I can't believe I haven't had a moment to spare these last four days. Normally, my life just isn't this busy.
On Thursday we went North for a concert and stayed the night. Arriving home late Friday afternoon, I checked the mail and there was a parcel from Rachael, my matchbox swap partner. I was in such a hurry to check it out I didn't even bother to unpack first.
I opened the parcel and there was a beautiful handmade card using a flower fairy which are my favourite fairies. She chose the Kingcup for my initial.
The matchbox was wrapped in the prettiest pink paper with a beautiful rose sticker and lovely rose lace trim. Yummy!
A lovely decorated box adorned with rose needlepoint, ribbon beaded fringe, pink rick rack and a delicate rose fabric on the back and lining the box.
And then, all the wonderful treasures the little box contained. Vintage baby buttons, a silver glitter vintage bird, three pink crochet flowers, vintage lace tied with a ribbon rose, beautiful pink lace with bead fringe tied with a rhinestone button, and three rose cigarette cards. I have heard about these cards, but have never seen one before. And last a wonderful shabby rose, I have a project in mind already for the lovely rose.
