I am so glad that I joined Sandy at 521 Lake St 's cloche swap. What a fun idea to take dollar store plastic wine glasses and turn them into mini cloches! I was lucky enough to get paired up with my fellow Virginian Pam who blogs at Virginia Retro! I got my package this week and was just blown away by her generosity and thoughtfulness.
Look at all this "Springy" stuff. That little rabbit head ornament is adorable. He is hanging on my Easter tree now!
Isn't this the cutest cloche! I love the tulle and Easter egg at the top, so frilly!
So much fun stuff! I love the little wooden rabbits and carrots and I know that seam binding will come in handy.
See that Cookies 'N Cream Bunny? Good thing I took a photo of it because it's gone now! I love the little book about what it means to be Southern. Pam wrote a cute note that said "I wasn't born in the South but got here as quick as I could". Too funny!
Beautiful lace and doilies and a decorated egg shaped box.
Flower seeds! Can't wait until time to plant these.
Beautiful hanky and table scarf. Love the colors!
This was the best of all! Look at that Pixie Pin! OMG! I have worn it every day since I got it! He is so cute and creepy, he's perfect! And behind him is the cutest little bird that I have clipped to my Easter tree and some beautiful springy ribbon.
I have had such a great time this week, tweaking my Spring and Easter decorations with all this goodness that Pam sent me. She is such a sweetie and I am so glad I have gotten to "know" her through blogging.
I am headed to a couple of Estate sales this weekend, last weeks were a bust, I came home empty handed. I am also planning on cleaning and decorating my front porch for Spring. It looks so forlorn and deserted right now. Everything needs to be cleaned and get a coat of paint to freshen it up.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Blessings
Linda

Pam and I were paired last Easter for a different swap and she's definitely generous and so creative. Look at all those fun treasures! Good luck with those estate sales. I saw two this morning and I'm hoping there will be something left after work.
PS. It's another gray and blustery day in West MI. I swear we will never have green grass again. Boo.
It is so much fun to see how each crafter interprets the swap challenge! My how cute! Pam is a generous partner indeed!
Oh wow, what lovely items you received! Everything is so pretty and perfect for Easter :) Happy weekend!
Fun swap! So nice to be paired with someone so generous.
Hi Linda, Glad you like everything! It was 70 here today and I really need to get in the garden, but with all the rain we had this week we're still too muddy. Have fun this week-end!
BTW, I just did a post on the wonderful goodies you sent me. I have to finish my display with my new goodies and show it off soon.
