FROM::
Egg cozies, pretty teaspoons, a napkin set & a tablecloth...
LOVE that Cape Reinga one...
A pretty tray cloth that will come in handy on fathers day!
A beauteous enamel flour sifter...
And this, most amazing of all - lovely set of scales... I've always wanted a set like this. My mind was blown.
And that wasn't even all! Three retro mugs, saucers, and a lovely wooden bowl...
TO::
I reluctantly let go of items from two of my most prized collections; egg cups and salt & pepper shakers. Because really, you can actually have two many... Amy has two daughters, so I sent these matching egg cups down for them...
Amy said she loves wooden handled utensils, a woman after my own heart!
And a jar full of bits and pieces; F&D jam jar labels, F&D fridge magnet, babushka cupcake decorations, cupcake holders & a little silver spoon with a rose design.
It seemed like an adequate parcel at the time, but it wasn't as lovingly wrapped as I had planned in the rush that it was to get out of the house and to the post shop in time. And after receiving such an amazing parcel from Amy, well, you already know. That's the beauty and the dilemma of swaps isn't it? Having not participated in one for so long, I'd forgotten about 'swappers anxiety.'
Here are the links for some of the other lovely swap parcels that have been sent and received so far. Let me know if you have a link to add and I'll pop it in there...
