As I opened the box from Mieke of
Petite Victorian Rose blog, which was wrapped in red paper with white polka dots (such shabby fun!), I was shaking. The box was packed full of amazing, precious handmade miniature gifts, and every one of them so thoughtful.

| Handmade shabby tulle wedding dress! |
When I had asked Mieke a few months back if she thought doing a swap would be fun, I had no idea how fun it would be! We both took our time making things and gathering supplies and other gifts for each other. It was well worth taking the extra time, because you can see what Mieke sent. The fact is, Mieke spoiled me rotten with her beautiful gifts! ;-)
 |
| So feminine and precious! |
 |
| Tiny toiletries inside! |
 |
| Inside the big suitcase! |
Mieke has such a lovely blog. She has Victorian-inspired miniature dollhouse scenes and funny cute photo stories. I always look forward to her posts, because she is such a gentle, sweet, and funny blogger.

| Ladies miniature hat pin collection! |
 |
| Mieke's precious memory box! |
Mieke has published
photos of what I sent her for our swap, if you are interested. While you're there, I highly recommend that you take a look at her posts and join her blog, if you haven't already. ;-)

| Does it get more shabby and romantic than this? |

| Beautiful handmade card and multitudes of craft supplies! |
