It was a delight to receive my decorated matchbox from my partner, Oliva (check out her blog), in the Vintage Dragonfly "Partner's Choice" swap on Flicker. Talk about sugar sweetness! What a beautiful box filled with such pretty things!
She did a wonderful job decorating it in colors I love and filling it with beautiful creative bits including some gorgeous beads, a vintage earring, a pretty shimmery doily, and a little crystal drawer pull (I think my favorite thing!)--just to name a few.
She also included some lovely earrings. Every thing was wrapped so nicely.
Don't you just like all the pink? Thank you SO much, Oliva!

Matchbox Swap--to My Partner
Well, this promises to be a hot weekend here in Wisconsin. It has been very dry lately, so hopefully the storms the weatherman says will come will indeed come. However....hopefully only during the evening/night. Tomorrow is the start of a city-wide garage sale hop at one of my favorite local towns, and Saturday morning Mom and I are planning on going to the Princeton flea market. Yes, the flea market is every Saturday...BUT the holiday weekends are supposed to be the best. Hopefully neither will get rained out despite needing the rain!
Thought I show the matchbox I created for Karla in the Vintage Dragonfly's "Partner's Choice" altered matchbox swap. Mine hasn't arrived yet (it isn't coming from Karla but from someone different), but I'm sure it will in time. ; ) Each person was to list what they liked--themes, colors, styles, etc., then we were to alter a matchbox and fill it with things that they especially would want. I made Karla a box with an aqua, beachy theme complete with glitter "sand", sea glass, jewelry shells, and a shell button drawer pull. I didn't take a picture of the contents...but it had plenty of bits and pieces and blings. Karla is just the nicest person...she told me she was married at a lighthouse. Now, how romantic is that? Hop over to her blog when you get a moment and get to know her.
