Caterina hosted a Christmas Swap on her blog. I got paired up to give to Flor, and I was quite tickled about this and to receive from Pepi. Pepi, I did not know, but through the help of google
translate, we were able to exchange our information.
This is what I received from Pepi.
It looks like just a plain envelope, but, look at the cute little box inside.
What is inside the box, you ask?
A ton of Christmas goodies!
A sweet little box, a wall hanging, a counted cross stitch pillow, and a tiny little card from Pepi. :)
But, what is in the little box?
A tiny perfume bottle and a single long stemmed red rose.
Thank you so much, Pepi! I love all of my swap items, it was a pleasure to have you as a partner! :)

For Flor, I popped over to her page on facebook and nosed around in her pictures to see what could I make that would compliment what she already has and would be in her style.
I discovered this Christmas scene, note the gingerbread men. :)
Well, off I ran to the fabric store and I discovered a tiny print fabric that featured gingerbread men. Great!
I made her a tree skirt (shown here with my tree that I purchased from De), a pair of pillows trimmed with bunka, and bunting- all made from the same fabric.
Recalling what her salon looked like, I thought some pillows from my shop might blend in well if she were to decorate the room for Christmas.
Her decor seems to have almost a Scandinavian feel, so I thought these pillows with their minimalist approach would suit nicely.
While I was at the fabric store, I discovered these foam gingerbread men and other decorations in the craft section. I know that Flor is pretty creative, so I added these in, thinking she could do something fun with them.
Well, there you go, there is my portion of the swap. :) Pop over to Caterina's blog to see all of the blogs. Remember, anything in pink is click-able in my postings.
Enjoy! Until, next time! :)
