After a difficult day at work, I arrived home this evening to a big box from Ellia Hill of Green Bean Baby...my swap partner for Storme's 2nd Annual Handmade Holiday Swap! My mood changed instantly. I opened up the box to find a whole assortment of beautifully wrapped and labeled packages. I thought about waiting until Christmas to open them...but that thought passed very quickly!
So, I tore into them with wild abandon. And what goodies I found!
There were some wonderful thrifted fabrics, some Christmas-related (including the background material in the photos) and some not, verrrry yummy dark chocolates (and yes, Ellia, dark chocolate is my favorite!)
, Warm Vanilla incense cones, a really lovely stationery set with flowers and birdies, a box with a great assortment of buttons and beads (and some itsy-bitsy doll eyes, how cute!)...and best of all, one of her cut paper illustrations.
I love it! I am simply amazed at the detail and use of texture and color, and most of all, it's just adorable!
I can't begin to thank you enough, Ellia! Such a great package, and very much worth the wait!
