trinket trade has come home~

after about 2 months

the trinket trade box

has made its way back home



i happened to walk past my kitchen window and the same time

mr. mailman was stepping out of his truck

i could see the package in his hand

and new exactly what he had for me

see here...these wonderful women who particpated

left the trinket box in the same priority box

 i had originally shipped it in

i thought that was pretty cool

this here box started on one side of the united states

and journied towards the other side

then off to the united kingdom

where it ran in to a wee bit of trouble

those customs people were afraid there were highly valued treasures laying inside this here box

and dear Lisa had to go through some fanagling

to assure them

really it was measly items...nothing of high value

again...thank you Lisa for all your work!

it was to travel onward to make one more stop

but fell short

due to life happening in an unexpected way

all i can say

is to the one who i am speaking of

"our hearts and blessings

 be with you and your family"

like a kid in a candy store

i tore open the box

wasn't quite sure how the box i had made would hold up

but its still looking good



remember the pieces were to be of

NO SIGNIFICANT VALUE

trinkets dodads bits and pieces just laying around

well Lisa had made a good point here in her post

"The thought that remains with me though is this...

What if we all become famous artists one day, with creations selling for millions?"

i knew right away this here flower

was that from her

so beautiful

for the most part

all the rest remain a mystery to me

where they once were

i shall not know

if only right?!?

sparkling bits

a fun little embellishment

wonderful bright encouraging words

 which i recognized immediately

Jane

a soothing necklace and bracelet

{it is a soft earthy shade of green but my camera had troubles picking up its true color}

when this started

i placed five trinkets in the box

and i have been curious if and what would be chosen

this is the only thing that returned home

 an array of fun little treats

wrapped up in a delicate yellow bag

along witthe trinkets i had sent

i created a little book for each to sign

a little momento of its journey

i did edit out everyones name for privacy reasons

so i am sorry for the white spots you will see



to each of you ladies

THANK YOU

for making this journey come to be

full circle

traveling and connecting little bits of our lives

and sharing with one another

for your time and efforts put forth

for the gorgeous unique pages you created

and mostly for your friendship

~you have filled my heart with great joy~

here are all the beautiful inspiring women who played along

i do hope you drop by and see what they have to share

each ever so unique and creative

in their own special way
