Now that my partner Nicole has received her package I can show you what I sent her! The brief was 1-3 items from an Op Shop, a handmade item and a Christmas themed item. Max value $15.
So here are the Op Shop items. A sweet little figurine...
This retro linen teatowel - it's all crushed cos I had wrapped the figurine in it before I decided to take photos.
A gorgeous old copy of Black Beauty (which coincidentally Tassy has just read - ours is a new copy and I would have kept this if we didn't already have a copy!).
I love the name, address and date inside (another coincidence - my parents were living in the tiny town of Cootamundra when they fell pregnant with me - then they moved to Sydney not long before I was born).
Plus a few bonus British Snaps cos I love them and got lots at the Op Shop a little while ago!
And I made two things - the ring is my token "handmade" item and other is my Christmas themed item.
I'm so glad you like them Nicole!

Cool stuff! I'm glad Nicole liked them :) the swap was my first swap & I thought it was fun (and a little stressful! Lol!)
Looks great! How cool is the teatowel! (Memories of my Mum's 70s assortment of teatowels ...)
What a fun idea Yvette! Love all the goodies you included in your box!!
