You may recall back in October that I bought some little Christmas ornaments from Susan Howarth. I liked them so much that I bought three more from her just before Christmas. I just love these little teapots and the robins are so cute!
My Christmas house is so full that I've started a new Christmas scene and these look just wonderful in it.
I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas. Mine was perfect, spent with family. I thought you might like to see my youngest grandson on Christmas Day.

All the Other Advent Gifts!
I had to decide whether to open all the advent gifts before I went away for Christmas, which felt like cheating, or save them for when I got back from my family Christmas. I'm so happy I saved them as I had a wonderful time today, opening so many!
These are all the other gifts from Kaisa.
Littlekits for lots of buildings and cars.
A great shelf unit! Very useful, just what the bakery needs.
To complete the set, another fabulous bag!
Some nature posters for the children's room.
I think maybe Kaisa's little girl helped make this gift with her lovely artwork! There is even a tiny eraser,
Very thoughtful maps of England and one of Spain!
I was so surprised to see that Kaisa had these cards printed for me! What a thoughtful and generous gift!
And look at this! Kaisa is so good with her saw. It has such a lovely, detailed back and the shaped mirror just finishes this fabulous dresser.
It's been a great swap, exciting and fun. Thank you so much Kaisa, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Two mugs. One with a photo of my dog, and proving Kaisa has a great sense of humour, the other has a photo of me on my scooter wearing a helmet!

And , oh my goodness, Kaisa has made me a desk and seat! The desk opens to hold the papers and pencils.

Advent Swap Day 13
The walls in my Tea Rooms were sadly lacking - until today when I opened Kaisa's gift and discovered five gorgeous vintage look posters! I didn't have to give any thought to where these patisserie themed posters were to hang and so put them up straight away!
The fifth poster for Coca Cola looks wonderful in the Antique shop!
Thank you so much Kaisa, I love them!
Today I sent Kaisa this little jacket and hanger. I hope she likes it!

Advent Swap Day 10, 11 and 12
The days are rushing by, I can't believe I've opened 12 gifts already!
On day ten Kaisa made me a calender which is printed for every month.
Day eleven I received a kit to make a children's card game, so sweet and tiny!
Today, day twelve I couldn't believe - another gorgeous designer bag! This one has a leather shoulder strap with a working buckle which I just had to try and it really opens and closes!
Like a child I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! Thank you Kaisa for such an exciting variety of gifts.
Take a look at Kaisa's link if you want to see what I made for her.

Advent Swap Days 8 and 9
This carefully made designer bag was my gift on day 8. It perfectly matches the purse Kaisa made for day 7 and today I opened the shiny black notebook which is so tiny but really opens by sliding off the elastic!
Amazing work by Kaisa. Thank you. X
I sent this Cushion and matching fragrance sachet yesterday.
And today Kaisa will have opened this party set.
Happy Sunday everyone!
