Vintage Party Swap Goodies

I opened my box from Alisa just after dinner. Even the wrap was so fun! Because my kids were there, it was quite a ceremony. Lots of delighted exclamations by my teenage girls, and Daniel (almost 2) joining in with even more dramatic flair. Even Dawson, who is six, was impressed!

I had to wait until this morning to take some decent pictures - and I'm sorry I'm not a better photographer! However, these shots will give you all an idea of the beautiful things that I received from my talented and generous swap partner, Alisa! Just look at this banner! Vintage trim, fabric, buttons and ribbon. I absolutely love it! I can think of several different kinds of parties I can use it for.

Lighting's not so good - the banner says "celebrate". Everything is gorgeous!


I love this scalloped trim... and the scalloped stitching on the blue ribbon...

...crepe paper trim also, so neat!

Gloves, pearls, and glitter set the party mood.

A beautiful vintage cloth, platter, and a fun cookbook!

The invitations are wonderful, also. Vintage flowers tucked in a sparkly banner...
...each invitation is a different combination of colors.

The inside has stamped elements that I can fill in with party details.

Extra papers, ribbons, and more, to add to party supplies that I already have.

Wasn't that a nice touch?

Beautiful girls for cupcake toppers, and an array of colorful hankies

to give as party favors.

Even some miniature beauties for favors - so darling!

I can't wait to throw our vintage cotillion party!

Big thanks to Alisa - wonderful job!

I love it!!

P.S. Here are a few more sneak peeks of what I sent to Alisa...
