T 4 2....and DUST Craft Swap

Now that the pressure of Blogtoberfest is off I haven't blogged for a few days - but keeping up with my Tuesday commitment to dust off a teapot , we are back on track with T42 Tuesday.

Last week I showed you a couple of storybook teapots - The pinocchio being one of my favourites, and I also said how I really wanted to add some more storybook ones to my collection....Well, look what turned up in the post today!

The Alice In Wonderland Sadler Teapot from the Storybook Collection

The detail in these pots are just fabulous - look at the little teapot painted on the spout

And on top , another little teapot sitting on a book - it is just so cute

Now , that is not all that turned up in the post today - I participated in the DUST craft-swap again last month , this is my fourth one and I have had such fantastic swap partners.

This time I was partnered with Pia from Giantshoots and she sent me two of her tote bags which have been screenprinted with her own designs.

THE SLAVE and SHOPPING BY NUMBERS

SHOPPING BY NUMBERS is functional and helpful when you shop, as it lists all the common preservatives in your food by number and the problems that they can cause to your health - Great Idea Pia - Thanks :0)

Dust Team Craft Swap -

This month I participated in my second craft-swap with the lovely Dust Team (Australian Etsy Sellers). I was lucky enough to be partnered with the wonderfully talented Julie Blanchette who has made for me the most amazing bag. It is just so Me! She has chosen some very fruity looking beach babe fabric which is so bright and fun....but wait what is that in the side pocket??

It is one of Julie's adorable hand dyed and felted pocket gnomes which she has embroidered my name on. She is just so special and I will treasure both of these items forever, thankyou so much Julie - my generous and talented swap partner and new friend.....

And yes, I have signed up for the next round of swaps - they are just so much fun.....
