Swap!

I've had a really crummy week, mainly work related stuff, and not feeling well (probably because of work related stuff), but there was one bright spot - I received my paper and ribbon swap package from Marieke! It was all beautiful - from the bright blue envelope above that I saw sticking out of my mailbox on a gloomy Tuesday...
.....to the beautiful original monoprint postcard on which a lovely message was written....
.....to all these gorgeous papers and ribbons! I really love all the papers, some of my Japanese favorites, as well as some lovely "found" papers, like old music sheets. Also, the ribbon is absolutely gorgeous, like nothing I can find here in Halifax. I especially love the one that is embroidered with flowers. I will have to find a very special use for all of these wonderful things! Thanks Marieke - I hope that you enjoy your swap package when it arrives!
