Swapping across the pond

These wonderful gifts are from Margie of Margie's Little Blue House in the United Kingdom.  You see alot of swaps that ask if you would ship international.  I must admit I didn't know what the cost was.  When Margie joined my Cup of Kindness Swap, I took her name (yes, I had two names).  I was afraid that others would be worried about the cost.  The cost was probably only $2 more than shipping in the US.  I got to know Margie a little better.  I asked her if there was anything she wanted from the US that she couldn't find.  She had a stamp that she had really wanted.  I was able to send that to her with her other little gifts.  She was so excited.

I was excited to receive her lovely package.  Are you all just wishing you had this tin and coffee cut........isn't it the best take on the Keep Calm theme.    And from the UK no less.  The owl is a bookmark......I love owls.  A little paper envelope that had different sleeves in it.  The sleeves held rubber stamps.  Very cute hat pins in a special made tag.  Body oil, lotion and special soap.  All things I have never seen.  Then that chocolate thingie.......oh my.  There were mini marshmallows and this big ole chocolate block that you stir into the milk to make the most delicious hot chocolate ever. Then there was the prettiest rose knitted (I think ) flower. That's a post card of where Margie lives.  Guess what, it is near where Harry Potter was from in the movie.  So if you ever doubt swapping overseas.......just go for it.  There are wonderful people over across this pond between us.  Thanks a bunch Margie.  Margie has the most beautiful little dogs.  Adorable.  She does amazing paper crafts.......you have to go see.......  http://MargiesBlueHouse.blogspot.com/
