was a complete success.
here are some of the things that we gave (what we got coming in a separate post).
pants & matching diaper for hudson's best friend (fabric is from an upcycled sheet). his sister (who happens to be lucy's best bud) got a garage sale skateboard and some handmade-by-me skater pants--but alas, i never got a photo.
antique thread holder for my mother-in-law...
metal bucket for my brother--great for camping, i thought. on christmas day it was called to my attention that the bucket probably should have had a lid. hey--secondhand isn't always perfect, right? he also got a secondhand american apparel track jacket.

antique metal container for my friend who was in search of a lidded compost bucket for her kitchen. i sewed up a bag from a thrifted pillowcase to use as wrapping.
vintage beer glass for my dad. he's not especially into cars, but does enjoy interesting pint glasses. how could i resist something with "hudson" on it? that's right, i couldn't!
handmade initial necklaces for my friends and future sister-in-law...
the necklaces, wrapped and ready-to-go in small bags crafted from thrifted sheets...
vintage alphabet book for lucy i scored at a consignment sale over the summer....

she also got a like-new robe (pink flamingos!) and hooded towel, secondhand finger puppets, and a plethora of crocheted food...
what goes better with play food than a kiddie kitchen set? i also scored this at a consignment sale...
