Better Late Than Never.....Right?

I have been a terribly neglectful blogger and am just now blogging about two swaps I participated in. I received my lovely packages at least 2 weeks ago.....sorry girls!

First I joined up in The Snail and the Pigeon. An international blog swap set up by the lovely girls over at La Ville Inconnue! I was paired up with Alabee over at Carpenter St.

I received a lovely journal, a shirt with a color combo that is wonderful, shell flower earrings (which I am wearing right now!), pink flower bobby pins and a box of lovely pink and green beads which I already know how I'm going to use! It came in a lovely set of paper boxes, which I neglected to take a picture of, but were very pretty. Thank you Alabee! =)

Next I joined Beth Ann's swap over at her blog Genuine Beauty and was paired up with her! I received some room spray in my favorite scent from Bath and Body Works, the Tangled soundtrack and Jolly Ranchers, I love Jolly Ranchers! The rest of my family does too, the bag only lasted about a day and a half! Thanks Beth Ann!

Vintage Jewelry Swap

Hi Folks! I am taking a break from NaNoWriMo to show you the goodies I received in a vintage jewelry swap that I participated in set up by Kjrsten over at http://haveacuteday.blogspot.com/! My swap partner lives in Canada which in and of it self was neat! I eagerly awaited my package and opened it to reveal the beautiful scarf you see the items photographed on wrapped around the jewelry.


The brooches will be joining the brooch boquet line up! She put the smaller tems on vintage photographs, how cool is that idea?=)

I loved this picture, it's an advertisement for men's shirts!

The cutest little clip on earrings, I will definitely find a way to re purpose these!

A close up of one of the cards, I loved her pose!

This pair of lovely ladies look just like my grandmother and her sister, who knows maybe they are! ;-)

Apron Swap!

I participated in an apron swap through Hand Made By Desi and this is the apron I made. I had grand plans to get it done and sent off by the second week of July, but alas, time flew away and I finished it and mailed it off the tail end of the last week. It was still July though, it may have been the last day in July but still!=)

This is the beautiful apron that I received. I got it this week, Thursday I think, but in between working, house sitting and all the other things that go into living in a house with 7 people in it, I didn't get a chance to take pictures until today! It came all the way from Bermuda, awesome right?=)

A big thank you to Desi for hosting and to Eden for my beautiful apron, this was my first blog swap and it was loads of fun!=)
