My Summertime Journal Arrived, oh my it is so incredible.

Remember my post about the Summertime Journal that Pam http://fluffandfinery.blogspot.com/ hosted,  well my package arrived from my partner and it is so incredible and unique! I am totally in awe of it. Trust me the photos do not do this treasure any justice, wish you could see it in real.

Okay ready for all things pretty, here we go

Look what I found when I opened the box.

Isn't it wonderful, beautifully wrapped in Avery's fav color of seaglass silk, not sure why the pic didn't show the true color but you will see it below, with the yummy vintage lace and button.

Here is the awesome box cover that holds my journal, the cover slides off so gorgeous and this is the true color of the silk wrapping.

Don't you love the quote, so true!

Look what I found when I took the cover off. Well the ribbon was tied, but I like it dangling for the pic and look at all her beautiful embellisments and beading.

A Close-up

This is the back page that is attached to the box, the journal is in the box, never to be unattached, it is just so beautiful and unique, see the sewing, the feather and the sweet pocket.

next page, every page has a pocket, embellished with beautiful old buttons and eggs.

more pages and pockets.

I love the paper that she used, this last page is full of paper, stamped with the birdie for me to write on.

EEK!!! The back is amazing, I love it. See the bottom of the box. Isn't it odd that we both love white, off white, the color of seaglass, pretty ribbons, vintage lace, beautiful handmade necklaces, all things vintage and I find it really weird that both of our journals are accordian style. Hmmmm!!!! The perfect match.

Here is the complete back, oh so pretty.

Now let's go back to a close-up of the first pocket page I showed you. Can you believe that Avery made me this gorgeous necklace and put it in the pocket. Oh my gosh, it is just incredible. She had sent me a few photos of her work and I was swooning over it. I never imagined that I would actually get a piece in my journal! What a treasure. Look at the setting it is just amazing! I am not sure if Avery has an Etsy shop or not, I think she just sells at little shops. Will have to find out.

Tag out of pocket holding this precious piece.

And look, she even sent me this Calligraphy set to write in my journal with. I have always wanted to do Calligraphy but never tried it, now I have no excuse.

I am a lucky, lucky girl! I am so happy I joined Pam's swap and got to meet Avery. She has incredible talent and is such a dear, sweet lady. Avery, we need you to start that blog so all of us can share in your amazing talent. Thank you so much for blessing me with these beautiful treasures.
