Last but not Least

Remember the swap fun we started a few months ago? The last two packages arrived! (The swap has ended, but we are thinking about a new one!)


Andrea's (of Crownology) package made a world travel before coming to us, I'm guessing that a postman was thinking of keeping it as it is so gorgeous! But eventually it arrived and we are so glad it did as she has sent some pretty amazing stuff. The package was already like a treat, look at the beautiful star, of course we love it! But the actual treat was inside. A gorgeous drawing made by Andrea, the Morning Swim 1952. The bathing cap is made of a real bathing cap of 1952 as you can see in the picture here under. The bathing suit is cut out of Japanese origami paper and even the straps are made of thread, so much lovely details and patience in this work, so glad that it arrived! Crownology will open later this year, and her Morning Swim series will be available then, so keep an eye on her shop, her banner already looks very promising! Thank you so much Andrea! In the mean time you can also have a look at her beautiful blog.


Greet aka FleurFatale has some lovely felted cat brooches in her shop (among other gorgeous jewelry) but as she knows that we are dog lovers, she made us a super cute dog brooch, among with my favorite card she designed, Be Different. Greet has a very inspiring blog and a gorgeous shop, be sure to visit both! Thank you so much, Greet!
