Yesterday I mentioned the bead swap organised by Sarah at My So Called Junky Life and revealed the Pretty Packaging that I made to parcel up my beads for Sarah. (Which, thanks to a certain Curly Scrapbooker, has quickly become a Pinterest favourite. Thanks Jo!)
Today, I'm able to show you the beautiful package that I received in return and, of course, the beads it contained. Since I was partnered with Sarah herself, I knew that I'd be in for a shabby chic treat and I was not disappointed. Just look at that ruffle and those gorgeous rhinestones! *swoon*
Inside, I found the cutest, little birds nests. I wasn't able to get a good photograph of them - because of their teeny-weenyness - but they're sure to be on show at some point! There was also a dinky bag filled with the most luscious beads - freshwater pearls, glass sparklers, rhinestones, cute charms and lovely findings. I'm a very lucky lady!
I haven't had chance to make anything with my new stash, but I'll be sure to share when I do. In the meantime, you might like to pop over to My So Called Junky Life to see photographs of the beads that I sent - because I'm a doofus and forgot to take photographs - and you'll also be able to find links to the other swap participants. I've found some fabulous new blogs to oogle!

OOOH look forward to seeing what you do with those lovely beads. Gorgeous matchbox gift wrap - great idea
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful box and beads!
ReplyDeletewhat a great collection of wonderful looking beads and pretty things - gorgeous.
ReplyDeletere: your comment on my blog. the little string of lights is a super cute mini USB string that plug into my computer. They never get put away because they are too cute! But I might have to go and raid the Christmas boxes for a few baubles though. This staging takes a bit more thought than I'm used to!
Here I am at last! Hello m'dear :) You already know I love your packaging and also love these beads, right? xx
