Again my mailman brougth me some lovely presents. Arina, a dutch lady living in Canada is participating in one my lampworking forums. She asked the forum-members to show their Christmas decorations and she rewarded some with lovely prices. Since I wrote about my Christmas tree being decorated with al kinds of handcrafted ornaments received trough several international swaps, she send me this lovely decoration and added a calender with Canadian wildlife pictures as well.

The necklace on the right is from Sol one of my customers. In october she bought one of my beadsets on E-bay but unfortunately it got lost in the mail and she never received it. Although ofcourse I wasn't to blame, I decided to make her a new set and this time send it out by registered mail and luckely this time it arrived savely. Sol makes beautiful jewelry and as a thank you she send me one of her lovely necklaces. So now we're both very happy ;)
