn't be more delighted as they are just the sort of thing I love. The buttons will take pride of place in my button collection - until I find the perfect project for them, and the earrings will be ideal for special days and nights out. Thank you Lucy!

Visit Lucy's Shop for all sorts of beautiful jewellery and pretty applique cushions.
