Isn't that a funny title ? Well if not, at least it gives you the hint who my exchange partner was...
Kerry had commented on my last exchange post that she will be interested in a exchange if time is suitable in future. Well who thought I will get the opportunity so soon...travel to London for work.
We decided to keep the exchange a simple one with only one cross stitched item, which of course was a biscornu. E-mails were exchanged to understand each other's likes and dislikes and we were set for the exchange.
Here is what I received from Kerry. A big box of goodies all individually wrapped up in this lovely floral paper....Look at what she sent me
A postcard and magnet from where she lives, chocolate, DMC variegated threads,loads of hand made jewellery: a bracelet, ear rings, key ring and a book mark. She let me choose the cover kits you see in the pic which she was giving away, how thoughtful of her. The biscornu is amazing , a peacock themed pattern - perfect for me . The personalization with our names is lovely . I like the use of metallic thread as well.
Kerry I didn't know you are such a talented jewellry maker apart from being a biscornu expert. I have never seen such a bookmark before.
Thank you so much, the goodies will be treasured and put to good use.
A picture of the biscornu I made using some of her favourite colors.
It was so much fun participating in an exchange with you Kerry.. I hope we do more in future.

Haha, I guessed straight away who the exchange was with! I love that she put both your names on the biscornu too. The one you made is beautiful too. A great exchange.
