Well, as some of you know, I really stink at keeping quiet! But I did, I kept my swap partner a secret!

But not anymore,....I finally get to tell...woo hoo!

Thank you, thank you,; thank you!!!!!  to....

Deb from Life In My Studio

 I was sooooo excited when I got my goodies my first impulse was to post about it ....woops had to wait!  So I just called Jill and gushed about my goodies...after all she's the only other person who knew, thanks Gypsy pal...great choice! However she did give me a stern warning to keep my mouth shut....ha ha

Come on when I like something I have to share it, don't you?

So finally here ya go....what I've been waiting for....

 Fluttering with anticipation I opened up my box.  Packed with vintage pattern paper and pretty ribbon there were 3 packages piled into the box...bits and bobs, pretty lace a beautiful card, doilies, trim a sweet little tin filled with jewelry findings...

....a dainty little bundle of vintage lace....soooo perfect.

Then the creme de le creme....my gorgeous, beautiful rosette,

attatched to this most fabulous taupe bag lined with taupe mattress ticking...my absolute fav. material...

Thanks Deb you really made my day....

This little beauty will surely be traveling to Texas with me at the end of the month!

Now please don't forget to check out all the other swappers over at Jill's place!
hugs,

Just took a  peak at my planner and HOLY Texas round up! It's just about 1 month away that I'll be packin' up and heading out the open fields of Antique Week!!!!

Honestly I've been trying not to think about it too much(like that works)because, those butterflies that well up in my stomach when I get completely, insanely excited...tend to stop me from doing anything else I need to do. So I thought I'll do a quick post and get a little excitement out of my system...then get back to work!

This is my biggest Texas wish......

...are you listening Jill? "if have to wait in line allll day to get into the Magnolia Pearl booth then that's what I'll do!" I'm drooling to experience in person Robin's amazing and magical designs.  I can only imagine the creative engery swirling about her tent! If I can wait in line all day for a computer on black friday...this will be a piece of cake...because I know the prize is sooooo much better and Round Top sure beats the best buy parking lot!

This East Coast yankee is headin' to Texas....yippee...here I come! See you there!
