Isn't it lovely, so beautifully stitched and finished.
On the outside it was edged with 2 different toning ribbons which were perfectly matched to the stitching on the top.
Vivi has lined the inside of the tin with a gorgeous fabric - I wish I could find fabric like that I loved it!
Also the fabric she has used on the base is lovely too. - Again I've not seen this fabric in the UK anywhere.
Inside the tin there was some goodies - a bar of french chocolate and some nougat and also nestled inside was this tiny wee fob - On one side it had a flower taken from the design on the tin top and on the other side it had my initials.
I have so enjoyed my tin exchanges I've now received 3 with one more to receive and I have sent 2 and still have 2 to send.
My plans this weekend changed too as I was either going to stitch freebies or finish tins but Real Life got in the way a bit and neither so far has been done - but I will catch up with myself.
I did finish stitching 'And she gardened' I have to iron it yet and then there will be a picture of that to show.
We have finally been forecasted by the weather men for some snow (a bit late now), and this morning its certainly been trying - so far I think we had been the only part of the UK that hadn't had any snow but now it looks like it could be arriving!! Maybe we might get snowed in again like we did a few years ago and I couldn't get to work - that would be marvellous - just think of the stitching I'll get done LOL!!!

Wow Su, that's so pretty. Congrats on receiving such a beautiful tin. I'm glad your tin exchanges are just as gorgeous whether you're on the sending or receiving end.
They are announcing snow for Paris too :( I just want to creep into my bed until the sun and mild temps come back!
I'm sorry you can't always comment on my blog, do you have any idea why? I'm sorry.

wow, these tins are beautiful, and enjoy your new "treasures". Having recently received my first tin in an exchange I'll be soon hunting for a suitable pattern to stitch for it. Then I might need some tips for the assembly :)
Wow, what a beautiful tin Su and I also love the one you made.
It keeps snwoing here, then brightening up. Was supposed to be having a new windscreen fitted today but the weather put paid to that as we don't have a garage for them to fit it out of the snow and wind. As it was they'd brought the wrong glass anyway!
And yet another beautiful tin! Wow. You must take a photo of them all together - what an amazing collection you're building up :)
What a beautiful tin! I love the fabric too! Sue had sent me some in pink and green in an exchange we had. I can't seem to find anything like that here in urope either.
What beautiful tins you have! The finishings are absolutely breathtaking.
Gorgeous-I am loving seeing all these lovely tins.
Verry beautiful
These tins will surely become heirlooms. Breathtaking...Pam
WOW!! You gals are doing tremendous work. I really love the ribbon trim Vivi chose on this.
