Have you ever been out shopping and found something that reminded you of another blogger? And you thought, “I know (insert blog buddy name here) would love this?” Well, I have and so has Lakota. So, she organized the Faith Hope & Charity Swap.
She partnered us up and sent us off shopping! I was partnered up with Cassandra at Sleeping or Sewing. And I’m so glad I was! I came home Sunday night from my weekend getaway to find a box of goodies!
The guidelines were: $20 spending limit, minimum 3 items – maximum 5 items, at least 1 item had to be thrifted, 1 item had to be handmade, and there had to be 1 piece of jewelry.
Thrifted Pieces
Handmade
Jewelry
I absolutely love everything!
Thanks Cassandra!
And thanks Lakota for organizing the swap!
So, you’re probably wondering what I sent Cassandra. The answer is nothing…yet! I’m the most indecisive gift buyer. You should see me Christmas shopping – it takes me FOR-EV-ER! Anyway, the clock is tickin’ and the package must in Cassandra’s hands by July 31st. Time to hit the thrift stores and make a decision!
Yay!!! I'm sooo glad you love everything. I'll admit the jewelry was the hardest part to decide on, but once I spotted that piece I thought it would be ideal since it's also a brooch (maybe it could be used as a decorational accent).
ReplyDeleteOh the cup...it reminded me of your tray project, and the frames well it look like you have a thing for frames, plus the style looked similar to a mirror you previous posted. ;-)
Sam, count me in if you decide to host a Blogger Gift Swap- I love this idea!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad the swap went well for you, Cassandra picked out some lovely things. I haven't sent mine out yet either, although I think I'm pretty much done. Will probably be doing a similar swap before Christmas, if you or anyone else fancies it. x
