Online purchases and promoting friends' work.

Although I love online purchases this time for  my Christmas gifts I tried to be strictly in the budget because of the trip to the Peloponnese. Also I tried to make things myself mostly or to buy handmade from local crafters-friends.
So here are my November-December online purchases.
Vintage USSR pins from theMomsattic.

A hair felt ornament, a Christmas angel embroidery and some more stuff from Laura Lupin's of Bugs and Fishes clearance at her shop.

New moo cards for my shop.

Although I wasn't happy with the first bunch of cards they sent me after I made a complaint they made a new much better enhanced bunch so I am still happy with moo.

I definitely had to have something from my dear Paula of otchipotchi. So I got some air dried lavender and a great candle holder from her shop.

Finally not online but I have to show you this year's wall calendar which is from the dog kennel we adopted our Barca from. I bought Barca a scarf too and found some second hand cd and necklace to use the beads for my jewelry.

Two giveaway wins and a RAK.

I was very lucky to have won two giveaways recently. First the monthly giveaway from the Etsy Greek Street Team that I recently joined.
It was this pair of mosaic in a nut Christmas ornament by cubo. Theoni of cubo is really sweet and you can find some amazing mosaics in her shop.

 As I won't be putting a tree up this year I just added them to my candles. If I get a branch of pine tree to decorate I will add them to it.

 They are lovely.Thank you very much both cubo and Etsy Greek Street Team.
Then I won this lovely Christmas pattern, threads and trims in Nancy's Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe.
Nancy does giveaways very very often and right now for Christmas she has one every day. You can find today's giveaway here. This is what I got, sorry for this blurred photo!I hope I will manage to stitch it till Christmas!

Then I was RAKed(Random Act of Kindness!) by sweet Chiara of the Grey tail blog.She found this lovely cross stitch kit (The Good Life by Dimensions)that shows a dog similar to Barca and was so kind to send it to me. So this is one more thing I have to stitch! I will just trim the ears as Barca's are shorter! Of course she added a little Christmas thing too! Thank you very much Chiara!
