A little surprise from across the Atlantic
Every year for the past three years I’ve participated in an international ornament exchange. It’s mostly between expat women abroad, but some of us consider ourselves “international” even once we’ve moved back to the states. I’ll eventually post a picture of the hand-made one I sent out, but look what just arrived in the mail from Germany!
The ornament is all lace, made by hand. It looks lovely on our tree, amongst the hand-made ornaments my (French) friend Julie made last year, and the snowflake topper I got last year from an expat in Denmark. Thank you, secret elf!

I´m glad you like it! You can take it off the card it´s on, I thought it would ship better if I left it on.

Love it! Love it!
Haha, good point about the card, although I kind of like the contrast.

Wow! Is that lace handmade? I am always very impressed with detailed crafts like that.
