Gifts: From a friend

Little birdy teacup
I exchanged gifts with my friend, last weekend, and she really enjoyed the pillows that I made her. I was relieved, because as much as I love gift giving it can be stressful. I couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful and sweet gift, in return ! She got me a soy candle, a teacup, and a tin of Earl Grey tea.

I can't express how much I love this adorably sweet teacup. I have been drinking even more tea than usual, because I feel that it should always be out on display instead of sitting in a cupboard.


Paddywax "Snow" soy candle













I have been burning this candle every time I'm in my room, and I still can't get enough of it. The combination of spruce, holly and cranberry is enough to make any room (even in this mild, snowless winter) feel Christmas. 

Tazo Earl Grey tea (available at Starbucks)

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I drink two things constantly: tea, and Diet Coke (I'm really healthy, right..?). Earl Grey is my absolute favourite.. it's such a classic! I love sitting in front of the fire watching movies with a nice cup of earl grey tea. 

On an unrelated note, I am one person away from having 400 followers ! I would never have thought that to be possible when I started this blog, two years ago. I am so grateful. I have also decided that I am going to open up an Etsy store to sell these pillows and other designs, like it. I should be looking at opening it after Christmas, when all the excitement of the holidays begins to die down. Hope everyone is having a great week, so far ! x
