January 8th Scavenger Photo Hunt - Gift/s
I had planned on sharing things I had crafted as gifts however sadly one of the recipients still hasn't received her pressies due to the previous tier 4 conditions and now the latest lockdown we are dealing with. I don't want to spoil the surprise, so her gifts are all stashed safely together ready and waiting for when we can all get together again.
So, I thought I would share a 'stocking present' to Himself and I from Eldest and his lovely partner. Each one of us received a carefully chosen woodland creature, however they were 'naked' so every little animal was lovingly given a wardrobe of warm tweeds and woollen scarves.
They were the first thing we opened on chrimbly morning and I found it hard to put mine down (which in case you had not already guessed is the Hare!) I kept stroking her lovely felted ears and admiring her fringed kilt and warm shawl.
The rather dapper Mr Badger is Himself's and he loved him immediately. Mrs Hare and Mr Badger are tree decorations however, when the tree was packed away, these two remained out and will do so from now on.
They linked their arms and explored their new surroundings, taking in the air and checking out the hyacinth bulbs then wandered along the small aloes and cacti on the window ledge.
They even checked out a few houses, I suspect they will move around a bit until they find the spot they like the most 🥰 - as you can tell, I am still besotted by them!
2020's chrimbly day was a very different one, it will have been for most folk, Mrs Hare and Mr Badger brought such a lovely moment of joy and will continue to do so through 2021.
Right, that was a minute of light-hearted waffling, I am off to see what the others have shared - until next time - stay safe xx
Your new friends are ever so cute and make a handsome pair.

Hi Julie, no, they were a 'stocking' gift from my son and his girlfriend :)

ReplyDeleteThank you Jayne xx
DeleteI love these, they are so cute and such lovely little stocking presents :)
ReplyDeleteWe do too :) they were such a lovely thought :)
DeleteThey are lovely; well done Eldest and partner. I can see why you'll be keeping them out all the time now. Some things are not just for Christmas. x
ReplyDeleteI quite agree, they are happily standing on the shelf and they don't look festive at all, so they will definitely have an all year round lifestyle!
DeleteThe two of them are so lovely together, I just love the way they go "exploring" :-))
ReplyDeleteThank you Ella, I suspect they may 'explore' some more some time soon :)
DeleteThey are just gorgeous & I can see them popping into see us quite regularly. Very weird Christmas indeed, but hoping upon hope this years may be somewhat better. BTW, my word for the year is HOPE. Thanks for our hunts. Take care, stay warm & safe and hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) and a very good word, very good word indeed :)
DeleteThey are splendid.
