Vintage Vacation Swap

My first swap.

And I was so very excited.

(if you haven't noticed, I get excited a lot)

I was paired up with the sweetest person,

Shannon @ Quilting in pinks, bulldogs at my side

If you've not met her yet, please stop by and say, "Hello."

So I put together a few things,

(she's already received her package so it's okay to share)

I decided to take Shannon to the mountains on her vacation.

To Wyoming.

This is the Grand Teton, in Grand Teton National Park.

Way up high, a rushing stream flows by

a resting place for climbers and hikers.

I sent her a vintage photo

of my husband's grandparents

on their honeymoon.

They went to a mountain lake

and fished.

Too cute, right?

Inside this is a beautiful blue Teton tourist plate.

Sorry, I forgot to take a pic before I wrapped it up.

I also forgot to take a pic of the cookbook I sent to her;

New West Cuisine

Inside are recipes from some of the best known restaurants in the Mountain West.

Some of my favorite places:

Brooks Lake Lodge

&

The Bunnery

There were recipes for things like peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.

Which I baked and sent to her

(after taste testing a few - dozen, of course)

Every vacationer needs a little journal

to write down memories

so here is Shannon's

And no vacation would be complete without a place to put special treasures found.

A little knitted treasure bag.

Everything was wrapped up:

And tucked away in a box,

With some goodies for her crafting,

And most important,

a little something for her special bulldogs,

Zoey and Annabelle

 And sent off.

Hope you enjoyed your vacation, Shannon! 

(Shannon, I just heard from Hubby
my box has arrived and is waiting for me
to get home later today. Yeah!!)
