The award for Most Amazing Swapper in the role of Queen of Valentines goes to….tada
Laura and I did a one on one swap for Valentine's Day and I was the lucky recipient of a beautiful box of heartfelt goodies.
A beautifully presented box was packed with the most gorgeous of handmade things.
This altered heart candy box as you can see is all done up in vintage soft pinks.
packed inside were all sorts of ephemera….cupcake toppers, ballerinas, tickets, stamps, tags….gah!
A vintage hair comb, appliques
ribbons
and pins and birdies OH MY!
This is the most original clever creation. Akin to an Engish "cracker" it's a pine log
and she "Pines" for me – haha.
When I opened the end out tumbled more goodies.
There was yet another little white heart and a huge bag of chocolates. Thank you sososososososo much, Laura. I appreciate every sweet touch you put in this beautiful box.
I'm just thrilled to have all this fabulous Pinkness to share with all my Pink friends. Happy Pink Saturday to all of you and to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound.
Laura's blog is Decor To Adore and you definitely want to stop by to see all the eye candy she has. Also – she has the most inspiring story of perseverance and her journey to become the woman she is today.
Stop back tomorrow when I'll be showing all the gorgeous Valentines that I've received in the Dolly Dingle Valentine Exchange. xoxo Nancy

ReplyDeleteJust seeing all the camaraderie and care of these gift exchanges, with their sweet contents, so carefully chosen, and all the lovely things tumbling from the gift boxes---just wonderful.
