All the way from France!






The humbugs from the EMS Challenge:Humbugs Dark and Light Exchange arrived.:)



They are beautiful! Dom, who sent them to me, stitched them up using Primrose, from L'atelier du Pic Vert. It's a beautiful blend of colors. The way they look on the dark brown reminds me of chocolate with frosting. Mmmmmm. (In the first picture I was trying to hold them up together, with the door in the backdrop,but I don't think it came out quite as it should have. I'd click the camera and wiggle over and over. *chuckle)
She had wrapped them in the pink tissue paper, and enclosed a nice note and a kit of Christmas Cards as an extra little goodie. I had done my "usual" in not touching the lovely puffy envelope until I realized after passing by it several times that the envelope was open! I pulled everything out, worried that they didn't quite make the long journey. But, they did. I had heard about other stuffed stitched items not making it to their destination. Instead, an empty envelope arrives. *Gasp! Wasn't the case (thankfully) this time.
Aren't they sooo pretty?????
Thank you Dom!!!!!
I also realized after mailing out mine to *destination* that I wrote the note in English. Grr I should have written in English, translated it on Google and then wrote that as well. So sorry *exchange partner*.
Speaking of which, she should be getting mine soon. I hope.....

Such sweet little humbugs. I like the picture of them in their packaging; it puts the size into perspective. :)
