I got my summer swap!

I received a most wonderful swap package...

Thank you so much to my mystery swapper - I got my box of goodies on Thursday, although the post man did try to deliver them on Wednesday, so my apologies for not posting prior to this. And it's clear that she's gone out of her way to personalize this gift for me, and I love it all!

I got :

• A huge really funky be-jewelled brooch with lime & turquoise bling on it - I love this and have worn it out already :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!!


• A wax butterfly scented with Lush Karma - one of my favourite perfumes :) - which I assume is to scent my room. It's been tied to the wardrobe doors with the ribbon it came with :) How did you make this??


• Isle of Eden shower milkshake in Lime Ice with Cucumber and Mint (that definitely counts as summery!)


• A chunky new novel - perfect for reading on the plane as I'm going on holiday on Thursday!


• A personalised bookmark with my (real) name sewn on - beautiful!


• SBS Teas Aztec Gold - really looking forward to this as I haven't tried their cocoa yet!


• A handful of lollipops


• A box of chamomile, honey and vanilla herbal tea


• Handmade soap in "Lift Me Up" from Purple Sparkle Crafts - smells of roses, which I love in non-perfume form, so this is perfect. Might take this on my handbag on Thursday to wash my hands with at the airport; it's amazing what nice smells while travelling will do to keep you cheerful!)

I have phone camera footage of the goodies, but I'm having trouble getting my phone to talk to my computer :roll eyes:

Thank you very very much summer swap fairy - I will be enjoying several of your gifts on my holiday later this week - perfect summer presents! :)

You didn't really give me any clues to guess who you are, so go on, reveal yourself!

And many many thanks to emma2403 for organising this again :)

Sorry, I am totally spamming this community at the minute I know!
I just got this e-mail;

"Here's a discount code to kick off the season! Worth 20% off EVERYTHING in the store, even stuff already on sale. And yes, you may use it in combination with the Penny Tiki soap as long as your order before the code totals $50 or more.
Code is: happyhalloween
expires Sept 3rd at Midnight."

I dont want to / dont have time / really cant be bothered to run a group order myself - but would be very interested in ordering from a group order. la_colere  has ran orders from there before - I never participated but I believe they were successful...
