"time for tea swap"

here is what i sent to my swap partner Kat

a tiny pincuchion - recycled from a dolls teacup
decoupaged with old dress pattern paper
and a phrase cut from a Shakespeare play!

"hello"

one of my beloved PG Tips monkeys
altered into a "princess"
complete with tea-ara
{ssshh that's Dp's joke but i'm passing it off as my own!}

mad hatter's tea party brooch

close up of the little pin cushion
i did secure it a bit better before i sent it
but forgot to take more photos
also if Kat is in the mood for vodoo she could use
the whole monkey as a pin cushion!

and lastly here is the card i made to go with the package

********

this was a very recycled kind of swap project
i bought nothing new to make my items with
and happily used my stash of thrifted and vintage trims & books
even the tea cup and tiny spoon were toys my daughter has outgrown

*******

there is a flickr group with all the other participents swap goods too
for some bizarre reason i can't seem to add links on my blog anymore???
if you go into my flickr you will find the group though!

a big thank-you to Blottedcopybook for organising this swap xxx

time for tea swap

i got my package from Kat today
and what i fantastic package it was too
jam packed with lovely stuff

my son kindly modelling my fancy new apron
please ignore the chocolate smears on his face
he insisted on helping me test the jaffa-cakes!

a tea-bag wallet

and a really cute wrist purse

i really loved everthing Kat sent me
& even though i am a PG Tips girl at heart
i've already had a cup of fruity tea 'cause it smelt SOOOOO yummy in the wallet!
and i can confirm it was indeed yummy!
