Outrageous…..
Anyway, let’s gloss over that (again…)
So, I have actually been doing stuff. Like the “Thatlittlebitgreener” Green Swap.
Following are pics of what I was lucky enough to receive from Floss, my swap partner.
A lovely handmade postcard using old french maps and a fabric flower.
A set of my own fabric flowers.
A doorstop ( very handy when having windows open to stop slamming doors.)
My very French very lovely apron.
Some Fair Trade Vanilla pods, and a set of napkin rings.
4 lovely, French, fabric napkins, one seen here being used this morning for breakfast (honey and butter on toasted rolls)
Shamefully, I forgot to take photos of what I sent her but it went something like this: Green and blacks Chocolate – Peppermint ; Pincushion made of old shirts ; A string bag ; some locally produced hot banana chutney : a jar of buttons ; a jar of nutmegs ; and a handmade (very handmade) case containing handmade books, some pencils and recycled gift tags.
Aren’t we clever!!!

Beautiful! I’m glad you are back, I thought you’d fallen down a hole or something!

Oh, it’s good to see it in situ! Guess what – I forgot to take photos of what I sent you, too! When I post about yours, may I borrow your photos to just show what I sent, please?
We are loving the chutney, and have somehow not eaten the chocolate yet. It can’t last much longer, though!

Coming by from Floss’ to see the lovely things she sent over to you. What a fun swap. Nice apron. Love it.
You put together a great package for her. I’m inspired to make a pin cushion now with some left over fabrics.
