I have treasure in the form of the wonderful swap parcel contents I have received from
Louise my Christmas Cracker swap partner at ButtonsandBebes.
She has sent me some lovely choccy treasure among other beautiful things:

Just look at how much you can get in a homemade Christmas cracker:

Beautifully neat presentation:

It is all so smashing,buttons galore and vintage buttons at that,a beautiful brooch which is made by Louise herself,go here to see more and Louise's shop. There are little charms,sparkly bits,little silver hearts and a Christmas pud charm,ribbons too.

Can you see the Christmas pud?  I love it!!!! The fabric is amazing too! There's a postage stamps piece and a nautical piece. I am already thinking what I can do with that fabric. Louise also sent me a charming letter and a christmas card with  Frightfully British Let's brew up fridge magnet ....I so like to receive typical Brit things like that.

As I forgot to take photos of what I sent to Louise she was kind enough to send me a pic of the contents of the Christmas cracker I sent to her.

 I tried to add as much variety as possible as Louise makes brooches and kiddies hair accessories.

• some herbal tea and a crocheted mug cosy
• embroidery silk
• three different pieces of fabric ,two Christmassy and the other chiffon
• buttons of course
• fantasy clips and pins
• ribbons
• a mini christmas crochet sock with bells
• a little lace fan brooch I brought off a friend's stall
• flowers
• and I think I put in an Alicantina fridge magnet but I don't see it here...did I forget it???  Yikes!!!....tch!!!

 and now I must fly as I have a lunch class to teach
