Thank you to Sweet Natasha!

Awhile ago I noticed on Stephanie's blog that she was setting up a new swap called, "I thought of you." In this swap you are partnered up with someone and you swap items that make you think of them. I was lucky enough to get the adorable Aussi, Natasha as my swap partner.

I had so much fun putting together a box full of goodies for Natasha. We both love lots of the same things so it was pretty easy for me. You can see what I sent Natasha here.

On Saturday I received my package in the mail all the way from Australia. I was so excited and strangely enough so were my kids. I found out later why.

Here is what the box looked like when I opened it.

Inside those pink tissue paper packages were these goodies.

Lovely postcards of Natasha's ballgowns and a wonderful hand painted roses bookmark.

Cute little card boxes, vintage trim and velvety millinery rose.

Three of Natasha's adorable faux mini cupcakes. (My kids wanted to eat them, they looked that good!)


The most lovely vintage wallpaper ever! I have a couple projects in mind for these already.

Sweet little vintage glass buttons, brooches, buckles and sea shells. My favorite is that silver filigree butterfly. Will be a perfect addition to my butterfly brooch collection.

Gorgeous prints from Natasha's paintings. Ready for framing.

And finally...

Natasha painted this absolutely fabulous sign for me to use for shows and such. Isn't it so lovely! Painting beautiful roses is a talent I so wish I had, but unfortunately I'm just not artistic in that way. So glad I have good friends who are! Natasha also sent some yummy candy which my kids quickly devoured before I could take a picture. (They knew I sent Natasha's sweet boy, Leroy some goodies so that is why they were excited to see what was in my package.) She also sent me a little jar of Vegemite, which I have to admit, I'm a little nervous to try. I'll get my husband, who will eat anything, to try it first.ha ha

A million thanks to sweet Natasha. I love everything she sent to me. This was such a fun swap to be part of. I'll have to keep my eyes open for more in the future.

I have more fun vintage finds to show you later this week so come on back. Happy Monday!
