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 ::
