Love those swaps!

I looked up at these three tree yesterday (in the sunshine!! Woo-hoo!) and was just struck by how different their life cycle is. They are all looking quite different, yet they all are trees in the same yard. I am sure there is something deeper there, but I have kids to get fed and picked up from school. So it goes sometimes...
This here is my main reason for getting a post out today... it is sooooo pretty, so pretty in the sun, so pretty hanging in my yard. (I am going to use these blue pea trellis-es this year!!)
I had been getting nervous... I haven't had a bad swap yet, but everyone else had been getting theirs!! But then this beauty had to travel all the way from England from the wonderful Mandy. I love it and I love all of the wonderful treats that she sent. I am in love with the blue and green "tufted tweets"--I don't think that I have every seen it in person. The colors are so pretty together. The little wooden doll is in blues and greens too and so cute. The quilt is in a beautiful assortment of Kaffe prints (love those) a few of them I don't have, so now I can look at them as much as I please! Got to love those swaps almost as much as sunshine!
