Just one week ago while visiting one of my favorite blogs Shabby Scraps, I read Tiffany's enjoyable post Shabby Scraps Shame. Scrolling down I saw a small bottle filled with glitter, beads and a small pink bottle brush tree; its cork cap covered in glass glitter; the bottle tied with a pink satin ribbon with letters spelling out wish. I GASPed. I’d never seen anything like it and immediately emailed to see if it was for sale. It was!
Feeling guilty about buying myself a treat during the holiday season I got up the nerve to ask Tiffany (Shabby Scraps Boutique) if she would be interested in a swap, and if she wasn’t I would put the bottle on my Christmas list. I was thrilled when Tiffany agreed and even more excited just days later when my package arrived. Thank you, Tiffany for all of the wonderful treats! Everything was packaged so beautifully. I had to take lots of photos to share ...

Tiffany sent many surprise treats all tied with ribbons and garland. Look at the card she made!

As adults we don't often get surprised with a box full of sparkly treats. How much fun to find all of this. I began to "play" immediately ...

I tied the letters to some twine and displayed my card. I love how the roughness of twine can offset things from getting too-too girly (in my home).

Why yes, that is another Bonne Maman jar filled with candy canes (beside a Vlasic pickle jar!).

I tied ribbon to the snowflake and hung it up to add a little sparkle.

And of course the beautiful jar. So seemingly simple yet so creative, inspired and special. Thank you so much Tiffany. I will treasure all of this always! (I hope you receive your package soon!) xo

Tiffany is wonderful! I had such a good time talking to her at Silver Bella, she was one of my favorite people there.
I bought a cute jar from her too! I'm on vacation now, but am looking forward to it being there when I get home.
A girl has to have some sparkle in her life! Always. That is soooo cute. Those jars feel like your looking into a magical little wonder land to me and I love all the little extra surprises she sent you, that card is beautiful and the dishes that you have are so pretty, wanna swap those?? PLEASE, LOL.

I love that little jar! It is so sweet. What a fun swap!! (And even us grown-up girls need a little sparkle now and then!)
Okay, I know I just left a comment, but I've had a chance to look through a bunch more entries and just wanted to tell you that I love your blog and will be adding it to my daily reads...thanks for the inspiration.
