Vintage Swap - Look what came in the post!

After a very busy week I finally got around to collecting my Vintage Swap parcel from the sorting office. My swap partner is Debbie from VintageWantsNotNeeds and all that I had specified was my love of the colour green.
So here are the goodies that Debbie sent me :-
A little magnet that is now living on my fridge ...


Some vintage tags, a sepia photo and acrylic beads (green obviously) ...

A green floral brooch on a vintage postcard ...

A tin full of lace, fabric and buttons, this is an old Huntley and Palmer's tin ...

























And last but not least some foam shrimps (since stolen and scoffed by daughter)!
This is such a thoughtful collection of things, I will wear the brooch, i'll use the tags and the tin will be used to hold all my ribbon and lace from now on. I hope i've done as good a job with my swap collection for Debbie. And I hope I get to do this sort of swap again, it's been so much fun.
