I love old vintage pins and thought it would be fun to swap lovely spring or Easter rhinestone pins or pins other than the plastic Hallmark style pins...
There are some very nice, inexpensive pins on ebay and such for folks such as I, that live in a limited area for all the pretties I see on line.
Sign up will be March 10th and Mail out will be March 18th
Please be on time with your mailing...You can go ahead and be looking for your pin now and be ready to go when it is time.
What about including a vintage hankie in with your pin...Oh the delights of Spring and the breath of nature's beauty awakening once again......Smiles, Beth
You can never be to kind! |

Hi Shannon,
No I did not make the crochet square! I do believe that the crochet square was made at least 50 or more years ago I found it in an old draw with many other squares I think someone was going to start a quilt. But was never able to finish it. I am so happy you enjoyed your first swap.
Hugs,
Roe

Beth, I got my package, too! I had a super long, cruddy week, and it was such a perk to find my surprises in the mail. The hankies and pin were beautiful and you should have seen my five month old's eyes light up at the cute chicky bird. And then another smile for me when I got your card the day after. Thank you for being my swap buddy and I hope you get your package soon - it was so funny, I mailed it the morning from work and then got yours that afternoon when I got home. :)
Take care,

Yay I get to be the first one to post pictures of the wonderful treasures I got from my partner, our awesome swap hostess Beth!
First not one, but two beautiful embroidered hankies! Then, the absolutely adorable Easter Bonnet brooch...so vintage and sweet.

My package came in this adorable Easter Chick basket with all my treasures inside (including some scrapbooking goodies and a cute pen which I immediately hid from my daughter.
Finally this wonderful pincushion made by Beth using an egg cup. What a clever and charming idea. I absolutely love it Beth....I already added some more pins!
Thank you so much for being such a great swap partner (and hostess). It was so much fun!!!!
Hugs, Tammy
