THE MOST WONDERFUL SWAP WITH MY DEAR FRIEND MARIE!

Some time before christmas my dear sweet friend MARIE from Lost Bird Studio, and I 
desided to wait till after christmas with our gifts for each other, and
therefore they became a spring-swap.

You can visit Marie, to see what I created for her !!!

This beautiful giftbag was what I found when opening
the packet from Marie- Isen`t it gorgeous,with the lovely
charms ! The D ,for Dorthe and the key, that she so lovely altered.


And inside...Oh sorry I jumped to open the gifts,so no photoes of the 
adorable wrappings.- but look at this sweetest charm, with my Mathilde
on one side - Marie asked for a photo and this one fitted perfectly inside.


The other side shows Marie`s wonderful mini collage,
. I so love it  and the heart you added . And it is around my neck  :-)


And oh my heart skipped when I found this gorgeous wristcuf ,- I have alwayes wanted
a charm wristcuf and this is the most beautiful one, I could ever wish for.
See the soldered charm, that Marie dearly made for me, and all the 
sweet french items attached,-I am so in love with this ,dear friend.


As if this wasen`t enough Marie also spoiled me with  a lovely tag, and the paper
spool with wonderful seambinding, and the brooch.


Some lovely napkins,old numbers,another brooch ,and ....


these wonderful embossing  folders -see how sweet there is a little charm on everything-


I am so thankful for all your gorgeous gifts to me, my dear Marie-
and I feel blessed with your friendship, thankyou from my heart for everything!


Today the weather have been so beautiful, and I had to take a walk to the beach,
where I found a lot of swans, on the quiet sea, they were unfortunately not
real near me, but I think you can see, and feel the lovely flat sea, and
them enjoying swimming in the sun.


Thankyou to all new followers, you are very appreciated and welcome-
And thank`s to all that visits my blog,-you are such sweet friends.

Love and hugs,
Dorthe

Our sweet Marie has sent you such gorgeous gifts, dearest Dorthe. It's such a cute picture of Mathilde and looks great in the frame. The charm bracelet is very beautiful and I love the French theme. Both, the gift bag and the tag are lovely too and the other goodies are wonderful. Enjoy, sweetie! I loved the gifts you've sent to Marie and Suzy very much as well. Your dolls are always delightful and your other gifts were gorgeous too.

Your swap presents are just wonderful. Marie creates such beautiful things. I especially love the little charm with your beautiful granddaughter's photo.
Lovely to see the swans in the photo you shared. We are waiting for our own to come back - but the lake is still frozen. Soon though - spring is here!

Oh those lovely swans on the beautiful blue sea Dorthe ... what a delight it must be to walk there and breath the sea air!

Oh Dorthe! Didn't our dear friend, Marie, send you the most thoughtful and special gifts with dear little Mathilde in mind in that very sweet pendant with attached heart charm.
The French style charm braclet is so beautiful too and all the other little extras in such a beautiful bag.
She is such a sweet hearted and talented woman and I too feel so honoured to receive such beautiful gifts from her also.
I am sure she is enjoying each and every heartfelt gift from you too sweetie!
Oh I hope those swans stay a while so you can enjoy the beauty of viewing them on the ocean and sky of blue!
Love you dear friend and sending thoughtful hugs,
Suzy

wow, she really spoiled you :) I'm sure you had the biggest smile when you opened the package. Also thank you for sharing the photo of the beach, it's so nice to see where my blogfriends live. Where I live we actually have so many swans here that it's becoming a plague. They love the countryside here with all the farm grounds and lots of ditches.
Hugs and wonderful day, Wendy
