Rosette Swap Party

Hi!

So,  it's finally time to share the items I

made & received from the Gypsy Brocante Rosette Swap.

For Missy,  I made the following:

a apron using a vintage table runner

 
Love the stitching!  Wish it was my work, but it's not.

I read on Missy's blog that she is a fan of stitching...

so, I knew this vintage table runner would be perfect for her.

I used a vintage doily to create the pocket

and stuffed it with lil' things I thought Missy would like,

pink lace, buttons, millinery, & vintage pin up post card.

 
  Missy is a runner!  (something I need to become)  :)

so,  I figured she probably needed a cute little headband

to wear on the days she goes for a run...

 
So, I whipped this is up.

It's nothing fancy...  just a thin piece of fabric

 
 long enough to tie behind her neck.

I love the way the rosette came together.

It's kind of a messy, tattered look...  but I think its adorable.

And finally,   a handmade rosette "pin" that she can attach

to a headband or pin to a sweater.

Hers was similar to this one...  but pink in color.

I forgot to photograph it before

sealing up the package!   oops!  :)

And I received some very nice gifts from Jennifer.

Unfortunately, a spunky little 15 year old

who looooves to "use my things" has MISPLACED

my camera.    eeek!!!!

So, I have no photos.  Double Eeek!

Can you guess which Twin I am speaking of???

Maybe Jennifer will post some pics & I can "borrow" them. :)

But I received a very nice typed letter & lots of goodies.

My package included:  a hanging metal container with a lovely

black & white silhouette of children playing.  She attached a

beautiful pink rose to the upper left hand corner &  added a

touch of ribbon & a rhinestone brooch just under the silhouette. 

It's perfect for my craft room!
  
She also included a wooden cigar box that was stuffed with lots

of treasures:  fairy silhouette notecards, 2 hankies, lace,

a stran of aqua beads, seashells, a vintage birthday postcard,

and 3 mermaid cameos.  (the box was tied with a piece of

fabric & a pretty yellow rosette that she altered.

Thanks Jennifer!!!! I adore it all.  :)
