This is what I got from my swap partner sheyd1: 4 fat quarters a felt ball stick pin, a vintage mannequin needle book, a card full of trims and homemade stick pins that look like daisy's. I will try to take a picture of these when I get a better camera.

This is a picture of my broken teapot. I collect them, this is a result of harsh hand handling delicate items. It was sent insured so hopefully I will buy another one soon.

I love the feel of new pens and I cherish the broken in smoothness of an old pen.

Writing instruments are important, it gives us the ability to express ourselves.

That is why I started the pen swap at swap-bot.com.

Weave-It

Wow, I just love this little weave, thing-a-ma-jig!

Follow the link for more info about this wonderful vintage Weave-it that was found in a thrift store for 99 cents.

Maybe I can make one with wood and some very small dowels or nails. And maybe I can coat the nails with some kind of protectant so it wont get snagged.

Another great find for a dollar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vintage Tea House

Vintage Tea House, originally uploaded by namolio.

This is a photo from my swap partner Namolio. I got it while browsing through her photos. It was taken with a mobile phone camera. Nice, isn't it. I must ask what type of camera phone takes a good picture like this!.

Anyway enough of my incessant ramblings.

Pink and green goodness. I love the teapot, the tea cup and saucer and the pink and green polka dots. Lovely, Lovely, Lovely.

I would be so relaxed, sipping tea in a cute dainty cup, with a linen napkin in my lap. Let's not forget yummy biscuits sprinkled with vanilla sugar. Or a simple yellow cupcake with orange scented vanilla frosting.

Ciao!
