As part of Carole's Journal Class
we included paper napkins/tissue serviettes
into our journal pages.
One bright classmate suggested
we have a napkin swap...
As I've never been part of a swap before
I thought it was a great idea!
AND I can't resist paper napkins.
Sooo, everyone sent 10 napkins of the same design
to Carole who organised the swap.
Just look at this bevy of beauties
I received
they arrived in this envelope.
I just love going to the letter box
and finding packages like this!
I was wondering
which is my FAVE napkin...
the mere fact that they are
"World Travellers"
and were once part of
someone elses collection
makes each one so special.
They're all beautiful
and I just LOVE them all!
Thank you Carole for co-ordinating
our swap - it was fun!
Here's another view
don't you love them too?
YOU can still join in!
If you would like to do Carole's
class you can by going here.
Beautiful serviettes! I'm like you I love them all, the one with the parisian scenes is gorgeous but so is the pretty letter~box or is it bird~box. I can imagine what a delight to open up this parcel.

How wonderful to participate in this swap.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pretty ones you received and that would have been a fun package to get in your mailbox.
Happy Thursday

OOhh, I can hardly wait. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so nice!
Isn't it fun to swap things Shane?
I do it often, for years now, and get nice mail like this :))
Much more fun than bills!
great napkins! love the variety!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed, napkins are more beautiful than ever these days. Lucky you.....xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteThis is so much better than the only "swap" I have done -- cookie swap. Not that I don't love cookies (which I do) but these serviettes are lovely (and last longer than the cookies) - hah! I love the collage photo.
ReplyDeletethey do look lovely all together Shane, and you said it so beautifully ... world travelers that they are ... gives me wanderlust ... that ;)
ReplyDeleteoxo
Fun mail is always exciting. You certainly received some gorgeous napkins.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from "I'll Make You Smile"....I mostly do mixed media so I think this workshop might be a challenge for me.
Wow -wow-and wow Shane--I can't wait to get mine.
ReplyDeleteHi Shane, I thought it's probably also because in summer people are not so often spending their time on the computer... How are you? Did you have a nice summer (or winter??) My boy is fine, he's now 19 months old, time goes by so quickly...
ReplyDeleteLove, Chani

What a wonderful idea -- these are beautiful! Especially love that last photo!
ReplyDeleteHi Shane,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me and you asked what was in the Laduree box, a very sweet candle in a pink porcelain dish. I have shown it on my blog before.
About the fair, I do not think I will be going, as it is poring with rain and I have had a nasty cough for the past four days, so want to get over it.
Hope that you are having a lovely weekend
Carolyn

HI Shane,
ReplyDeletewhile blogging I found your beautiful blog... that's amazing, because I love NZ and I am always happy to read something about your country and the people who are so lucky living there...
Nice greetings from Germany,
Claudia
Hi Shane,
ReplyDeleteI found you on Freda's blog and was attracted by your blog name, so came over to visit. I collect vintage linens too, not so much laces, but I do have a few lace items.
It must be Paper Napkins Year or something, because lately I've been finding heaps of craft projects using napkins. I've swapped bundles of napkins with other people too, and have amassed a lovely collection. Don't know what I'll do with them yet, but I'm happy to just look at them and make plans in my mind!
Thanks for sending me though
ReplyDeletethat is very sweet of you.
Hug.
