Christmas Swaps
Hello , what a windy day!!
I did three Christmas swaps this year, with three different "cyber" friends. Sadly I forgot to take photographs of two of the boxes I sent, but they were all vintage bits. Here is what I received...
A beautiful distressed photo frame, hand knitted socks and vintage style cup cake \Christmas decoration were the contents of my last swap box x
Here's what I sent in return, a selection of individual tea bags, a pretty scalloped floral pin dish, an enamel candlestick holder, a tea strainer in the shape of a tea pot, a flower embroidered doily, a one pot tea pot and a vintage rose cup and saucer.
I love doing swaps x
I have updated my blogger and I don't really know how to use it properly yet so bits of this blog may look a bit rough...please bear with me! Hope you have all had a good start to the New Year x Please pop back soon x
