For the little ones:

  1. Christmas Decoration by Cut N Glue
  2. Decorative Cushion by Tiges & Weince
  3. Nursery Art by Graphic Spaces
  4. Brag Book by Flymama

For adults:

  3. Personalised Notecards by ME! (CityKitten Designs)
  4. Shaving Bag by Queen Bee 55

Tomorrow join me for some edible treats.

Have a beautiful day,
