Here is what my very talented friend Julia send me. But first let me tell you that the photos don't do

justice of all the beautiful things she send me. Here is a close up of the Box.Don't you just love all the beautiful details? The lace and the velvet flowers so very delicate.Ooooh,have a peek inside the box -
my heart skipped a beat.

 Julia also included a belated Birthday gift for me - so very sweet of her. A beautiful Book and in perfect condition.French ephemera - love it.

Sorry, I didn't comment on all the photos because I don't want to mess up my post again.

Dear Julia, thank you so much ,merci und vielen Dank fuer all die wunderbaren treasures you send me.

That was  a french dream come true and you're such a wonderful and generous swap partner - Thank you!

Have a wonderful day,dear friends and thanks for stopping by.

Paris swap - Part 1

                                                              Bonjour Mes Amis,
just polishing up on my french, sounds good doesn't it?
I was fortunate enough that my friend Julia from Vintage with Laces
agreed to do a Matchbox swap with me and the theme was Paris.
Since Julia received her package, here is what I send her.
This is the front of box - the image is from Magic Moonlight.
Thank you Blanca! At the moment I'm praying that I'll be able to upload the next pictures - having troubles again.
Well, it failed again! Sorry! Anyhow, if you haven't visited Julia, go
over and see her gorgeous art work. I'm now waiting for my package to arrive! Hopefully I can work out this uploading thing with blogger.Wishing you all a wonderful weekend dear friends and thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Marie

free bird image for you

my dear blogging friends,
today I would like to share this bird image with you.
I found the book at the fleamarket and it has all the cigarett cards still in them, some are damaged.
Well, in my last post I uploaded the book and all of a sudden it was gone - so I won't try again.
I also made a new soldered charm .
