Sweet eye candy!

Hello everybody!

Een tijdje geleden vroeg Andrea Tarling van Vintage Bella Studio mij om een persoonlijke swap met haar te doen. Nou prima! In deze post laat ik jullie zien wat voor heerlijke vintage dingen zij mij stuurde. De afspraak die wij maakten was: we sturen elkaar een versierde doos met vintage dingen en een zelfgemaakt iets. Kijk gezellig even mee:

A little while ago my blogging pal Andrea Tarling of Vintage Bella Studio and I agreed to have a little swap. It would be a junque in your trunk inspired swap, a swap originally hosted by Heather of Pretty Petals in Spring 2008. Just put a lot of vintage items and a crafted item in a decorated box. Look what talented Andrea sent me:

As I opened the box the sweet tissue papers were smiling at me, over here I can only get white. So the packaging already was a hit to me!


And this is the 'trunk' Andrea made me; beautiful vintage wallpaper, vintage crepe and seam binding, to good to open, which I eventually ;-) did...I couldn't help myself:


The box was filled with all fun vintage goodies, that are hard to find here, as the vintage leaves on top of the box.


Here is a photo of the loot, but let's see some details;
you can click on the photos, as usual.


Shadow box designed and made by Andrea.
The photo doesn't do it justice, so lovely. It is in now my little studio of course.


A sweet ornament foofed up by Andrea with millinery flowers and vintage seam binding.


Is this eye candy or what? Look at this lovely pincushion Andrea made me.


Just look at those colors! See the wallpaper scraps and the tag Andrea has made me, yummy!


Of course Andrea knows that a girl has never enough ribbons, nor millinery flowers!


Yeah, yeah, I just said that!


Andrea made several pieces of ruffled crepe paper and some strips of vintage wallpaper tags, so beautiful!


And of course I love love love this beautiful antique pitcher. And the vintage napkins, one of them in the upper right corner.

This was so much fun Andrea, thanks a million!
Next time I'll show you what I sent Andrea.

It's swapping time again:
Last time I already told you that Stephenie of Just a little bit pink is hosting a swap; I thought of you.
My partner is the lovely Kitty of Reflections from the stone nest. Kitty is one of the most friendly people in blogland and on top of that she has an exquisite taste. Whenever I swap I always have a 'doubting' period, when everything is in that package on the plane already. I don't know, it's just my nature.
Anyhow; take a little peek in Kitty's box:


Just wait and see in a couple of posts, there is Natasha's revamp party on Friday too, what is inside. In the mean time, take care, enjoy yourselves and create some lovelies!
