Reindeer Lavender Bags... stocking filler ideas

I've put some more items in my shop... Light green 100% linen lavender bags hand stamped with reindeers and Christmas trees. Would make an ideal stocking filler or small present...

It's starting to feel a lot like...

... yes, yes Christmas :) Been making batches of mince pies with a bit of dark chocolate in - they were yum and only lasted a couple of days before they were gobbled up ..
The sunset we had a couple of days ago was amazing, a real pinky red light flooding in, beautiful, I couldn't resist taking a few photos...
My daughter had to draw a picture of it too... so sweet :)

Many preparations...

Today has been a wonderful day, trips to local town to get veggies and essentials, the air had a true Wintery feel about it, the leaves on the trees are just barely hanging on now... Here is what I've been up to this afternoon ....
Yes, another box which is going live on my Etsy store in a few mins, the fabric is a beautiful grey cotton by Tilda with lovely classical flowers on.
This Sunday me and the girly decorated the house, she mostly decorated the tree herself, I think she's made a really great job :)
We made this cute decoration last year out of card...
