Crafty Goodness Swap

So the box arrived from Pip of Pip and Life...

This is the first thing I removed, an envelope. Inside was this beautiful necklace. The center pendant was a key, which I think is quite appropriate for my blog - Maria's Secret Garden.

Then was this precious box with handmade owl buttons in it. The amazing thing is they were handmade. The box was covered with button paper. I am an avid button collector.

Another photo of the box.
Then there was this precious pin pillow. I was thoroughly impressed that Pip had embroidered on the front and

on the back... it says: he that will not stoop for a pin will never be worth a pound.

These last two items were enclosed in this can with an angel on the front.

The strawberry framed picture was lovely and delectably cute!

This was the flip side of the envelope.

I want to say how blessed I feel to have had Pip as my partner. The thoughtfulness and caring that she put forth into her gifts to me are truly appreciated. I am blessed.
