Well my postman has been busy recently !
As well as my matchbox swaps arriving daily now,
I've had some other wonderful post.
I received this wonderful heart
from Textile artist Carolyn Saxby of:
LOVE STITCHING RED
Living in St Ives, Carolyn's work is inspired
by the beauty she is surrounded by.
Her textiles are dyed using plants & flowers
and produce the most delicate colours.
Thank you Carolyn
I adore the heart
and the love with which it was made
***
All of my La Mode swaps are home now
and have given me great pleasure.
Pat:
Artfully Ooglebloops
painted a "very me" flower
on her brown parcel paper !
Love it !
Pat had filled a box with wonderful treasures
and art inspired by the La Mode paper.
Lovely...
Thank you Pat-
I love what you made & sent me.

Patty:
Magpies nest
made her label from a delicate Honesty seed pod
& wrapped her goodies
in linen with embroidered hens
( A cheeky little reference to my other Blog ! )
Beautiful TAP paper transfers...
and an incredible altered tin
Packed with treasures !
Including one of Patty's famous birds nests
& delicate flowers.

What a happy mail day you had!!! I must confess- the painted flower on the brown bag/envelope - was painted by my friend Julie. She paints a flower on every bag in her shop. so, when you buy something, it is in a flowered bag, tied with a lovely snippet of wired ribbon. I save them all!!
