Jar Swap

Several weeks ago I participated in a "jar swap" hosted by Michele at Something Special.  My swap partner was Oliva at Oliva's Creative Quest.  Here's a peek at the jars we made for each other.

This is the jar Oliva sent to me.  Look how pretty she decorated the lid.  I love the pink rose and the hatpin...and the colors are perfect for Spring time!

This sweet little bird is my favorite new treasure...it has a beautiful tarnished silver look and the cutest little face.  More springy colors....purple ribbon and a purple yoyo. I see a hair bow or two in the future.  Charlotte and Penelope will love that!  The gold foil hearts will add just the right touch to a paper project I'm working on right now.

Oliva included so many bits and pieces that I can use as I create.  String, pretty pictures, buttons and more.  I love the little screw with the crystal end. 

More goodies to create with....pretty roses and sheet music. Love the butterfly she glittered up for me.  I think I have the "winning" ticket too!

Next to my precious little bird....the pink flower above is my favorite.  It's just a little thing...see it down by the birdy's feet.  It's so full and fluffy...I'm going to try and make some of these for sure.   Thank you Oliva....I loved it all!

Here's a peek at the jar I sent to her.  I decided to go with a neutral look....creamy vintage lace, with a little bit of bling.

I tucked in some of my favorite things....hoping they'd be Oliva's as well.  I'm very happy to say that she loves her little walnut pincushion!  I love the photo of the peek "inside" the jar.....I think it looks so neat with the lace showing through.  Love the pink chicks too....it just needed a pop of color!

Thanks again to Michele at Something Special for hosting this fun swap!

It was great fun!!
