Swap happy!

It's here! My Red and Aqua Swap partner sent the coolest box of stuff!

This box of red and aqua loveliness arrived a couple of days ago, and I vowed to resist the temptation to open it until I had boxed up and sent off my own swap goodies. I was under the impression that we were swapping one on one, that since I was sending a box to Denmark, that's where it would come from. So when this one from Idaho came, I was completely thrown off!

Anyhoo... these goodies are from the fabulous Jamie, who is a wonderfully talented purse and assessories designer. Visit her Etsy shop here. I love everything she chose for me! And she made this adorable clutch just for me:

It is gorgeous! And there's jewelry...

And a fabulous vintage apron! It appears everyone on the internet has a bazillion vintage aprons, and me with just my plain old one. But now I have the cutest little red number:

And the sweetest little verdigris bud vase. The only thing blooming around here that is red is the impatiens, so that will have to do:

And even more stuff:

Thank you SO MUCH Jamie!!! I am as happy as a kid in a candy store...

Cheers,

Jenny

Shuffle off to buffalo

Hello my little chickadees. Greetings from the land of the buffalos. And also adios for a while while I do lots more of this sort of thing:

That's Bob the Buffalo, the central character in the huge assignment I'm working on. It's a fantastic project and I'm loving it, but it is leaving little time for much else  So I will be on blogging hiatus for a few weeks while I get this thing wrapped up. I haven't even actually counted the total number of pieces I have yet to do, I'm afraid I would pass out! 

Wish me luck in getting the thing done and on time. I'll still try to keep up with reading your blogs, I can't bear the idea of getting too far out of touch!

Later gators,
Jenny
