I have been a long time admirer of Anns creations
so I was beyond trilled that she wanted
to do a swap with me.
I love everything she does and her style
is just amazing.
This is how the package looked like
when I opened the box.
oooohhhhh... drooling..
so beautifully packed
with lovely seambinding, lace and
yummi silver tinsel.
I love those old books so pretty with
an old christmas decoration
and a beautiful bottlebrush tree.
We can´t get anything like that over here, so I´m so
happy for my little tree.
I saved all the silver tinsel in a tiny bag too.
Here´s a wonderful vintage pincushion.
The buttom is silver and inside little sewing notions.
Together with a beautiful old tin
decorated with lace and seambinding
and with a cabinet card on top.
This is the inside of the box.
I haven´t seen anything that pretty.
A tiny brooken mirror with an old photo in the lid
and there´s more....
when I removed the lace, this is what I saw.
All filled with the most yummi stuff.
Beautiful bling, vintage buttons, teeny tiny vintage
tags, old keys, tiny shoes...
the sweet little round box on the side
with the lady on top, is an old measuring tape
and
this....
One of Anns famous suitcase
pocket creations.
This is SO beautiful, filled with lace and trim.
It has the most wonderful pale blue color
underneath the lace.
Inside is tucket wonderful emphemera.
and if this wasn´t enough
Ann also gifted me with one of her
beautiful amazing cones.
Another little bootlebrush tree inside together
with a wonderful father christmas, a little
baby shoe, silver tinsel, lots of lace and
a sweet little lamb too.
I have been in love with Anns suitcase pockets
and her cones ever since I saw them on flickr
a long time ago
I feel so fortunate
to owe one of each now.
I LOVE everything Ann
Thank you SO much for creating
these amazing beauties for me.
Make sure to pop over and visit Ann at
and see her wonderful creations.
I can´t wait for her to list them in
her new Etsy Shop.
Wishing you all a beautiful day
Tina ♥♥♥

It is always so nice to visit the Tiny Bear Studio. The swap is lovely. You were one of my very first swap partners....I just love to swap. I remember vividly when the hostess 'Miss Speckled Egg' (Heather) asked if any of us would like to swap internationally. I jumped at the chance and I am so happy I did....I got to meet you! I would love to do a one on one swap with you any day!!!!

Oh Tina, how wonderful! What a beautiful package for you - and I know you would have sent an equally beautiful one back. I am intrigued by the bottle brush trees - I think I remember them from when I was very young but haven't seen any for many years! I'm going to check out Ann's blog now - thank you for the link!
Hi Tina,
what a wonderful swap!!So very beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely day.

Oh, Tina, truly you have received treasures! This is just the most beautiful and thoughtful of gifts. And I can see these little goodies going on your creations! The pillow and cone....oh my! No words! So gorgeous.
Hugs, Diane
Just wonderful,,,everything. Ann is a treasure, and so talented!
What a wonderful swap you had with Ann, dear Tina! I love everything she has sent you.
I still haven't taken down the Christmas decoration. Therefore I still look every day at your tags, the girl on the swing and the cone because I have used all those pretty things as tree decorations :-).
Big hugs to you,
Julia
What a great swap, Tina! Sooo many treasures!! Love them all!
