I signed up for only my second ever swap - the Christmas Swap organised by French Knots (thank you very much FK for organising it all) - and was very lucky to be paired up with Emma as my swap partner. We both decided that we couldn't wait until Christmas to open our parcels so yesterday I opened mine and she opened hers.
Emma's parcel was beautifully wrapped (I managed to contain myself and grab the camera before I tore off the tissue paper.)
Inside was a gorgeous bag made from lovely Japanese fabric with the sweetest little snowmen on it, a beautiful holly brooch made from felt (that'll cheer up my winter coat), a lovely felt snowman card, and a little box of Lindor chocolates (my favourites - sadly, all now scoffed.) Thank you so much Emma - I love it all. Emma makes beautiful bags and felt brooches - check them out in her Etsy Shop
My parcel to Emma was a scarf knitted in Rowan pure wool in different shades of blue and one of my knitted beanie hats - also in various shades of blue with a wool felt flower and vintage button trim. I think these might come in useful this weekend as the weather forecast is for an arctic blast to hit the country tomorrow - brrr!
What a lovely bag! It's great to see all the goodies popping up on my favorite blogs.

Wow, she is sooo talented! I'm still working on mine, I didn't know the deadline was now?! Maybe I didn't read that part properly!

What joy opening the little packets and such pretty things too. Bet you enjoyed the chocs!
I'm sure Emma will love the hat and scarf.
