Vintage Valentine Swap Pt. 2

February 14, 2010 at 1:02 am by Claudia


Hello everyone! Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you the wonderful treats Meri sent me as part of Dolly’s swap. To see what I sent her you can go to Meri’s blog, ImagiMeri’s Creations and/or you can also visit this post on my blog.

I want to thank Dolly for hosting this fun swap. I loved the chance to get to know Meri. We have a lot in common. I swooned when I opened my package and saw this:


I don’t know if you can tell but the red surface is velveteen and so beautiful. Look how Meri decorated it!

I am crazy about this heart! I opened it and saw this:

I’m going to show you everything that was in this package.



Vintage fabric!






Meri made this gorgeous card. She said I could give it to someone…but I’m keeping it for myself! Selfish, maybe, but it is so lovely! Meri knows I love trims, lace, aqua, pink, red and you can see she really found the perfect things for me. I’m going to have such fun with all of this. Thank you, Meri!

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone and especially to my dear husband, the love of my life.

    Hi Claudia:
    Handsome gave me a chocolate-filled valentine like this last year. I’m working on embellishing it with silk ribbon roses now. They’re such pretty boxes, it’s impossible to toss them! (I mean, really! Who could throw them away? Not I!)
    Happy Valentine’s Day…
    xoxo

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
