Faith Hope and Charity Swapping linky post

 I think everyone should have now received their swap goodies in the Faith Hope and Charity Shopping Swap, and if I say so myself it appeared to be a resounding success! If you haven't yet done a post on what you received from your partner - please do consider doing so. [I'm nosy]

A few people suggested doing a linky post so we could all share what we received / sent, so if you have posted on it, you can link up here so everyone can have a look.

Amy at Blighty Boutique has received her parcel from me now, so I can show you what I sent her.


ceramic fruit menu/place card holders in a china dish 
(possibly for holding a bottle of wine?)
Amy runs a vintage market, so I thought these could hold price labels/descriptions
Bought from Brighton junk shop


Floral china trinket box - Amy likes florals and pastels
Bought from Watford charity shop

Home made scented candle in vintage tea-cup

A for Amy wooden letter by Emily Readett-Bailey

Vintage Advertising Mirror - Found in basement of Brick Lane vintage shop
Combines Amy's loves of old advertising and dogs!

Handmade bead and vintage scarf bracelet
Bought new from Spitalfields Market

You'll notice I was naughty and sent 6 items instead of 5, but I'd bought the mirror in the hope I'd be able to clean it up more than I was able to to. I couldn't get rid of all the grime, but thought Amy might as well have it anyway. As it turned out, she loved it in spite of its rather pre-loved look - phew!

Look out for news of another swap at Christmas, similar rules, but with added bells!

Please see post below for 300 follower giveaway!

    PS - thanks for the kind comment you left for me on my 'return' post, meant a lot! Thanks x (and yes, I do know them in real life which makes it all the more annoying!! Not a great deal I can do about it, I tried changing my blog, but 'lost' everyone, so 'she' won in a way, which is why I re-opened!)

  26. Those card holders are ingenious and such a thoughtful gift for a market seller:)). Candle in tea cup and saucer? Simply gorgeous! I didn't complain to the seller about the dress coz I just couldn't be arsed and knew I'd give it the chop as I really liked the print on the fabric:) xoxo

  29. Just came across your blog - via a route I now can't recall. Love, love your blog - 'bake cake because you like eating it' - I know that feeling! Your swap sounds like a great idea too. Would love to push my nose into the next one!

  30. Are you tired of being human, having talented brain turning to a vampire in a good posture in ten minutes, Do you want to have power and influence over others, To be charming and desirable, To have wealth, health, without delaying in a good human posture and becoming an immortal? If yes, these your chance. It's a world of vampire where life get easier,We have made so many persons vampires and have turned them rich, You will assured long life and prosperity, You shall be made to be very sensitive to mental alertness, Stronger and also very fast, You will not be restricted to walking at night only even at the very middle of broad day light you will be made to walk, This is an opportunity to have the human vampire virus to perform in a good posture.
