the swapping fool rides again

I had a wonderful email from Robin this morning telling me that she had received her
swap package. So now, I am happy to share it with you. We both signed up for Steph's
"I thought of you" swap. I was so excited to be paired with Robin because we both like
the same kinds of things. Here is all of the loot:

I was so excited about my ideas for presentation that I forgot to take pics of individual
items, so you will have to use your imagination a little bit. I made up three little goodie
bags. One has little vintage bits and bobs, one has millinery flowers, and the other has
vintage jewelry pieces. Oh, and honestly: is there anything more fun that trying to take
pictures of things in a plastic bag? Yep, I didn't think so:

I found some laces on their cards ... love that ... and wrapped them up in a hankie secured
with a wee safety pin. Inside a doily, I loaded up some playing cards, postcards, a calling
card, and I think some other things that I can't really remember right now. All tied up with
seam binding, an earring, and a wee bunch of posies:

Oh, and remember when I said the re~sale shop just had a bunch of crap? Well, I totally
lied because I forgot that I had purchased a crochet collar there that I used to hold some
vintage photos. Sorry re~sale shop! I will try to remember the facts better in the future.
I wrapped some pretty laces on a tag. And, I found what I believe to be the coolest flower
frog ever:

Robin has been doing work on her journal lately, so I had to include some pretty papers for
her to work with. Inside the ledger roll is some vintage flocked wallpaper. Some more lace
wrapped around a clothespin. A little Limoges plate. A button card wrapped in a hankie
completes the swap:

Thank you Stephenie for this wonderful swap and for pairing me with the perfect partner!
And thank you for coming over to visit! Til next time...
