I am doing one post for two meme’s..stay with me here, I have never done this before! So Pink Saturday and FALL FINDINGS, here it is!
First, I participated in an awesome swap called Fall Findings, hosted by Karen at Some Days are Diamonds. We were to take a cigar box and ‘FALL’ it up..I was so excited to wrap mine up and get it sent I forgot to take pictures DUH, but I hope my partner Diane at Nellie's Nest enjoys what I put together..that said, I received a beautiful decorated cigar box from Sherry at Blessings from our Nest. OH MY. I opened each and every thing carefully, getting a pressie in the mail to me is heaven and to be enjoyed slowly and carefully. I did remember to take a few pictures of my treasures from Sherry
Quite a stash, would you not agree?!
buttons, tags, a gorgeous hang tag, some beautiful fall leaves, a cute little leaf shaped dish with the cutest bird filled with Washington State acorns, a pumpkin candle, black ric rac, two little stuffed pumpkins, some old blue thread, a lovely paperweight, two lovely table runners, one is on my coffee table, perfect! Last but not least, a yard of the prettiest fall fabric since Sherry knows I sew. I was so thrilled!
And the nicest card from Sherry. Sherry, thank you so much and I am so glad you were given me as your swap partner! I will always treasure my goodies..
I am also linking this to Pink Saturday. Be sure to visit our sweet hostess Beverly at How Sweet the Sound who works so hard at putting our Pink Saturday’s together each week. Please visit some of my pink sistas. And since this is the last weekend in October a last reminder that this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you are late or in need of a mammogram, please get it! I have an appt to see my doctor at the end of November and will get my mammogram shortly after..
Have a wonderful week!
