EASTER CONE SWAP 2011

I entered into to a Tussie Mussie / cone swap hosted by Jennifer over at Covered in Glitter

I was matched up with my bestest friend Grace, from Pink in the City!!

  

We agreed to do a "Easter theme" in soft pastels colors. I know Grace loves pink and I know she loves Marie Antoinette, so that is what I did.

I covered the cone in an antique damask fabric and painted it in pinks, greens, and gold. I then covered it in Glitter.

  

 I took lots of soft Pink and Green Tulle & Ruched it. Then I applied a fabric transfer print of Marie, Embellished it w/ fabric flowers, ribbon, a green bird, etc.

I added lots and lots of goodies, to her white Easter basket which I glittered & decorated with a vintage ribbon. !!

We agreed she would come to me for the "actual swap".  

Well, she arrived and surprised me with a beautiful, gorgeous cone,

Covered in a beautiful lace with the prettiest pearlescent buttons down the side, a love the soft colors and beaded tassel at the end!!!

 A basket full of goodies

Oh my goodness!! I just couldn't believe all the little treasures!! Which are either now displayed in my home for Easter, or dare I say already gobbled up!!! heehee!!

Thank you sooooo much Grace!! I just feel so special!! that you treated me with soooo many gorgeous things!!! xoxoxoxox
