Whimsy Jars........

Who doesn't love a little bit of whimsy coming their way? I got a big dose of it twice last week and it was wonderful! I played along in Jessica's Whimsy Jar swap and my two great partners sent me the cutest jars......
The first one I got was from Deb....http://garagesalegal.blogspot.com

Olivia and I were all excited to open the box and see what was inside....













and then inside the jar look at the goodies!














and a cute little altered matchbox with my favorite little trinket...A M' typewriter key.....













Deb sent me some chocolate candy from her home state too, but I can't show them... we ate them right away....Thank you Deb for putting such a beautiful jar together for me.....(and Olivia)

Then, a couple of days ago, I got a jar from Bridget who doesn't have a blog yet....I say yet, cause I think she needs one....I told her I like pink and black and look at this!









She made the jar top a pincushion....I love it and the colors! Inside it was filled with beads and buttons and treasures....Olivia laid her claim to the beads and sorted them out and squirreled them away. I can't show what I can't find but here is the stuff I guarded from her grubs.....
















My favorites in this jar are the vintage white handkerchief and the tiny little thread spools...they are doll size and I cant wait to use them for some kind of project....Right now both jars are my centerpiece on our kitchen table...They are so sweet I have to show them off.......
I hadn't done my jars yet, because I could'nt find any little ones....we went to an estate sale yesterday and I found two antique ball jars in the perfect size. I had so much fun last night making them up for the ladies..... I did Bridgets in pinks.....















The wire holder across the top of the jar works great for tying things too....
Then I did Deb's in blues and gold.....Her jar is two sided cause I tied some tags to the back too....














These are going to go in the mail Monday ladies....I wont show the insides, that way it is still a surprise....Thanks again Bridget and Deb for a really fun and whimsical jar swap!
