Fall Swap goodies

Hi everyone in blogville! :))
Recently I was in a fall swap w/the extremely talented Sheila, from Seasons of Thy Heart(she's listed on my sidebar) and I wanted to share pics of what all she sent me. We agreed to send each other at least 5 items, 3 of which had to be handmade. She ended up making me way more than that and went way above and beyond, as you will see. I made an arrangement on our family room fireplace mantel from several of her items, then I'll show you the rest and some close up views..... I added the leaf swag and the little basket to hold the rag balls she made ~ they are highly scented too.

I love the little sunflower she added to the top of the very tall pumpkin.

She does amazing floral arrangements out of reg. soup cans ~ she grungies up the cans and adds a prim label. She even added a pumpkin made from fabric, in the arrangement, which doesn't show too well.

She did a great job on the sign!

The center part has a flickering candle in the middle, that fits in the hole.

A framed pic w/a sweet verse.

Close up of how she packages her bowl fillers.

3 darling little pumpkins....

A wonderful prim tart melt that smells wonderful.

A lovely hand-quilted scene on a very large pillow.

The most darling apron made from a tea towel. Isn't it cute???

Look at that rick-rack!! She divided the panel into 3 pockets!

And last but not least, a spoon rack w/a souvenir spoon of the state of Idaho, where she's from, but it doesn't show up at all. I never would have thought of that!

Thank you again Sheila, for a wonderful swap!!! I loved everything she sent me!!

Here's what I sent to her......

a double -flange pillow that I had never tried before. I ended up going to 3 different JoAnn Fabric stores before finding just the right material. (I know I can be a little obsessed)! LOL

It's from a LK pattern that I changed a bit and added some glittery buttons as well.

A little wooden sign.

Sorry for the blur~ got too close again, but it's a bag of Halloween buttons.

Highly scented pumpkin spice votives.

'Boo' ghost bringing her some flowers......tee hee

He is actually tea stained a bit more in person.

This actually started out as a bread cover, but thot it could be used as a candle mat too.

I made a little arrangement w/the rest of the items I sent her, so you could see what the candle mat would look like decorated.

The little bucket has a flickering tea light inside. I also sent her a tea towel w/a pumpkin pie recipe printed on it and accidently deleted the pic of it. oops!!!

So as you can see, we both had a lot of fun w/this swap!!!

Thanks again for visiting and I hope to be back soon w/some things I've been busy working on.

Have a great week everyone!
