swap treasures and gifts

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

& 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.

Thank you Patty

I love it all
