Show and Tell Sunday and Junque swap

This weeks Show and Tell Sunday theme hosted by Cerri is "Show us your Vintage bling".

Well I don't have much bling to share, but I show you what I have and if Vintage rhinestone buttons count as bling here are a few of my favorites:




This week I was very lucky and got some more Vintage bling from my new friend and swap partner in Heather Pretty Petal's "Junque in my Trunk" swap LiLi from the Netherlands, in the next picture it is mixed with the ones I already had:



Seeing that I don't have so much bling yet I have no special places or boxes to store it, but the bling I got from LiLi came in the most gorgeous Vintage rose tin ever:

But this isn't all sweet LiLi has sent to me, I got the biggest swap packet ever and so gorgeously wrapped already from the outside, I love the scrabble tiles saying JUNQUE:

Inside was this giant pink polka dottet box wrapped beautifully with black lace, a black millinery rose and a delightful Victorian hand tag made by LiLi :

Everything was wrapped enchanting and with beautiful decorated tags and lace like these earrings:

This is was what I found when I opened the big box, I was overwhelmed when I saw all those wonderfully wrapped parcels:

It was so much fun to unwrap all these pretties:

Afterwards my table was full of amazing swap goodies one prettier than the other:

This was better than Christmas or birthdays I can tell you!

You can click on all of the pictures to enlarge them and see all the details:

LiLi has made me a sweet needle cushion in a little Vintage rose cup and a lace bag with pink Vintage gloves inside:

I also got black and cream pompom trims which I love and old tarte tins which I look forward to use in my Advent decoration next season, well there was so much in that parcel it was just awesome!

But the best of the whole parcel to me is this magnificent collaged "Boxwood Cottage Portfolio" made by LilLi especially for me, which I simply adore:

It has a sweet inscription typed with LiLi's new Vintage typewriter:

And it is filled with Vintage sheet music, book pages, postcards, wallpaper and emphemera:

I'm looking forward to use these in future projects.

Thank you so so much for this fabulous swap dear LiLi I love it all!

Have a great upcoming week everyone! Spring has finally sprung here today and I worked in the garden and I'm looking forward to a new garden post soon!
