This Christmas we took part in a vintage, thrifty and crafty gift swap courtesy of Faith, Hope & Charity Shopping. I was partnered up with Joy from Alex Drake Vintage, you can check out her blog here to see the items I sent her in return for my lovely gifts shown below.
The parcel arrived wrapped in this lovely unusual bell design paper and I was super eager to tear it open and see what goodies were inside!
These lovely handmade xmas cards made from old vintage santa images are fab and helped me feel extra chrismassy this year.
I love this retro fabric cushion cover which I might actually use as a cushion.
I am a huge fan (as some of you may already know) of autumnal colours and also anything handknitted so this mohair scarf was perfect for me!
This framed print is lovely and I like the abstract design which looks like a castle on a hill overlooking the sea. Will be a great addition to my ever growing collection of old pictures.
As a super sweet touch Joy included a pressie for Tom. This narrow vintage Topman tie was a lovely thought and he was really chuffed to have been included in this great swap.
Thanks Joy! This has been my first blog swap experience and it's definitely got me ready to search for similar swaps and get involved.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and if I don't get the chance to post again until after this weekend...Happy New Year! Here's to a great 2012 full of exciting changes, challenges and fun times!
Loll
