Enchanting Eighteen

Day 18! We're really closing in now. Yesterday the clock over the fireplace came crashing down, so I guess you could say that time is literally "flying by".
This "pretty in pink" box is from Sarah, and inside she's put a cute little tag stamped and glittered with a Christmas tree.

And speaking of enchanting, in yesterday's mail I just happened to receive my Vintage Stocking swap box from Brandy. Part of me thought about waiting until Christmas to open it up. Naw, the anticipation was too much...
I'm so glad I didn't! My jaw hit the table as I pulled the tissue back. This is so beautiful, and exactly what I would pick out if I were in a store shopping for myself.

Brandy pays attention to all of the small details that truly make a statement, like the glittery bells tucked under the pine cones, lace ribbon, and feathery garland. And how cute is this polar bear ornament complete with lace scarf and welcoming wreath.

I love this snowflakes tag (I see a die cut I think I need), beautifully detailed, and then there's this incredible tin with it's rich embellishments that houses a scented candle.

These gorgeous ornaments are spectacular, and look wonderful on the table top tree I set up.

Pretty parcels adorned with glittery snowflakes hold tasty treats...chocolate and peppermint, yum!

These tags are so pretty, and will really dress up my packages. And snowflake slippers to keep my toes nice and toasty.

And I absolutely love this feather tree made from the same feathery garland that adorns the stocking. I had some extra smaller ornaments from my Shiny Brite wreath that look perfect on this wee tree. A truly wonderful swap that is putting me in the holiday spirit.

Love this post!

I think next year I'm going to deck my place out in white, silver and blues!

Was the blue glitter snowflake from Target? I used it last year for my wedding!
