my secret santa

i am over the moon ....

our european street team each year have a game ...."secret santa"

and this year it was organised by the wonderful Mitsy AKA "Artmind"

we all filled out a mega thorough questionnaire which she had compiled;
and then Mitsy matched us all up secretly ...
we have been sneakily working away on things we are almost sure that o
ther person will love ...

fingers crossed fingers crossed...


mine arrived today and i was unable to hold back for Christmas ...
i managed to leave it unopened on my bed for the whole day ...while i tried to accomplish something ...

then at 6 pm there was no patience left
my parcel came from an address i recognised well ...one of my all time favourite etsy artists lives high in the mountains in France ....
..
the card is so brilliantly for me ... a little girl holding fireflies on spiderthread leads

with shaking fingers i opened my pressie ...


"NO WAY!!!!!"


and there it was the Frida Kahlo inspired, french glass garland to die for

..
so totally totally happy !!!!

part of our mission on receiving our secret santa is to photograph ourselves with it...
eeeek so here i am .. whizzing into the bath room to try and shoot myself a
nd my wonderous garland from
Pamela Angus

...

thank you so very very much Pam !!! and thank you Mitsy for being so amazing always!!!!!!

now to find a beautiful little airy apartment in Paris to match my garland !!! :)
