I just so looooove swapping. The bit of birthday nerves I used to have when I was young, wondering what I would get. Those same tinkeling nerves I feel when I know a package is on it’s way to me.
A while ago I set up a magazine swap with Clare from the Lulu Carter blog. She really loves the Dutch magazine ‘Ariadne at Home Kinderen’ which is, to say, impossible to get in Australia. I liked to get the Australian Homespun in return, which is very hard to get here.
Have a look at the lovely presents I received today, the paper handkerchiefs make me smile, and I think I don’t dare to use them…. And the matroeshka paper with the green and white striped ribbon, sigh…. nice wrapping makes a present so much more valuable. And off course the Homespun Magazines full of inspiration!!
If you are curious for the package I have sent, have a look here, Clare made very beautiful pictures.
