This angelic fairy in all her antique finery arrived this Christmas from my friendNiki in a private swap. Niki asked if I would make her one of my ballet boot lavender sachets in exchange for one of her special fairies.
WELL I was absolutely thrilled and anyone who has followed my blog over the last year can see that Niki's fairies and dolls are a big favourite in our home and I was over the moon that she would make me one of these special Christmas fairies in a swap for me.
She also sent me a lovely little rosy pot filled with trims, laces, the most beautiful buttons and the most adorable blue bird card that a girl could ever wish for. Thank you Niki!
Well just before it all gets put away until next year here are the last things I have created in 2007, these 3 wreaths.
I don't know where I found the time but anyway I managed to make some things just for me this Christmas. I love wreaths and made 2 large white wreaths and a smaller one. This first one is my winter ice wreath and has lots of pale blue and white baubles and some magnificent 3D snowflakes.
The next one was for my eldest daughter, she wanted white and silver (sorry not the greatest of photo's - will try again and put the pic on flickr)
This next one is very quick and easy to do. This is my ice queen wreath, and holds all my fav rhinestone pins.
Hey presto - one opulent wreath. I might keep this one up long after Christmas.
Well all that's left to say now is:-
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE AND LOOK FORWARD TO MORE CREATIVE WONDERMENT IN 2008!

The wreaths are divine. I found the same WISH ornament when I was visiting the US early in December and I'm going to keep it up all year long and wish to visit again soon.
Hi Ginny, gorgeous post, we adore your wreaths, they are really beautiful, the colours are just lovely. Happy New Year ! Jenn and Jacqui
Hi Ginny,
I'm so glad that the fairy flew in, in time for Christmas! Hope you enjoy using all of the little trims and lace.
Your wreaths are stunning - the colours are just beautiful - you clever girl, you!
Wishing you a very Happy New Year with lots of happiness, health and many successes.
Love Niki x
Dear Ginny!
I hope your Christmas was merry and bright but looking (and admiring) at all the wonderful picutres of your cosy home, I am sure it was!
Thanks a lot for all the wonderful picutres you shared with us on your blog. Coming here is always a great delight! (Although I did not always have the time to leave a comment).
By the way, I finally finished my ribbon memory board yesterday and and I will put some hearts of our nostalgic hearts swap on you! I still adore your very special lavender heart every day since it has a very place at my creative room.
Happy New Year to you and your family! And I am already looking forward to all your new creations in 2008!
Best wishes,
Anita

Hi Ginny
Looking forward to seeing lots more lovely posts from you in 2008! Love the ribbon wreath with the rhinestones - so simple but so effective.
Thanks for your good wishes! Happy New Year to you all - perhaps we'll get to meet in 2008 (especially if Niki has another 'open day'!).

Happy New Year Ginny! I love your gorgoeus wreaths...wow...you did such a pretty job on them! It was on my to do list this year and never got done so hopefully next year. :))
Niki's dolls are so so special and I have always admired them on your blog throughout the year. This one is very special! xoxo

Hi Ginny, we are just popping by again, we often visit, love your music, love to browse your past blogs before we 'met' you, we just love visiting!! We too look forward to your beautiful creations and posts in 2008! Jenn and Jacqui
I can't tell you how happy I am to have found you!! Some time ago I was admiring your beautiful Marie Antoinette blog and then I LOST you. When I found you again in the blogging maze I was sooo happy!! I can look at your beautiful site all day. Now, thanks to your inspiration and creativity my laundry pile will again go unfolded......so sad!

Thank you so much for your visit. Yes, you did see my tees at French garden House. Lidy is a dear friend of mine. In fact, I have a French version of one of my designs just for her.
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Dear Ginny!
I was so pleased to find you warm words about my gardening year on my blog the other day! Thank you so much... ;-))
I still owe you an answer to your question about TILDA. No, it's not magazine. It's acutally a little doll created by the Norvegian artist Tone Finnanger. I found one of her most wonderful books in November and immediately felt in love with her creations (did you see her roses on my current post?). My favourite book so far is called "Sew pretty Homestyle".
There will be lots of more TILDA things on my blog soon!
Best wishes from Germany,
Anita

Hi Ginny,
What a beautiful fairy, I've admired Niki's fairies for ages but have never been quick enough to get one! Saw your ballet boot that you swapped on Niki's blog, that's beautiful too, as are all your things. Happy New Year to you and looking forward to lots more lovely posts.
best wishes,

Those wreaths are just gorgeous!!
I'm wishing you all the best in 2008!
I almost fell off my chair when I saw those wreathes. OMG!!! Love the colors and the jewels. I would definitely be keeping those up all year long
Happy New Year to you. I found your blog at Angelina's, I'll be visiting again soon.
