What a Surprise...

A few weeks ago 

I signed up 

for the Fall Findings Swap

at Some Days are Diamonds

I sent my swap box

to my partner

but for some reason

my partner has gone MIA

and I never received one

I was ok with that

I have always felt things happen for a reason

and hope that everything was ok with

the person who was my partner

and she enjoyed the box that I made her

Behind the scenes

Debi from

Life in My Studio

contacted Karen

and today

I heard a knock at my door

and boy was I surprised!

When I opened the box

I had no idea what 

was awaiting me!

There are baking cups and picks

Also some chocolate!

I really like the bag the baking cups came in

now I need to look for them

Isn't this oak leaf pretty?

I hadn't seen a pumpkin like this one

and I knew she really

looked at my blog because of the

 teakettle timer

There was even something

for Isabella

I couldn't believe the box she 

decorate - photos 

do not do it justice

Each layer had so many beautiful things

There were white gloves

spools with lace

door plates

ribbons

a bookmark with an Edgar Allen Poe quote

thread spools wrapped with lace

and embellished with jewels

a flattened gold spoon embellished with jewels and lace

and buttons galore!

I think Deb got "me"

The inside of the box with everythign removed

isn't it beautiful?

I love the little girls tea party

From the bottom of my heart.....

Thanks you so much Deb 

it was soooo unexpected

and I love all of it!
