Who doesn't love a swap?!

I wanted to show you all this yummy party hat and hanging collage I got in a little swap with Mel at Little Melfie's Studio. She makes fabulous creations with fabulous materials and I couldn't resist her party hats!

I'm keeping it under a tall cloche on my living room end table alongside a floral frog with old photos of my sweet grandfather and an awesome paper weight I found for a Lincoln at a flea market in NYC.

This adorable little girl holds a flag with a "C" for Crystal! I love aqua and turquoise (the most difficult color to spell) and she incorporated them perfectly!

She almost looks like my little sister when she's pouty... :)

And she sent this pretty hanging collage as a surprise!! Thank you so much Mel! It's hanging on the mirror in my hallway. I asked Ben if he liked it thinking he would say it's too girly, but he looked at it, thought for a second and said "Yeah...actually I do". What a compliment for Mel! :)
