wedding gift

Last Saturday was my friends' wedding day and I just had to make as much of the present as I could. I love personalized gifts and I really wanted to make something special for them. Special people deserve special gifts, right? :)
Anyways, this is what I've done: I've crocheted this doily...




... added this label, so that they know how to wash it ;)...

... cross-stitched a motif of a heart and assemled it (with invaluable help of my husband :D) into a card...
...put this nice quotation inside...
...cross-stitched a dollar symbol on the sack (I'm sure you can guess what's inside...;))
... bought and old book and put everything into the case...

... added the spider's web and the spider to show how old the case is ;) (I really don't know where the spiders take all the patience to amke those from. It was easier to make a spider than the web :D)
...and wrapped it nicely, using the recycled flowers (click here, if you don't remember them)

Now, I only hope the newly weds will like it and that it's going to be one of the many other treasures they are to find on their way :)
