Christmas In July Pin Keep Swap

Lookit what arrived in the mail today! This snowman is the darling pin keep that I received in Ravenwood Whimzies' Christmas In July Pin Keep Swap. He is mounted on a wooden spool. Also included are two vintage items: a red ticking napkin and red crocheted little cap, another pin keep in a vintage metal muffin cup (with buttons inside), and the adorable little mouse in a green homespun dress. My Swap partner was Heather from: The Country Schoolmarm Blog. All of these goodies are just too cute. 'Love, love them all. Thank you so much Heather. Be sure to visit and follow Heather's blog. To see the pin keep that I made for her, visit her blog and continue reading.


Here is the pin keep that I made for Heather. This mouse sits atop a round wooden box with "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" stenciled on the front. The box is filled with sewing notions. This darling pattern is from: Happy Heart Patterns. The little quilted snowmen red & green mug rug was also included, plus a pair of small embroidery scissors. Sending many thanks to our host, Wendy of: Ravenwood Whimzies Blog. Don't you just love Christmas in July, and pin keeps?
