Thank you Dear Stacecase!!

I'm so sorry its taken me awhile to get these pictures up. Suffice to say, I hate dishwashers!  

I have the most wonderful Christmas swap here, Oooo, where to start....

Well, have a look at this!



Isn't she wonderful! I have sweets and a darling little town house with it's own electric candle. A reindeer tree ornament, hot chocolate, a swizzle stick and a polishing cloth.

As well as this wonderful bead, unity.



Perfect for this time of year.



Thank you so much, I love it all and the foxes...I'm a sucker for all things vulpine. Thank you so much stacecase for being so thoughtful and making my Christmas swap such a special one! x x x  

         

One last thing, while photographing my beautiful swap, look what rolled past the house. I felt it before I saw it, it rumbled past very fast...



The Dickensian Christmas Festival must be on in the village.  

Merry Christmas everyone!

Oh how wonderful - such a lovely lovely swap And you are so both right, Panda and Stace, "unitiy" is a most fitting (and beautiful) bead for this time of year (and for all times of the year )

What a wonderful gift!

Merry Christmas Pandabee!

What wonderful treasures, the bead is a great choice and I love your little light up house - Merry Christmas!

(and pretty neat what rumbled by your window too!)

great package and wonderful bracelet!

may I ask if the red bead next to the Dala Horse is the Red Cross bead?
Your fireworks bead looks lovely too, the one I had seen was not so nice and I left the shop without a bead, might try another shop or buy the mittens maybe.

have a nice Xmas time

Ohhh I'm so glad everything arrived safely! Your bracelet is stunning, I'm happy you're happy and you're very very welcome. I hope you and your family have a warm and Merry Christmas!

Well spotted, yes it is the Red Cross bead. I got it in another swap over on the TB gallery swap. It's a lovely tomatoey red, like the red chakra bead.

The fireworks bead is very lovely also, crisp...actually the mittens are wonderful too, chunky, balanced and very tactile.

Merry Christmas to you too Cats!

I have been wearing my new bead all day, I love it.
...But I've only just switched my little house off, its been on since I posted photos and it showing no signs of fading. That is a good battery. The sweets and the swizzle stick have gone to meet their maker, very, very tasty....I regret nothing!

ah Panda, I have been eying the TomatoRedCross for some time now, but I don't want the white leather, maybe I can convince that dealer to give me a brown leather necklace and I will pay the difference, not sure she does it, my local dealer has given up TB, he would have done it immediately.

LOVE it all! Great package.

What an amazing package! The unity bead really is perfect for Christmas and also because it symbolizes the unity of this lovely forum here. Thank you for also sharing the nostalgic view from your window! Lovely!

If the battery fails on the electric tea light, you can replace it with a normal wax tea light candle too

great surprise for Christmas
