Hosted by the effervescent Jenny at Everyday Is A Holiday (see my sidebar to link to Jenny's web journal), I participated in a vintage kitchen swap! My swap partner is the wonderful Julie of Jane's Apron (see her on my sidebar too--you'll love her retro whimsical style as much as I do!). Today I received an adorable box of goodies from Miss Julie and I couldn't be more thrilled!
Harking to a soft palette of aqua, pink, and yellow, Julie used her practiced eye to assemble a delightful array of fun and very useful items that I will cherish! How could she know that I LOVE the vintage cornflower design on the plate, desert plate, and bowl? I do! In fact I have a platter of the same design!
Julie genrously treated me to a pack of her very pretty notecards too! I will use the pastel cups not for drinnking but for storage in my office--vintage millinery flower stems will look right at home in them! And the glass oil dropper bottle will house some mica glitter perfect for sprinkling on my altered art collages!
Julie included a tablecloth of the sweetest pastel wildflowers which will look lovely this spring! The sweet pot holder in pink and yellow reminds me of a beret! And the cutie pie aqua gingham apron will come in very handy!
I can't thank Julie enough for such a wonderful experience in my first swap! I am eagerly awaiting another! Be sure to check out Julie's blog and her etsy site at Jane's Apron!
