It arrived. I was absolutely thrilled. There on my doorstep was a package. The package alone was cutely wrapped with brown paper that had been decorated with drawings by the sender. I quickly gathered it up and ran to the kitchen. I admired the box for a moment, wondering what would be inside. I couldn't stand it anymore, with the enthusiasm of a child on Christmas morn, I ripped open the package. Inside I found a treasure of vintage items. My secret "Vintage Indie's: Dream of Spring Vintage Swap" partner sent me a wonderful assortment of vintage and handmade items. She started with a collection of wonderful, Easter postcards. Then, a set of handmade tags adorned with images of roses, rabbits and poems. They are beautiful. To top it all off, the creme de la creme, a purple transferware plate. An item that I am always on the search for and have a difficult time finding. She surprised me with all of this. She is an absolute jewel to have found these amazing items. It's like she has known me for years.

Vintage Indie's: Dream of Spring Vintage Swap; Part 2
My absolutely, fabulous swap partner was Rhonda. You can check out her Etsy shop at Rhondamum. Her store is filled with handmade, vintage-inspired, altered art items, such as tags and notecards. Along with vintage playing cards, French flash cards and sheet music. It is a wonderful collection of items that show off her love of nature and all things French. After visiting her shop, if you would like to know what else she is working on, check out her blog at http://rhondamum.blogspot.com/.
This swap was such a thrilling experience, that I am hoping to do it again soon.
