The promised pic's and bookmark exchange

As promised here are all the wonderful goodies that Aileen sent - firstly the tea towel itself.



Then there were packets & packets & packets of beads & sequins & ribbon.


Two wonderful threads.


And candy & chocolate.


This is the whole lot together - Wasn't I an extremely lucky girl!!!



Also I participated in the bookmark exchange on intatters - choosing to send and receive 2 bookmarks. My partners were Jenni in Australia & Kaira in Norway. I am very lucky that I have received both my exchange bookmarks - this very poor picture is of a stunning woven picot bookmark from Jenni (by chance she had done it in my very favourite dicontinued :( Manuela thread & white (I'll scan it later to post a better image). She even sent me the pattern!!!!
Jenni hasn't received mine yet so I won't post it as yet.

The other stunning one was from Kaira in variegated blues & white - isn't it lovely!! The pattern is here.

The ones I sent her was an adaptation of Iris' Eleonora doily as suggested by Marty (see here) and my own version of Ellen Lai's bookmark.

Those are some fabulous exchange items. I am TOTALLY drooling over Kaira's beautiful bookmark! I LOVE it! LUCKY, lucky YOU!

Oh, BTW, I got your beautiful tatted pieces yesterday! WOO HOOO! I will post them later this next week. Right now some new Split Ring techniques abducted me and taken me hostage! They won't release me until I finish posts on them, LOL!
