I love wandering around the cozy corners of the blogosphere and discovering spots like Kristin’s Vignettes; it’s exactly the type of warm, inviting blog I like to frequent when I’m de-stressing on my lunch break.
When I noticed Kristin was hosting a Fall Friendship Swap — a chance to connect with other bloggers and send/receive a package of fun autumn-inspired loot — I was in. I’m all about these blogger-connecting events, you know? I look forward to the Book Blogger Holiday Swap every year (and that’s how I “met” Andi)!
My partner was the lovely and talented Katie at Dusty Window Panes, a young lady who shares my passion for caffeinated beverages and photography, and I’ve enjoyed getting to “know” her since we were paired up in September! My package arrived last week bearing delicious Trader Joe’s pumpkin bread and muffin mix; green kitchen towels; awesome lavender and honey Lollia hand cream; vanilla soap; and two pieces of home decor that will be going straight in my boyfriend’s windowsill!
Thank you so much, Katie, for the thoughtful gifts — and thanks for organizing, Kristin! Hoping everyone is having a fun and fabulous fall.
Wow, I bet that was a fun package to open!!
Thanks for alerting me to some new blogs. Your package looks like fun. Happy fall Miss Meg!
So much fun! All that stuff just makes me feel warm…oh sorry, no, that is the freaking 90 degree sun. Fall needs to get here NOW. I love the Holiday Swap too, and have had some real good matches in the past, including Trisha from Eclectic/Eccentric.
Oh my gosh! Lucky you! What a wonderfully sweet package you got from Katie. So glad you girls have enjoyed getting to know each other…that’s what it’s all about! (I totally just sang that like the Hokie Pokie in my head
) Thanks sooooo much for the shout out! Hope your day has been a good one so far Meg!
That is so awesome. I love it. What a great set of gifts.
What a lovely package! And how fun this whole idea of a swap.
That’s wonderful, you got a great box!!! I loved mine as well, swaps are so fun!
First – I love Kristin and her blog as well – always so much inspiration! Your package was soo sweet and they even sent you a pumpkin. Perfect! And was the rest little soaps? Love this swap! xo
Wow, great stuff! I bet that pumpkin bread will be fun to make! Yum
Hi Meg,
Can you also share the blog that you do the secret santa through? That sounds fun! THanks!
That box must have smelled AMAZING when you opened it. I’m so glad I decided to do the swap this year!
