I have never had a necklace I could put in the dishwasher before.

Gert, you're amazing;

I needed cheering up this morning so decided to open my secret santa present and WOW, was I cheered up. I will take a photo and try and post but in the meantime I will describe this wonderful present. Thank you so much to my SS. I have wanted a book like that for ages after hearing about Beechworth Bakery on this forum; and signed as well.

My gift was MORE Secrets of the Beechworth Bakery and it was signed by Tom O'Toole. And there is more, two eight sided little dishes with a Christmas Carnival pattern; perfect to serve all those little things we make for Christmas or for DH and myself with our cuppa.

Thank you again for such a special gift; I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family, troupie.

Our SS gifts are very special, they come from friends with similar interests to ourselves so we're pretty sure to receive something really nice.
I feel, one by one they'll start being opened now.  We all love to see what others are receiving.

Well I decided to take my SS out of the post bag.  Will I be able to resist temptation for a few more days....we'll see ;D

As you can see it's in a very "Christmasy" box tht will be useful for storing things in later.  Thank you SS

Lovely gifts Troupie and Mab.

Gert, after receiving the multi-purpose flyswat, I guessed the rest of your presents would have more than one use. It looks great as a necklace.  :D

I was thinking that about opening them Judy. I keep looking at mine and wondering. I am tempted to peek in a little corner. I have a sneaky suspicion.

I have 2 of their books but neither of them are signed. That one has a lovely story with it.
I have been there when over that side of the country. I wonder, do they still have the old delivery truck outside their premises?

Gert, love the necklace. I was telling Ral about the square 'fly swat'.  He said not to hit Ted with it, if a fly should land on his head.
Things are getting a bit exciting. I have covered up my SS pressie so I am not tempted for a few more days.
