What I Sent My Swap Partner

I sent Carrie Stalcup

this  Earthenwood Studios 

Heart pendant.

I had been saving this pendant 

for some time. 

I selected beads that went with 

the colors as a supporting cast.

Red Maylay Jade, Czech Beads 

and a few Charms.

I also sent some bonus items. I hope she'll like.

Some of which she can put to good use 

with seed bead flora and fauna she makes.

At the last minute, I added a

 Earthenwood Studio Key Link. 

Now I look forward to the reveal date!

Beads Received for the Swap

I received my beads that Carrie sent in

yesterday's mail,

for the BSBP Hoarders edition.

Packaged up so sweetly.

and with a cleverly written note 

which I will echo here...

 A little story of the focal bead is that it has

 been in her collection for 15 years.

Yep, that is some definite hoarding.

Treasured all those years and she chose to part 

with it for this bead hoarders swap.

It is a beautifully

carved peach aventurine mermaid.

She sent her along with some pearls 

to keep her company.

But feels this shy little lady will make 

friends with my beads 

in no time at all.

I did pull out some peach jade 6mm beads

 that seem to 

compliment her quite nicely.

We'll see.

She should be getting what I sent today 

and I will do another post 

about what I sent soon.

Thank You So Much Carrie!
