How in the world can two girls, one so far north, another in the south, be such kindred spirits??! My swap partner in Heather of Pretty Petals Boutique's "Junque in My Trunk Swap" was Alice of Romantic Thoughts. I visit her blog and just get lost in the absolute beauty of it all. Heather, you must have known how much we truly have in common in our taste!! We even bought each other the exact same box to pack the treasures in!!!! Look at how she wrapped this precious gift to me:
Her handmade card ~ knowing that I love birds and nests!
A gorgeous initial "D" held by a precious bird ~
Just feast your eyes on the bounty!!!
Look how gorgeous these rolls of vintage papers are!
Look at all the wonderful trinkets and treasures!
Alice knew I love old papers and photographs ~
Doesn't he look like a little fairy jumping into the rainwater gathered in the flower??
Dear Alice, thank you so very much for each and every thing. I love it all so!!!! You really took the time to gather items that you knew I'd love! ~
Heather, thank you for pairing us together as partners. I know you took the time to see how much we have in common with our tastes!!!
I hope you don't mind all of the photos, but you are my sweet friends and I love to share with you!
xxoo, Dawn

You could never post too many photo's. I always love looking at your posts and seeing all the pretty things you show. Everything you received is so you. Can't wait to see what you create with your new treasures.
Personally my favorite thing was the tags. Simple and so elegant. Lucky you all thse goodies.

You are soooo sweet! And you certainly made the little things look lovely in your photos...by far not enough compared to the bounty you gave me, however!!!! I really do mean that!!! So please do enjoy your "supplement" coming in a few days...hehe....
I will be posting my blog about your box today!! And I did think it was the most amazing thing when I opened the gorgeous toile fabric to see the same box!!! (and those fleur-de-lis...kindred spirits indeed!) but you used the bigger one!!!! You are way too kind!!! So just enjoy the new items coming as a gift for you kindness and generosity! I am so glad we found each other this way! If I am ever down south I am heading your way...lol!!!
