Three vintage postcards, from Kansas, Holland, and Michigan! Oh, and how amazing is it that she used old sewing patterns as filler?
Vintage Better Homes & Garden's magazine from May, 1970.
And, oo-la-la!! A little straw purse, a t-shirt from her store, vintage bracelets, a small ladybug pin, a tiny green clay pot, a vintage scarf, handmade earrings, an adorable notepad, and a little card with chocolate in it! What did I tell you? Seriously spoiled!
And to top it off, a little package came from my creative bestie, and host of this amazing swap!
Everything fit perfectly in this teeny-tiny box, and of course, was adorably packaged.
I looooove the owl pin. She knows me too well.
And this homemade card is currently residing on my fridge, being held up by the cute little clothespin clips.
I sent my package to Kelle of Rice Babies. I got everything put together late at night, so the pictures are dark. Sorry...
First, I found this little birch twig basket, and three little green eggs. Kelle is currently expecting her third little one, and I love thinking of a family as a 'love nest'... anyways, I wrapped them all up and tied them with a little left over yarn.
I also made this little pillow, since I was still on my embroidery kick... It says grow and has little Queen's Anne Lace stitched on. Here's the back fabric:
I also made a little group of vintage buttons and a little card -
Oh mail, how I love thee!! There is really nothing better than pretty little packages waiting for you when you get home from work. It's pretty much the best, ever. I can't wait to join another little swap. Have you heard of any good ones lately?
