*Spring Swap With Sarah*

My dear friend Sarah from All Roads Lead Home and I recently did our Spring Swap and she sent me some of her  famous Salt Dough Bowl Fillers. Sarah I'm so sorry I'm behind doing this post .  I absolutely LOVE everything you sent me!!  These swaps are always so much fun.

These are  the gorgeous "Blooms"  I LOVE the colors!!

She puts SO much detail into each and everyone of them. And ages them perfectly!!!

She also sent me some Angel Vine. I have a big trencher bowl and need a filler for it. I couldn't find any locally so she sent me some. And it's a huge bag......thank you Sarah!!! :)

I didn't have any of her St. Patrick Day fillers so she sent me some so I would have them for next year.

This is another  item I can't find locally...they are the big tea lights!!! They are about 2 1/2 inches wide I've never seen or heard of them until Sarah told me about them. I have a big tin willow tree tart burner that Sarah sent me in a previous swap and these big tea light works perfect in it!!!

Sarah and I have become very close friends over the past couple of years and we have so much in common. One thing is we both are purse alcoholics!!! She posted about a new purse she bought and I  LOVED it!!!!  She is so sweet and went back by the store and checked and they had one left..... and it was 50% off ....well we all know what that meant!!! It was meant to be MINE !!! So I sent her out a check so fast. I received it in the mail in the next few days and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Thank you Sarah!! :)
