Even better than I had hoped...



 My Swap gift from my vintage swapping partner Heather came in the mail the other day.  Tomorrow I will be posting my pictures of what I sent to Heather, but today I wanted to share the beauty and thought that she put into my package.



I was overwhelmed with the smorgasbord.


(Do you see those knitting needles, size 10......I love.)



And I can't even bring myself to mail these cards to anyone.... I am so smitten with them.

I think I might frame them in teeny frames and hang them in my sewing room.



Fun and fabulous stuff, I tell you.



Like this pretty pillowcase and a few yards of gorgeous floral fabric....fabric that I can't wait to have my twin turn into some more fabulous dresses for ETSY.



I have been trying to decide what to do with all of the goodness that filled the priority mail box.



And today, I figured it out....

I used some of the pretty blue flannel to embellish a few flour sack cloth hand towels.  They match my kitchen to perfection.



See, even Gracie can't keep her eyes off of them. ( couldn't you just eat that little orange toe?)

So, Thank you Heather, I am so happy to have been paired with you.
