Random Swap Round 2 Gallery

[melissa!]

I'm finally posting the pics of what thanate sent me. By finally I mean it took over 2.5 hours to get these horrible low-res pictures taken inside because it's been pouring down rain for 3 days, onto my computer to put them up here. (Thanate if you have better pics by all means post them please. ) So without further complaints here's the truly random stuff I received from thanate.


Earrings and foam letters

Jello cookbook (was sent jokingly but it's perfect for my families kitschmas party) crochet magazines, scarf pattern, two of her favorite books, and b&w pics (which I adore, especially the largest picture of a snowmobile from the twenties with a totally decked out lady of the twenties )

Random charm bracelet (I especially love the key charm)

yarn ends, book sock, two orange pails, 1/2 yard orange fleece, stickers, sequins, pencil, beads, two kinder toys, and orange magic gloves for layering

crochet hook roll with emergency set of hooks (I've already got this in my purse, it's perfect for dragging my stuff to work)

scarf, I LOVE the purple yarn so much!

the crochet hook roll all rolled up, and a crochet flower to sew onto something

3 reusable tea bags and lots of high quality tea (chocolate mint tea? sounds very interesting... and smells like candy lol)

vintage ring that I adore, it's stretchy so I can wear it on any finger comfortably

beautiful faux wood grain and leaf necklace (I LOVE the wood grain charm! It's so nice!)

and my very favorite for last, I can barely stand to take them off

!!!!!! Purple and orange, elbow high convertible mittens, with cable knitting! I LOVE them, they're so soft and they fit like a glove (muahahahaha )  Seriously love them.
Thank you so much thanate! I love the incredibly random stuff I received! (and I hope I got everything into the pics).

More cool packages. I love the throw pillow covers. I also really like the elbow length mittens!

[thanate]

I'm so glad to see the mittens fit well!  I was a little worried about it, since I was just working from measurements, and my hands are about a lot smaller.  Also, the wood grain charms are actually pencil on shrink plastic, which I continue to be impressed with how nicely it turns out, and the felted balls in the earrings were some of my needle-felting experiments.    (If there's anything missing, I don't remember what it is, either...)

Glad you liked everything!

I received from Beeker, look at all this stuff!


magnets, clay pendants, cane leaf beads, and some tins (I like the leaf beads best)


Handcarved heart-tree stamp, and cards! I love both of these!


Leaf stamps


A woodburned gourd trinket box!  This is so cool


And a gourd bird house!


Alpaca mini batt sampler, with some extra fibers, beeker knows the way to my heart!


And my favorite, a glass pendant necklace, I can't wait to wear this.

Thanks so much beeker, I hope my package compares!

That necklace is incredibly beautiful, and the gourd trinket box is just way too clever.

Holy smokes!  I try not to check swap galleries till I've sent, because I get enough swap anxiety without seeing all the awesomeness that people have already received.  What an amazingly random bunch of stuff!  Love the argyle sock monkey and matching necklace, all the fabrics everyone used, the purple and orange mittens (I love crazy clashing color combinations),  all the owl stuff...I pretty much love everything people got, and now I am anxious for my package to get to my partner.  It's pretty random.  I hope she thinks it's as fabulous as all this stuff is!

Absolutely goregous. That tree heart stamp is fantastic - I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with that! Cards, fabric, walls...thinking of all the things I'd like to print with it .

Oh Edie there was a bag in there as well. I took a picture of it I guess it just missed the posting part I am going to use it as a produce bag because you can still see through it which I love!
