We are closing out our
By now, everyone should be mailing
and receiving their finished pinnies.
As the "swap mama" I had the luxury
of choosing my partner,
and I selected the lovely and talented
Beverly, of golfingbev on Flickr.
Look what came in the mail for me,
courtesy of Beverly!
There is so much goodness in here,
starring the most adorable...

There was something old...vintage feedsacks!

that leave me breathless.
Check out her photostream, and you will see what I mean!
