Officially foofed up!

Hello everyone and thank you for stopping at Boxwood Cottage today! Before I can do a new post about my garden I have to share with you all the lovely parcels arriving at my doorstep during the last week and some of my latest soldered pendants.



I'm now officially foofed up by the sweet and more than generous Jessi Nagy! We did a one on one magazine and craft supplies swap and she has sent me a huge parcel full of the loveliest things! Just the packaging alone is worth two pictures. I hope the click on pic to enlarge thingy will work so that you can click on the next picture to see all the beautiful parcels close up. I love the papers she chose as well as the lace bows around the parcels and her self made tags are just
divine!


I also love this gorgeous card in a rose pocket she has included with a kind message:



On top of the big mail parcel she had glued the letters saying "hi foofy girl" :)

Oh just look at all the foofy treasures which where in the beautiful wrapped parcels.

You american guys just have the cutest stuff! I'm especially chuffed by all the pretty borders and of course I absolutely love the Foof-a-life book!

And to top it all of Jessi has given the book to Teresa McFayden (the main artist of all the beautiful crafts in the book) and Becky Novacek to sign it for me! Now isn't that fabulous?

Jessi you really rock girl! Thanks a million! I hope your swap parcel will arrive at your home soon! xox

I have also got the price I won from my gorgeous friend Nature Girl's drawing:

Little worry dolls to lay under my cushion at night so that they'll take away all my worries isn't that a good thought, beautiful museum quality butterflies to decorate my studio lamp and a very sweet card filled with dried leaves of roses and a mini lavender bouquet as well as a little golden charm which is an acorn of friendship, so sweet! NG you are a true friend! Thanks a lot! xox

Another magazine swap has arrived here from the lovely Natalea again. Well last time it was her fab give away I won and this time it was a little one on one swap we did. I'm so so glad and thankful that she has sent me the Artful blogger magazine, which is all about artful blogs, featuring a lot of my blogging friends like Sandy from Art tea life and Corey from Tongue in cheek and so many more, just great! Natalea has also added some very pretty art supplies. Click on picture to enlarge and see more details:

Lastly I like to show you my latest soldered pendants in the Marie-Antoinette series, which is still one of m favorite themes :

I'm planning on putting these in my Etsy shop as soon as I get around to do it!

I was so happy when I found the big oval glass in our local craft shop!

This one is quite smaller, they always have two different sides in this case a red and a blue one:

Well I think that's it for today I'm now off to a 3 days finance workshop in Hamburg (work related), coming back home to Bremen on Saturday and look forward to hopefully read you kind comments.

Hugs to all of you dear blogging friends and readers!
