Back in April I jumped in on a
blog swap and was delighted when I received a package in the mail from Cathy at
ma vie trouvee today. This gorgeous collage is an original piece, made by Cathy. I am so honored she would gift me with it and will display it proudly. She currently lives in Singapore and embraces every culture she encounters. She was worried I wouldn't like the Asian vibe but I simply adore it!
She included a handmade card that is also her own artwork, I don't know what the pony is called but the red part is elegant red flocking. Everything was packaged up in a decorated envelope. But what is that on the right side...
Well, buttons, of course! She knows me well. She purchased them in a city in Indonesia called Yogyakaita (I hope I got that right!). Before I add them to my collection I plan to string them together with a tag stating where they came from. They are all different than anything I already have and so fun to have buttons from another country. Thank you SO much Cathy!
My own swaps are still inside my head but, lucky for me, we have until the end of the year and it might take me that long at the rate I'm going!
