Vintage Halloween Swap

One of several swaps I entered in the last couple of months was the Vintage Halloween Swap hosted by Heidi at Foxgloves, Fabric and Folly. (She's hosting a Vintage Christmas Swap, too, if you're interested!) Today is the designated day for posting about the goodies we received. My fabulous box of treats arrived just last night from my equally fabulous swap partner, Karen -The Bling Queen! I've been looking forward to getting it because we'd gotten to know each other over the past few weeks and I just knew it would be wonderful! Well- it most certainly did not disappoint...just look at all this goodness!
Item #1: This oh-so-lovely Halloween-y cigar box. It's decorated inside and out with stuff that sparkles! Too cute, right? Here are some of the tidbits inside!


Then, there were all these little treat sacks....
...filled with these! I just love all of them!!
But this is my favorite...a modern witch ATC. It really made me laugh. It's front and center on the Halloween display in my dining room!

Then, there's this adorable black cat goody basket filled with jelly belly candy corn and the sweetest little lollipop I've ever seen!
How cute are these little guys? And the hanky-definitely a favorite!!
It keeps on going! These are all little fall and halloween-y cookie cutters...there's a witch, a cat, a pumpkin, a ghost, moon and others including...
...get this...an OWL!
And, finally, check out this sweet deck of Tricks and Treats for Halloween......each one is so colorfully illustrated and has a fun little idea on the back! What an awesome score, right? I'm still ohhing and ahhing over all this great stuff! :)

Many, many, thanks to Karen- and to Heidi for hosting such a fun swap! Visit Heidi's blog
for a list of other participants and links to their blogs. Everyone should be posting their goodies today! You can go have a look-see!

sweetly, happily, and artfully yours,

randi

Cute Swap items!

HOLY COW - the fabric on the previous post (I know you know which one I am referring too!) - is it vintage fabric or new? - I would totally do my whole bed in that stuff (so I could sleep with candy)
Really Cute! I may have to ask you to photocopy the fabric.

You did receive a great haul from the Bling Queen! I participated in the swap, too, and was the recipient of some great items as well!! If you have time, you can see my loot displayed on my 10-08-08 post, too!
Hope your pre-Halloween fun is going well! Dana
