Autumn Swap continuation...

from my last post (Masquarade 10/31/08) and (Autumn in Paris 11/01/08) i couldn't download some pics of this awesome swap i'm participating in...finally, here are those pics i promised for Sofia Barao's Autumn Swap:

my partner has such a powerful mind...every thought means something and for the past few weeks i truly have been reading their on-line journal with passion...every post is like a very good novel, you just can't stop reading it. there's so much i've already learned because of the wisdom that soule has put out into the world. i wanted to send so many things...to comfort, to give a sense of peacefulness...just to enjoy the simple things in life...so here goes, i surely hope this kind spirit will enjoy these lil' treasures as much as i loved finding them for this inspirational soule...
this amazing person loves chocolate, tea and has magnificent tastes in novels.

reading is one of this individual's favourite pastime...

hmmm....this book was oozing with magnificence...wish i could've snagged a copy for myself...hmmm...

i saw this sweet pattern and felt such a warmth about it...i'm hoping this kindred spirit will be able to use it...

these are somethings my partner absolutely enjoys...

brrrr...it's getting a bit nippy out there, hoping my partner can use this to pour a cuppa yumminess...

mmmmmm...one favourite flavour...

who wouldn't love to take a huge bite out of this?!
so perfect with a cup of tea...

can you guess what's in the upper righthand corner...mmmm

hoping my lil' box of sunshine will brighten your day...connecting with you through Sofia's Autumn Swap surely brought more wisdom+sweetness into my life-merci!...thank you, Sofia, for hosting such a creative and unique swap... for more gorgeous pics of sweet Autumn Swap presents...go here!

looking so forward to see what surprises await in my mailbox this week...until next time...

bonne nuit...

xoxo jo ;)
