It's Finally Here! Rosette Swap Reveal

(and White Wednesday, too!!!)

TODAY IS THE DAY!

The day so many of us have been waiting for!

The day when all of us

rosette addicts show off

our special treasures we have received

from our partners!

I received my package on

August 18th, right on time.

Earlier that day my daughter

called me at work 

and let me know that a package

had arrived for me!

I nearly SCREAMED with excitement!

(I'm sure my co-workers are grateful that I did not!)

I could hardly wait to get home!

And when I arrived,

there it sat...

a small package...

(and you KNOW what they say about small packages!)

...just for me

from my Rosette Swap friend!

I slowly opened the package so that 

I could savor every moment!

There was a sweet card inside

from Sylvia of My Trinkets.

As I read it my heart began to beat even quicker

at the mention of

"VINTAGE LACE"

and

"RE-PURPOSED VINTAGE EARRINGS!"

Next, I pulled out of the package

a little bundle wrapped in tissue paper.

I opened it slowly....

to find this treasure box!

Just look at the intricate detailed carving

and the beautiful metal accents!

The surface is so smooth!

I just sat there, running my fingers 

over the engraving,

and wondering what treasures awaited!

Inside the box was this sweet little bag

and when I lifted it up out of the box,

I gasped!

My daughter gasped!

"OH, WHAT IS IT?!?!"

THESE BEAUTIES!!!!

Aren't they gorgeous?

I tried them on immediately,

and fell in love!

I've worn them twice already,

and have gotten numerous compliments!

Many have asked if I made them...

and I just smile, and say,

"No, my friend, Sylvia in Florida, made them for me!"

Thank you, Sylvia!

From the bottom of my heart!
