Merry Go Round: Make and Swap!

This month we agreed we should make something for each other... I think we would have all liked to do this for Christmas, but we found ourselves busy and decided to hold off until the Spring and so... here we are!

The very talented Mitsy of MindArt - http://artmind-etcetera.blogspot.com/ made me my present.

So imagine... I'm waiting for the post lady to come and pick up my bags of post for the day and when I heard a knock at the door, I was quiet surprised to be receiving something when I got to the door... 'I hadn't ordered anything', I thought! I closed the door and went to sit down, already tugging at the corners of the padded envelope... and I discover the most beautiful lime green package... and I remember, 'ah Mitsy's gift!'

I'm careful to peel back the paper... and as I already knew Mitsy is a ceramisist, I became more and more intrigued to find out what was inside... 'wait a minute'... 'what are all of these tiny packages?' I unwrap more and more packaging, feeling like a child at a birthday party... you know where they sit you down and play music while you pass this oversized gift around... occasionally it stops near you, just close enough for you to feel the excitement of the kid next to you who was luck enough to tear open a layer of wrapping... but still no clue... Then, I spy the fine fingers of clay have been embossed with lettering.

I'm in a frenzy now... I recognise herb names and one by one I reveal herb tag for my garden!

They are beautiful... Thank you Mitsy, I am so touched that you made these for me... my garden shall wear them with pride!

If you would like some of Mitsy's tags, do visit her blog at http://artmind-etcetera.blogspot.com/ for the shop links.
