Deb over at Works in Progress organised a cool swop, especially for a tin-lover like me.
The idea was to find a cool tin and fill it with something op-shopped, something handmade, crafty, sweet etc.
I was paired up with Alexa from Stitchy-Mama who, despite being quite busy giving birth mid tin swop, still managed to rustle up a great tin and contents for me!
Biscuit cutters for my collection (I don't have either of these!)
Feathers for my headband makings
Teeny-tiny origami stars
And a little book...
A retro kids book about a little mouse who grows fruit
Spookily, this arrived as we returned from a berry farm where we'd gone for high tea and lost Clauds little maileg mouse-how funny is that! And the book did a beautiful job of molifying her until said mouse could be search and rescued the following day!
And the most amazing bunting...
Handpainted cherry blossom on handmade bunting.
So beautiful!
Thanks so much Alexa, I love it all x
