Dear Readers! A few weeks ago I got a Christmas parcel from Nina who owns the wonderful blog "At the Periwinkles". As soon as I opened the parcel, Tanya and Munchie left their cottage to help me unbox it. There were so many sweets and nicely wrapped gifts! "The sweets are for me me!" Munchie was quick to claim. The first gift Tanya unwrapped was this cute bar of soap. I wish you could smell it! It smells like Christmas! Tanya and Munchie oohed and aahed when they unwrapped the next gift. Isn´t it cute this miniature baking scene? I love it! What will it be in this small blue box? Three smiling pumpkins! They look so funny! Look at this mini advent calendar. The windows are tiny and the pictures behind them are adorable. It´s SO cute! Tanya is reading Nina´s card and Munchie is admiring Nina´s drawing skills. She´s really good at arts and crafts, don´t you think so? Thank you Nina for brightening up my day with your lovely parcel and for your kindness and friendship. You helped me spark my interest in miniatures and Sylvanians again! This beautiful candle wreath is a handmade gift from one of my first graders´ grandma. It smells like a walk in the woods. Hugs!
