[mandykaye]

Great packages!!! Lots of new things and ideas!!! Now I'm having swap anxiety! 

[spazgirl1981]

How did you do the decorating Spazgirl? Are the letters and pictures painted onto fabric or sewn?

They are painted. I bought fabric paints and just went to town. I had so much fun painting them and sewing it together. I am planning to make one for myself as well.

Now... without further ado. I received from sugarsandwitch on Thursday and WOW everything was amazing and beautiful and I couldn't stop making squee noises. She sent me an order to open everything so I will post in that order as well. Bear with me, this is a big one.

A burning man to sacrifice in the litha fire.

Blessing/ Wish Balls...which I can not wait to use.

This beautiful foot jewelry for barefooting prettily. Please ignore my feet and just look at the pretty.

A little green shoulder bag and...

An apron style pocket bag, which I am going to love while gardening. Inside my pocket was

Whimsies!!



Next was this adorable bag

And inside was a faerie ring... these beautiful toadstools are sparkly and they glow. They are going right out under my favorite tree in the backyard.


After that came these two beautiful shell bowls.


And then these amazing spoon wands (also in the picture are some taper candles she included as extras)

And another extra...seashells. I love shells and this made my day.

I absolutely love everything and I'm sorry some of the photos are a little fuzzy. Thank you so so much sugarsandwitch for being such an amazing partner.

Okay guys, sorry it's taken me so long to tell all of you that I received my package. My internet decided to go down the day I received and it's still not back up yet

On the happy side, I received the most amazing package from Strawberryh on Firday!!! If she hadn't already received from me I would have had major swap anxiety. She completely spoiled me!

Got your wisting buttons ready?

We're going to start out with some really cool rings. I couldn't get a good picture of it, but the brown has a rose carved into it (which I uot on immediately) and the moonstone is charging on my altar right now. They all fit perfectly.


Next is an amazing moonstone necklace and bracelet set. The silver pieces have moon faces on them and she added a triple moon to the center of the necklace in honor of my patroness, Arianrhod.


Another beautiful necklace made from sparkly crystals with a blue goldstone (one of my favorites) centerpiece. The Tree of life is an Apple tree, which the Celts related to the land of rebirth, the realm of Arianrhod. That's why Avalon is known as the Isle of Apples


Now is some adorable faery bandaids, henna powder (which I had actually been planning on going out and buying myself) and zills! I'm a belly dancer, so these were perfect. Strawberry must either be one herself or know one, because they're double hole with sewn elastic, which is what I always use. I love the pattern around the edges


And last, my favorite item. She made me a journal! The cover is leater with a peacock feather on it! Peacocks are a totem of mine. The pages are hand sewn and I've already started writing in it (it's an oil BOS)



Thank you for being the most amazing partner ever, Strawberryh!!!!

I am so happy that you loved everything I am sorry that I didn't have any Henna cone paper but I think you can use freezer paper or wax paper. And make sure you have lemon Juice to keep it moist longer and really bring out the color. I can't believe that the rings all fit yay! I am a good stalker. You can see my first attempt at the Apple tree on My blog (now that you have received I can post it. FB friending make is so hard because you want to show off what you made but you don't want to ruin the surprise.

[Strawberryh]

Also Yes I hang out with Belly dancers One of my friends owns a Oriental school of dance. And I am glad you like the book I loved the Black cord on the blue leather with the Peacock feather in leather. I hope it stays put well I used a Fabric glue because it works so well on leather.

[Strawberryh]

I want to know what those toad stools are made out of did you do a separate post about them I Love Love Love them!

[sugarsandwitch]

I love the tree of life and the moonstone set.
Love the orange toes Spazgirl! Lol. Did that fit your foot ok? I can tell you how to change it if you need to. I am glad you like the shells, they are from our beach.
The toadies are just sculpey clay,scewers, paint and outdoor sealer. I have to make a set for me now, they were hard to send.
