Good evening
Thought it about time I shared with you the lovely parcel that was waiting for me when I got back from Cambridge last weekend. It was my Vintage Easter Swap parcel - this was organised by LissyLou back at the beginning of the year. I was partnered with the lovely Twinkles, Tutorials and Twirls.
After exchanging emails and stalking each others blogs the time came to post parcels.
Here's what I received;
Lots of pretty parcels in birdy paper
Inside were;
2 Easter decorations which are now hanging on my dresser and the most gorgeous bird house with its one bird - I love this - it is so very me :)
A vintage style tin with chocolate bunnies inside, mini eggs, a bunny egg cozy and an easter bunny of my own.
And there more - some spring bunting and a pretty posy containing new sewing needles :)
Last but not least - a lovely easter book and a pretty card too.
Thank you Twinkle very much for my parcel, I love it all and will think about you each easter when the items come out. My dresser is looking very seasonal at the moment, thanks to you :)
Here's what I sent;
A Tilda easter bunny - just wish I'd had time to make more of these - I know my little nieces would have loved one each too - perhaps next year.
A jar with a crocheted cover containing mini eggs, a vintage Laura Ashley spring fabric heart, vintage spring themed napkins, spring buttons & brooch and a very Jemima Puddleduck egg cup.
I think that's me all swapped & PIF'd up-to-date :) I've even finished the birthday pressies I need for S&B group. I think the next items that come off my sewing machine will be for me - I've 2 lots of fabric waiting to be turned into dresses for me plus a great CS find frock which needs altering so its less Granny-chic and more veryVicki ;)
Right I'd best be off - my workers have just called to say they are on their way home from a busy day in the warehouse!!

I'm so glad you liked your swap goodies, I really love mine - especially the Tilda bunny, she is gorgeous! I will post about the swap soon, I'm a bit behind with my posts, oops! Have a fab day Vicki x
Looking at those two lovely parcels really makes me miss doing swaps! They are both so lovely! (I am a terrible swap partner, so had to give up!)
Happy Easter!
