Look what the postman delivered! My wonderful vintage button swap package from Alexandra. I discovered Alexandra's website a few months ago [via Martha], but didn't realize who she was until after we were assigned as partners. Gotta love that "the world is smaller than you think" feeling. Anyways, she sent me a lovely package of...
:: vintage buttons ::
:: one day she asked me what color the sky was and my response was "greyish-blue" :: the same colors in my new hand woven neck scarf :: yes, you read that correctly hand woven ::
:: cotton + linen :: I cannot even begin to describe the beautiful texture + color of this scarf ::
:: instructions on how to "wear it your way" :: love the hand-drawn illustrations ::
She also sent a big stack of books for the boys, which they devoured immediately. And everything was wrapped up in these beautiful vintage scarves [which I'll be wearing as head bands/wraps this summer.] Thank you, Alexandra! [She's going to be starting her own weblog soon, so I'll keep you all posted.]
And this is what I sent her way.
:: a package of her favorite colors at the moment--mustard + dark blue ::
:: vintage buttons :: pin + pocket :: push + pins :: cookbook ::
:: pin + pocket 03 ::
P.S. Have you seen all the other fantastic vintage button swap packages out there? Wow! And for those who inquired, the next round of the vintage button swap will take place this fall.
