Coffee, coffee, coffee Swap! GALLERY of coffee goodness!

[Avesthel]

sorry I couldn't angel, no time or the right supplies for a decent package, I didn't want to do a bad job on something I take so seriously (coffee and swapping)

No worries!    I do appreciate you considering it.

Hey everyone!!! Here's everything I sent to my awesome partner, Javastain!


Everything together...


Polymer clay "coffee beans" stitch markers!


A polymer clay "coffee cup" charm that she can put on her jacket or anywhere to display her love for coffeeeee!


I didn't make these, but I've had them for a long time! I found them at a thrift store in Louisiana a couple years ago, so I sent some to Javastain. The inside says the When, Where, What's for a coffee party or gathering. I think they're really cute!


Black purse with a coffee cup, and embroidered steam!


And lastly, here's 2 teatowels that I embroidered from my favorite "Aunt Martha" patterns. I handwashed them in hot water (completely forgetting that they might shrink a little!) so they dried looking a little puckered At least my oven/stove got cleaned for this mini-photoshoot! LOL

Ok, I just did a double triple take, I coulda sworn I posted pics and a gushing review of my goodies... the photos are in my photobucket album and everything!!! I think I need to up my meds...
Anyway, this was a super package I received! I love everything! I am so torn about the towels, I LOVE LOVE LOVE them, and I worry about putting them in my kitchen... both MIL and hubby have a bad habit of grabbing the first thing they see (including good bath towels) when there's a spill... grrr... or a muddy dog... double grrr..... although I shouldn't complain too much because at least they are willing to clean right? Ah, I do need more meds...
Everything was so well done, vagina star, I really love the goodies. I can't wait to try the stitch markers, I have never used them before, and at first inspection I thought they would make fantastic earrings and a pendant!!! I might have to do that, make them removable, and that way I'll always have a stitch marker with me right?!?
And a girl can never have too many totes... I want to use this one as my take home bag, I get my free pound of coffee a week from work, and I always take a paper bag... now I have my coffee specific bag!!! YAY! thanks!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!

I'm glad you like everything, I tried to make most of the items that I made the first time I sent it but I didn't have some of the same stuff. I was so nervous that it wouldn't arrive and I'd have to send a third time!

Here's some pictures:


a coffee bean covered photo holder, a monster/coffee painting, a coffee cup sleeve and some coffee soap!


Some coffee bean napkins, some christmassy coasters, coffee scented candles, coffee lip balm, a coffee bean decorated incense holder and coffee scented incense. And (my favourite) Kicking Horse Coffee (http://kickinghorsecoffee.com/) my favourite coffee.


a coffee inspired beaded pendant and an embroidered touque!

I especially love your little paintings and the hat!!  What a clever adaptation of the tree of life--ha ha--

wow vaginastar!!  I am so glad you posted!!  It would have been a shame to miss all of the coffee goodies that javastain had received!  I remember that she mentioned them, but we never got pics!! YAY for you!!  Those tea towels are absolutely the best work...
