Pink & Green Swap Is In

Ah, the Mail Gods have been smiling down on my this week. Yesterday I arrived home from the doctor's with DH and DS (Bronchitis has reared it's ugly head once again)to find a hefty box of goodies on my doorstep. This was the Pink & Green Spring Fling Swap hosted by Rebecca and Lucy at Sweet Goodness Swaps. For anyone that wasn't included in this swap - here are the details. One item handmade, one item thrifted, all items pink and green and one item to stand for the letters "S-P-R-I-N-G". Got that?

My swap partner was http://simplygigidesigns.blogspot.com/index.html. Be sure to look at the pictures of her craft room. Wouldn't we all like want one of those?????

A lovely box chock full of swappin' goodies.


I got lots of fun goodies including a huge stack of vintage 1950's crafting booklets. There is even one with directions for making furniture out of egg crates. Okay..... They will be fun to peruse down the line. I got a pedicure set, bath salts, scrubbies, rubber stamps, Jolee's flower stickers, a luggage tag, wooden letters, a notepad, little paper sacks, a storge bin, a metal pail and a CD box. Everything was all packaged up and wrapped with lots of pretty pink and green ribbons. The pink and black woven ribbon pillow is the thrifted item.



S-String tags for a next yard Sale (I needed these!)
P-Pink Trowel
R-Rake
I-A wooden letter "I".
N-Notecards
G-Green Frame



I love these little strawberry boxes. Oh, what to put in them.....


Here is the handmade item - some of Jen's fancy handmade cards complete with a folder to put them in. So perfectly made. Thanks, Jen!



Here's what I sent her:

Pink and Green Shoes, of course.

Not sure if this will fit - Size 8 Liz Claiborne - but check out the serious Pink and Green Spring Theme. And it was thrifted and it was only a mere $1.00. It just had to be included!

I love this sweet little pink retro lawnchair. It is a photo frame, but I have one and I made a little cushion for it to just sit out as a chair. I have a collection of little chairs. (Collection Number 1,001). This is from the Dollar Tree - Shhhhh.

I had a comment from Lee-Ann on my Cookery Swap post - the little shovel spoon is for Jam and the salt shaker is a salt shaker - but is an old salt shaker - the new ones look like ours. And the best news - I spelled doiley correctly!
