On December 16th, we opened our Hitty-sized copy of Pride and Prejudice for Jane Austen’s 250th birthday! We love the variety of little gifts – every day is a little bit of comfort and joy!

Thank you Crafty friends, and thanks especially to our crafty friend who organised it once again, and to her sister whose idea it was in the first place!

Quimper Hittys 
Those are gorgeous gifts Kjerstin and a nice mixture of things.
We like the variety – some things spice up the winter, some to help you feel good in other ways – and everything made with thoughtfulness and generosity.
It is a lovely idea.
So glad you’re enjoying the gifts of craftiness that your crafty friends have put together. It’s a delight to share in your joy.
I am glad you are enjoying it too – we are reminded of the Christmas spirit every morning!
Watching your calendar is way better than having one!
It’s fun to open the little packages, and then to share with you, and hope it doesn’t come across as gloating!
Absolutely not gloating!! I love the updates, thank you again
this is such a very fun event and project. I am so enjoying seeing what you and your friends come up with for each day. No dissapointments!! Every day a surprise.
It is so much fun – I just love the whole project, and I think most participants agree!
I forgot to add that Hitty Marie Claire loves the chicken shaped soap!
Isn’t that the most adorable soap of all time!?
Christmas baking – I bet your home smelled wonderful! Hope the Hittys did not tire out from all that work!
The Advent Calendar treats all sounds so spectacular!
