My partner for the Simple Woman summer swap was Julie over at Keepers At Home. This was my first swap with any blogging buddy and I have to say - I loved it! I had so much fun putting everything together [a couple times over].
I received from Julie a box full of goodies! We had to send each other something new, something to share (from your own home), and something bought at a thrift store. However, everything we sent, to the other, had to remind us of summer in some way.
The NEW, Julie sent me was a cute box of dessert plates -
Here they are out of the box…
Next, the SOMETHING TO SHARE (from around your home) was an arange-it-yourself vase. We will be getting some wild flowers for this later on this evening Julie.
For the SOMETHING-BOUGHT-FROM-A-THRIFT-STORE item (although she says the above vase ALSO meet that criteria) she saw that I LOVE glass jars so she found me one. As you can see - I’m already using it for our homemade buttermilk! Thanks swap partner - I love it!!!
And then of course, as she states in her blog, great mind think alike…she sent us these popcicle molds to enjoy together. I already had one set of these, but the ones Julie sent are bigger than ours and the girls are ALL ABOUT the bigger!!!! I bought juice over the weekend and we’re going to make them today!
Thanks for all the great gifts Julie! I love them and enjoyed gathering all yours as well! Glad to have a new friend!
