Swaps And Buys ...

I recently met Lynn of The Rose Cottage

On Etsy Cottage Style ning site . She is the founder of this site ,

and we have got to know each other , over the past few weeks .

We chatted about doing a small swap together , as i saw

she had found some gorgeous playing cards that i

was interested in , and here`s my

package of goodies that arrived from Canada !

The cards , vintage seam binding and buttons !

There are some glass ones included , faux antique keys ,

german scrap diecuts .

These will look great in collage work , as i am

always on the lookout for unusual playing cards ,

but never seem to come across any !

So thank you so much Lynn !

I love them all , and you were very generous

with my goodies ! ;o)

Another creative woman i`ve recently found

is Gail of Shabby Cottage Studio

Many of you may know her already , as an

established artist , creating blog head banners ,

digital collage sheets and so much more . She is a

warm , wonderfully creative woman , and has many

items in her shop that i`ve admired .

So , when i saw these sweet cute birds - i

HAD to buy some !!

They are tiny feathered birds on a stem -

which i had not seen in this small size , and

me loving all things feathered , have some of these

now - so i can get creating something with them !

Thankyou Gail so much !!

You have another happy customer here ,

I will definately be a return customer of yours !
