First week

The first week of January is almost over, and holiday-things are little by little getting back to their boxes for next year. It's still pretty dark here in the evenings, so candles are a must. I rummaged my candle holder stash (well it's nothing compared to my fabric or wool stash but there are a few), and I found this beauty, which I am pretty sure I haven't showed you earlier:


That picture really doesn't do this cutie justice, it has happy foxes and beautiful leaves on it, and when there's a candle inside and the day gets darker, it reflects beautiful foxes and leaves all around the room...


...and those foxes inspired me today, and the first fox-bag for this year was born:

 

It moved into my shop with some little tweets I have made this week. Oh my, it's been a great first week for this year, and now it's time to wish you a

Happy first weekend of 2013 soon!

Yours,
Mia

Hello Vivienne,

Have a great weekend!

Hei Nova!

Kiitokset! Lanko-mieheni osti tuon kettu-lyhdyn tuliaiseksi minulle (siis mies ihan omineen :) vitsit!), ja se on ihana! Ketut on ihan parhautta :)

Mukavaa viikonloppua!

Hello Anne,

The candle holder came with a larger candle in a glass jar, and it had a divine scent but I have burnt it all :) Now i use it with a tealight, but it needs "a real" one with real fire to get the little foxes and leaves dancing all around the room...pretty!

Have a great weekend, we'll talk soon again!

Yours,
Mia

Hello Cindy,

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
