My own swap post follows below.....
My swap arrived on Tuesday - but I was at work and missed it ... the post man whisked it away and held it at the depot, two mega (12 hour) shifts later and the suspense was over, I rushed out early this morning to claim it! It was from Claire at Thriftwood and was full of wonderful surprises.
Inside were TWO beautifully sewn pictures, one was a Dr Seuss quote that I had told Claire I am fond of - I love Dr Seuss so much ... there was also another embroidered quote on a seasidy theme - I love them both - Claire had even framed them and they are already on display at Touchwood...
isn't this a lovely idea? a quote on a pretty print ...
There was lots more - some Kendall cake (never tasted it before - saving to share with the men) and a stick of seaside rock, some pretty pencils in a flowery pot, a Homes & Antiques magazine to settle down and read, some sandcastle flags, a pretty little star fish which is with my seaside picture in the guest bathroom, and the most beautiful little wooden acorn lightpull - just the ticket for my bathroom too, I hope I didn't forget anything!
I love my acorn sooo much! This was a huge parcel and it was very exciting to unwrap and find so many lovely things to treasure. Thankyou to Claire for being a fabulous swap partner....
For my side of the swap I sent Claire silk painted scarf and lavender bag gifts on a woodland/countryside theme - you can visit Claire **HERE** to see what was in my package to her.
THANKYOU CLAIRE!!! for being a fabulous swap partner xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Betty. Hope all is well with you and the family and that you have and are continuing to enjoy the Summer. What a lovely swap but pity you missed the mail man and had to waste time at the depot.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Friday.

Oh, wow, what a kind and generous swappee Claire is. I love everything and that Dr. Seuss quote is so you! My swap partner Julie and I have communicated this week and are sending our parcels out at beginning of next week. I keep changing my mind about what to send! That scarf is gorgeous, btw. Well done. Have a great weekend, Betty. x
ReplyDeleteHi Betty, just to let you know that my swap partner and I have been in touch and like you I missed the postman so I'm off to pick up her parcel shortly - I hope that she gets hers as it was posted on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the fantastic swap - it's a little like Christmas!
