This was such a fun swap! We had 2 partners each and were to make an Easter Basket out of a yogurt cup and send 5 little treasures with it. My first partner was Karen. This is the beautiful basket she created and the lovely treasures she sent! A sweet Easter postcard, a beautiful pink broach, a lovely little doll, a decopaged egg, and a beautiful piece of sheet music with pretty pink flowers on it! Thank you Karen I love it all!
My second partner was Linda. This is the sweet basket she created! She turned it into a pin cushion! And the lovely gifts she attached to sweet little cards, glass buttons, crown charms, glass glitter, a cameo, and a rhinestone adorned roll of lace! Thank you Linda! I love it all!
Here are the five little gifts I sent. Above went to Linda and below went to Karen. I made a wreath out of a wooden curtain ring, a velvet bookmark with vintage jewels, a vintage salt shaker filled with german glass glitter, a millinery flower, and a piece of rhinestone jewelry.
I could not locate the pictures of the baskets I made my partners ( I think my computer ate them!) So hop on over to Miss Rhea's she has the complete list of partners. Thank you Miss Rhea for hosting such a great swap!
Welcome to Vintage Black Friday!
The colored ones are my favorite!
The backs of them really have alot of texture.
I recently made a purchase from Gretchen over at Mimi Torias Designs. I was blown away when it arrived!!! She does a fantastic job. She uses found elements, vintage, and a mix of new to create one of a kind pieces.
If you get a chance stop by her blog and check out her sale of one of a kind creations!
