After all the fun I had participating in the last DUST craft swap, I decided that I most definitely had to join the Christmas swap! It was decided that the Christmas swap would be run under a kris kringle/secret Santa format where recipients wouldn't know from whom their gift was coming until it arrived. The secrecy involved in this swap has added a lot of excitement to the whole affair and I can tell you that I was very excited when a large package arrived on my front doorstep!
A gorgeous spoon pendant!
My girls and I love this shabby chic fabric wreath
I was so thrilled to see that my package was from Del of Delicious Designz. Del creates the most amazing resin jewellery (my sister and I are proud owners of Del's funky resin bangles) and fun crochet hats, beanies and shoes. And how lovely are the surprises she sent to me?!?! I have admired Del's spoon pendants for some time now and I have worn the necklace she sent to me almost every day! I also have a fondness for Christmas wreaths and Del's fabric wreath brought a big smile to my face. My girls love it too, especially the crocheted hearts dangling from the wreath hanger. Thank you so much Del, we will love your creations for a long time to come!!!
Here are photos of two of the items I sent to my recipient: a beaded book mark and a vintage text Christmas ornament. The ornament is a brand new design which I had a lot of fun creating but I wasn't able to roll it out in time for Christmas this year. The cameo setting holds a snippet of text from a vintage encyclopaedia and a is a definition of the word "rose", one of the favourite flowers of my recipient. What do you think? Would you hang these ornaments on your Christmas tree?
