Nice stuff Colette! Do you mind reviewing the Old Navy boatneck sweater? Do you like it? It's really chic for Old Navy!
I got elbow length black cashmere gloves (found on bluefly, last pair!), another pair of black shorter cashmere gloves, some money, black sweater tights, some saffron (my mom has to buy it from the iranian store), itunes gift card, figs, chocolate, an old ghost stories book I'd been looking for, Uncle silas (the book- victorian somewhat hard to find creepy story), a picture frame, red nailpolish...

I'm actually wearing it right now, for Old Navy it's good quality. I'm not thrilled with how it lays in the sides, like it has a bit of a pucker to it but other than that it's really comfortable and pretty cute!

I'll post what I got later, but I am going to exchange two purses I got if the owners of the store will let me. I think they will. They are a little teeny bopper for me and not me. They were given to me by two different people who will never know if I tote them or not. The place they came from sells fabric, patterns, sewing notions, etc and I am going to swap them for some fabric and patterns.

The best gift was that SO got a Christmas tree for me and put it up on Christmas eve after I went to bed. Since I just moved into his place a week ago, things were pretty hectic and we decided not to get a tree, even though I really wanted one. So, he got a fake tree from my mom that she wasn't using this year and put it up in our living room to surprise me.
Here's a pic:
Hopefully, next year, we'll be in a house and have a huge tree, but this was sweet of him to do this year.
An antique cast iron squirrel nutcracker from my brother. It's pretty humorous. We spent most of Christmas Eve making it sing carols. A little too much wine and egg nog...
