Lori from My Faerie Window graciously agreed to do a swap with me. Her creations are truly amazing, so sweet, and filled with extraordinary detail and materials. When she told me I should be expecting my box today, I waited for the mailman like a puppy! Make that a puppy with a digital camera!
GASP! I love pretty packaging. Even a card with my name is attached to the bag with a small brad. So clever! I could hardly wait to open it. GASP!
How adorable is this? They're aren't words!
Lori calls these "felties" and I have no idea how she even makes them. I'm guessing faeries take care of things while she sleeps. Pale blue is my favorite color.
And another pretty package with a felted heart and millinery flowers on top!
Inside were Lori's wonderful collages and I love her business card!!! Check out more of Lori's creations at her shop ~ here!
Next came my order from MaryJane's new Etsy shop. MaryJane of The Beehive Cottage was my very first Etsy customer. As soon as I saw that she opened a shop, I couldn't wait to buy from her. Look at these beautiful tags! I love the images and the ribbon!
And MaryJane being the sweetie that she is, also surprised me with a beautiful journal that she made.
I love the details, the ribbon, the images ... the thoughtfulness
I have never received anything like this before and just adore it.
MaryJane is about to receive her own special delivery. Here's a sneak peek (inspired by her trailer ButtonWillow).
Borrowed some Playmobil props from my youngest son for the chick pic! Serving suggestion only.
Hope you're all having a Wow Wow Wednesday, too!

ReplyDeletewow wow wednesday for sure!
Hi
ReplyDeleteI am fairly new to blogging and have just discovered your lovely blog via My Faerie Window's blog. That bunny is gorgeous! I like the things that you make. I can't make anything at the moment as the whole house is undoing redecoration and quite a few changes. Can't to be all up straight again so that I can start making things again.
