Oh My!   I 
haven't blogged for the better part of a month.  Well, it has been a ridiculously busy month. 
Well,  I finally got my 
RVA swap box of goodies.  My swap partner experienced multiple difficulties with shipping over the border , but persistence paid off and it showed up on the front porch last Thursday.  Check out the fun goodies.  I can't wait to play with this stuff this weekend.
A handy watchmaker's tin with fun pirate buttons inside.  I have a bunch of pirate paper and a few pictures of Jake dressed up for 
Hallowe'en a few years ago that have been waiting for embellishments like these: 

An assortment of pretty ribbons.  I am especially excited about the length of sage lace:

Some making memories funky fibers in primary colours:

This great doggy lover stationary (Jenny clearly peeked around my 
twopeas gallery and saw my two lovelies):

Ultra-
fantastico Hambly screen rub-
ons.  These are hard to get your paws on up here (either that or I am looking in the wrong places- If anyone knows where in the 
GTA I can get more of these, let me know).

Two magnetic frames.  The magnets seem to be very strong; they should be able to withstand Jake's 
power-kicks to the refrigerator door-Maybe not.... I'll put them on the side of the fridge, just to be safe. 

A pretty little (actually, it's pretty sizable) bangle bracelet:

And I saved the best for last..... these two FANTASTIC fabrics:


I LOVE the sock monkeys!!!!
And everything came all packaged up in a beautiful Italian inspired box (again, Jenny did her research and 
discovered I am an 
Italophile):

I can't wait for my next swap.
