    I should add that I like the matching PC & NC, too.

    Also, the surprise factor is fun, but I know the work that goes into partnering people! Just saying.

    I have to agree with this that everything is so nice. The doilies are a special idea.

    I am delighted to share with everyone my absolutely lovely pincushion and needlecase swap from Omee5. She did such a wonderful job and made everything so special. I believe this is her first time swapping in the PC/NC swap and she positively SHINES!

    Larkspur Seeds from her own Garden (An Idea I adore!), Zinnia Seeds, and THREE gorgeous Hand Kerchiefs

    A close up of the two most delicate handkerchiefs, she wrote that these three were given to her by a dear friend and I am so touched that she would share them with me. This swap is made up of gifts that I will treasure always.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, Doris. If your intent was to make me feel special you have outdone yourself. <3<3

    What a great swap Deb received from Doris. Beautiful work! The seeds are an extra special addition. I wish I had a place to plant seeds but can't where I live. No place to plant them. They would probably die on my anyway. I am no good with plants.

    Deb that is a wonderful package you received from Omee5. Omee5 for this to be your first time making these you sure did a great job. It looks like you have been making them for years. I love the beautiful fabric in all the items. Those handkerchiefs are so pretty. Deb what a nice thing getting those seeds from her garden too. I received some herbs that way from a member on the board, and have them growing everywhere now. Around where I live we have plant and seed exchanges a few times per year where many people meet.

    Everyone has such nice packages.

    Deb -- lucky girl! That is an amazing package! Love the handmade items & the fabric omee5 chose. The vintage hankies are a wonderful gift, as are the seeds from her garden. They are all very special gifts, for sure, & you deserve every one of them, Deb!
