The Mother Load

It took one glance at Jennifer Casa's blog, JCasaHandmade, for me to realize that I was paired up with the best swap partner of all time. And it's true. She is the best swap partner ever. My only complaint is that she is terrible at following instructions! Instead of sending me 3-5 vintage items, Jennifer sent me the mother load of all swap packages with over twenty items. So. unbelievably. generous.

Check out the booty!

Not one...

green apron

not two...

apron three over apron four

Amazing.

This package arrived during a very difficult week and it absolutely made my day. I think karma decided to pay me back all at once for every swapper that has ever flaked on me. Thanks universe! I just kept opening each item going "Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness!!! It's Christmas!" Thank you so much Jennifer! And many thanks to Heather for organizing the Vintage Swap!
