I've given myself a second night off planning for work!
Well it is the start of the weekend and I can always do a bit tomorrow and Sunday.
I blogged a couple of weeks ago about the fab parcel that Pomona sent me for Lucey's button swap. Now that I know that Pomona has taken safe delivery of my end of the swap, I can safely show you what I sent her.
First up...
I bought a couple of these frames ages ago because I liked the limed look of them. I used one to frame a postcard I was given, but this one has been waiting for inspiration so I used it to frame a button heart which I glued onto a pretty backing paper.
A calico bag onto which I sewed lots of pretty little buttons.
A notebook which I also embellished with some buttons and added a ribbon place-marker complete with little heart shaped button on the end.
A lavender scented pincushion.
A vintage tin with the Queen and Prince Phillip on into which I put chocolate buttons, some real buttons and a piece of lace.
I really love swaps, thanks to Lemonade Kitty for organising this one.

lovely swap gifts, you have a real talent for putting together goodies that your partner will love - as I did when you were my heart swap partner!
ReplyDeleteHope all is going well with your new job, it is a manic time of year where I am, so much course work to moderate!!

I really love the Royal Tin, I have a thing for them! lol!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely parcel to receive - I have only just got my broadband back, so haven't been able to post a thank you, but will do right away. The bag must have taken you hours to do - I really appreciate all the work you put into it.
