Summer Swap

I participated in Monica and Carrie's Sisters Swap again and boy, did I make out like a bandit! I brought you along to open my box with me. I was paired up with Wendy and she was a perfect partner! I knew when the box came and she had even made the address special I was in for a treat. The top of the box said it contained some of the makings for a patriotic picnic. First out are these adorable flip flop napkins. Swoon.
Double swoon! A clear wire-topped canning jar! I have a blue one but it doesn't always match. This jar contained red, white, and blue cutlery. There was also a jar with star shaped candles, I wonder if they float?

Matching dinner and luncheon plates! She also attached a note with a fun idea for the picnic on each item.

An American flag for our each member of our family to wave.

And the piece de resistance (I have no idea how to spell that), a patriotic table topper which I am certain she made.
Wendy - you were the most gracious swap partner and your box should arrive tomorrow. After seeing this lovely gift I hope you are too disappointed with what I sent, I wasn't nearly as creative as you!

  2. Jenni,

    Yes the candles float. I guess I should have mentioned that! oops. I am so glad that you enjoyed your box. Yes, I did make the table topper. Don't look too hard because I am new to sewing!

    I received my box today and LOVED IT! I can't wait to try out the Hoho cake and the button flowers are adorable! I think you did a fantastic job. Thank you!
