[Mkia]

Marigold and I decided to do a private swap for the holidays. We settled on an "other collections plus local goodies" theme. Here is all the amazing stuff I received!

First, box one as I opened it!

I also collect aristocats, pocahontas, and wicked witch items and boy did marigold spoil me! Here is a sweet little wicked witch doll, magnet, aristocats pins, zebra thimble, and pocahontas button! I love everything here! I already have a small collection of thimbles, so this one fits perfectly! Marigold has also gotten me a good start on a pin collection!

My partner also received an ornament made by Marigold! We went up north for a few days so I haven't gotten a picture of hers yet, but it has her name on it and a bunch of little animals! She works at an animal hospital and loves small animals! It's perfect for her!


Thank you so much Marigold! I clearly got spoiled beyond imagination! I love everything and have still yet to try all the treats! Thank you again!!

Wowzers, what an awesome box! You sure were spoiled! Looks like a lot of fun and glad you got some awesome stuff to add to your collections!

[kaoskat]

Awesome box! Congrats!

[melodys_angel]

How awesome, congrats!

[tikibirds]

Dude, thats alot of goodies!

[Marigold]

I couldn't help it, it was so much fun shopping for you and I really could have found even more.  It's like I just kept seeing things I thought you would like, and I wanted you to taste EVERYTHING I could possibly send. There are two things that I haven't tried myself: the pound cake and the grapefruit jelly so you'll have to tell me if they are good.  The little zebra charm is from our local craft fair.  The one I kept telling you I was going to go to.

Haha I know the feel!

Ohhh the little zebra charm is so neat. You can't quite tell in the pic, but it's actually made of leather I think. It's super neat. And I haven't tried those yet! I'll get on it

[Marigold]

Yep, leather.
