ON THE GIVING END~~~~~~~~~~~
Below is what I gave to my partner, Crystal of Hummingbird Cottage.
I made her one of my fabric covered cake boxes. Covered in a pretty pink and white print with just a touch of blue.

Here's a pic of all that I sent her, more closups below.

Heart shaped cake box.

Next I made Crystal a little felt tea-pot embellished with silk ribbon embroidery and filled with a touch of fresh lavender.

A pink felt heart shaped lollie also embellished with silk ribbon embroidery.

I made this vintage shabby cottage tea cup into a pin cushion. embellished with silk ribbon embroidery.

Crystal likes to do scrapbooking so I put some vintage postcard images, ballerinas and some lace trims in her box.

A little vintage heart shaped brooch.

Some hot chocolate wrapped in Mary E. fabric and a little box of Russell Stover chocolate.

A little valentine tag.

Lastly a Amour Valentine Swap Tag.

NOW ON TO THE RECEIVING END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sweet Crystal really spoiled me. Look how pretty my heart box was when I took it out of the shipping package.

Almost to pretty to open. All done up in tulle and a silver heart and an inital "S" in pearls. (which I love).

I waited until after dinner to open the box, it was just too pretty and I wanted to take my time.

Look how pretty Crystal embellished the box.

Look at my little box of treasures! I have to say that Crystal must have really looked over my blog because she touched on everyone of my hobbies and interests to fill my box of goodies.

A little flower pot pick with birds. Some yummy chocolate, a pretty post card holder with cala lilies.

A beautiful handmade pink crystal bracelet. Crystal makes jewerly and I'm sure she made this.

A pretty vintage redwork tea towel.

A silver heart and a beautiful letter "S" in pearls. Some finger nail polish, nail brush and files. Perfect for when I come in from working in the garden!

Two very pretty little pink frames and my favorite Earl Grey tea.

Some flower seeds, candles and pink n pretty note pads.

A counted cross stitch/silk embroidery kit.

I hung my pearl "S" on my Valentine tree. Look how pretty it looks there.

Thank you so much Crystal for the wonderful gift. It has been so much fun to get to know you and I will treasure all that you gave me.

Thank you to all my blogging friends who stopped by today. Enjoy your Valentines Day with your loved ones!

My husband and I will spend the day at home, were still snowed in!
