Box full of treasures...

This box of treasures arrived right in the middle of Chloe's birthday bash. When I saw that it was from my Vintage Kitchen Swap partner Lauren Mumford, I could hardly wait until the party was over to open it. Lauren is the absolute ultimate in swap partners, let me tell you. She went way above and beyond! As you can see, everything was wrapped beautifully with shabby chic tissue and vintage crepe paper...sheets and sheets of it. I will be making rosettes with this stuff until the end of time. Woohoo!! Ok, now to show you the goods. Everything was perfectly color coordinated as well. Lauren is an absolute genius at putting things together and pays attention to every little detail. This vintage tablecloth is hand painted. It's the most gorgeous shades of grey, yellow creme, turquois, gold and off white. Yummy! In the beautiful tin was a little bag of lavender with millinery flowers attached so the entire package smelled divine as I opened it. Also in the tin was the tiny little chair with a vintage RSVP postcard. I adore this!!! See an up-close pic of this later in the post. There was also a lovely vintage paper tablecloth and plates in a cute turquois print. Finally, a teacup and a vintage tray in the most scrumptious shade of buttery yellow and silver.

Ok, ready for this?? Lauren enclose an original piece of her artwork. Just look at this!!!! I literally was teary eyed when I was opening it to think that I now own a Lauren Mumford original. It went straight to the wall next to our dining room table. I will cherish it forever. Thank you!!!
Ok, there's more... This cutie pie vintage party book and these little glass canisters that Lauren altered and filled with sprinkles and candies. Isn't she just amazing?! Oh, and she also enclosed a stack of fun vintage ephemera that I didn't get to photograph because I started using it in my art immediately!Here's a close up of that little chair that I can't stop staring at. A huge thank you to Jenny for hosting such a fun swap and to Lauren for the loveliest of lovely treasures. I really felt like it was my birthday yesterday:) If you would like to see what I gave Lauren, she posted about it here.
