Yeah!! I was so excited when I received this box today in the mail!! I participated in the Sweet Liberty Swap hosted by Amy from Bumble Bee Lane . Amy is hosting another swap now, this one is called the Bee Happy swap. Go on over to check it out. ~ you can find Amy here~ http://bumblebeelanecottage.blogspot.com/
I was so blessed to be paired with Becky from Ginger Crème Hollow. If you haven’t met Becky, go on over and say hi!! She has been creating and selling her creations for over 20 years.You can find her here~ http://becky-gingercremehollow.blogspot.com/
Becky sent me the cutest creations…all items were wrapped so nice in the prettiest tissue.
Look at all of those goodies!!
Now I have to confess…. I haven’t put away all of my Easter goodies yet, so I need to do that to make room for (more) things. For now I have found them a temporary home. The sheep, did I tell you I love sheep?? Well anyway he has made a home in this cabinet for now. He has a star on him and a little bell around his collar. And of course, he is red white and blue and weighted in the bottom. I don’t think he is going anywhere. SO CUTE!!
The adorable pillow has been moved, for now, to the guest room rocking chair. It just seemed to fit right in.
The rusty star found a home on my Apple Picking ladder along with an American quilt and another twig star.
This adorable birdhouse that Becky put together and painted, along with the help of her hubby, found it’s way to the top shelf next to a favorite crock filled with greens.
I absolutely love this!!
Oh my!! And when I opened the box, this was on the top!! A crow with a strawberry in his mouth, perched on a pedestal!! (Anybody that knows me, knows that I love crow’s anytime of the year.)Becky made this and it is so awesome. He looks so happy up on top of this cabinet with the other crow’s.
Also in the top of the box was this simple but so sweet hand made star. Becky does the nicest work. I love the color of the material don’t you???!! For now it is resting on the knob of this cabinet in the living room.
And that’s not it….she also included two wonderfully smelling tarts as well, in spice and cinnamon. MMMMMM heavenly!!
Thank you again Becky for the wonderful goodies and for the friendship! I truly feel blessed!
