So, first of all, Betty thinks was the best swap ever…
@chameleonhound made my sweet/ asshole cat very happy. Once she covered the back office of the bike shop in the smell of catnip, she was very pleased…
But there was also stuff for me!!!
The pouch will be the new home for my pruning shears and the sharpener for them! I love it! Look at the details (I seriously love the cat in the plants fabric! This is so Betty!):
The cactus is now hanging in my studio, which definitely needs some more garden vibes.
And seeds!
I will be planting some of these on my next sunny morning before work…
Thank you for swapping with me @chameleonhound !!!

Catnip! How purr-fect! I am glad she got a gift too. She looks like she loves it.
The zippered pouch is fantastic. The cross-stitch on it is incredible! I love bees, and that’s really cool!

Yay, I’m glad you like it all!
How fantastic that the cat in the fabric matches Betty - I was actually trying to be sneaky and find a picture of her so I could make something with an appropriately colored kitty on it but couldn’t find one, so this is especially great! I’m glad she likes the catnip too, our kitty couldn’t care less and it’s everywhere in our garden.
I suspected you’d have a good use for a pouch, love that it’s already in action!

I lurked around this and didn’t join now I’m kicking myself! Lovely package, so personal and perfect!

I received my package from @Reese52 today! Any stray soil on the apron is all my fault since I took it for a test drive before thinking of taking a group photo.
Detail on the pocket:
It has three deep pockets and is perfect for lugging around seed packets and tools. I really like the button centers of the flowers.
I also received a fun storage box for seed organisation. It was a cigar box in a previous life. Love the upcycling!
Sad before picture:
Thank you so much! I haven’t tried the colourful treats yet, but I look forward to it!

Glad it made it to you safely. I was afraid it would get lost since it was international shipping.

I received today from @MamaRhi!
In this sweet package were a painted planter (and I know just the plant to rehome), some yummy hand cream to soothe the gardening hands, and a beautiful bee hoop! She also sent a note on stationary with a print of stunning painting she did of a wolf spider from the backyard.
Here’s everything together:
On this side there appears to be a gnome peeking through the window 
I wonder who would use the tiny door on the side?
I love that we each did a bee cross stitch for the other!
Thank you!

You are very welcome! I love that we both did bee cross stitches too!
I kept thinking the tiny door was ladybug sized…

I received my package, but unfortunately it was somehow open and whatever was inside was lost during transit. Whatever was wrapped up in the bubble wrap is gone 
. I hope my partner @Annchen took photos to share here. This is all that was left. I think it was a stamp of some kind and a necklace, according to the letter enclosed and there was supposed to be some swedish candies.

Oh no 
that really sucks. Seems all the goodies fell out. I have some pictures but no group picture.
I made a set of stamps that could be combined in different manners. The bubble wrap held some pens to use instead of stamp pads, but I guess they could have easily slid out if the envelope opened too. I made some stamp impressions to decorate the storage container and I guess that container is what made the envelope too thick to survive shipping. I’m so sorry!

That’s too bad! Those stamps are awesome! Oh well…
