More green swap goodies!

  • 10 June 2010 5:44 am

Look what I got in the post yesterday!

Unfortunately, unlike Emma, my swapee, I was too excited to take pictures of it all wrapped up (her blog post is lovely about my bits), so sorry, I was excited!  I could I could take a picture of the magazine wrappings in the recycling bin…

So what to show you first, well, how about this

Isn’t the card wonderful, it must have taken hours, they are cut out from the scraps Emma has left over (and I think its in the recycling logo), and that pincushion – how cute!  Much to my shame I’d never have thought of keep such tiny scraps and then to make something so great from them!  (a lesson learnt)

 

My favourite colours too.

Next up is some lush fabric which has got my mind whirling already, especially the teal one on top…

 

Yes, there is more!  Some ’green’ toiletries, I’m looking forward to trying the face scrub tonight, I’ll also be sampling the chocolate too, in the interests of politeness of course!  Though it is perfect for me, I love sweet and savoury together, if I have a bit of chocolate I have to have savoury nibbles too, so this chocolate has caramelised salted almonds in which sound totally lush!

 

And finally an inpired idea.  Made from left over hessian Emma has made these vegetable bags – not only are they gorgeous and well made, they are mega practical too!

 

A huge thanks to Emma and Rachel for not only organising but coming up with the idea too for this swap, its been brilliant, the making and the receiving!  If you keep popping over to thatlittlebitgreener blog they are going to post links to everyone’s blogs who took part so you can see all the other lovely goodies that people have made and received.
