Vintage reigns ..yay

This is a vintage spoon and lace bundle that I bought on etsy, from the seller CapeCodCupboard. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and had to buy it, I was lucky as it was also on offer.

Well today the postman bought me this little package and inside....my etsy buy, a very quick easy international transaction, will definately reuse this polite corteous seller.

Isn't it just beautiful ......to actually have and hold in your own hands is a different thing than seeing it in the photo.

Something made by hand comes from the heart.....so support these artists.....if you like something they have done show your appreciation and buy something.....I know they appreciate it very much

Shabby Chic Matchbox swap.

LOOK.... what I've got......beautiful, isn't it?

This was from my partner Ginney of Twinkle Pink for the Shabby Chic matchbox swap that Natasha organised. I was admiring this matchbox on the swaps flickr group...so aren't I the lucky one.

The outside of the box Ginney used vintage paper and a lovely ballerina fairy...just gorgeous

and this is what was inside the box...............all these wonderful vintage items.

Thanx Ginney you made this a wonderful swap you were a perfect partner.

Also thanx to Natash for organising this....otherwise I would never have received these beautiful itmes.
