Swap with Rachel

I sent her this set and some things really Portuguese. You can see all at her blog Tigerluxe! And she sent me all this! So many, many stickers... A little toy bear and gummy bears! Down below I describe the other things...

I must confess I was the one who proposed the swap because I love the dolls she does, the kokeshi Girls. After the first time I saw them at Rachel's blog, I did a Google research and I found out that they are from Japan... They look like Plymobil's dolls!

May I introduce you Suki and Gueisha... And I had asked for only one! Gueisha was painted specially for me, with my favourite colours, and it brought a fan with her! Awsome details! They came wrapped in handmade paper and sealed with butterfly stickers (How did she guess that I lobe butterflies?). This came inside a cloth bag with their names and a kind of a Japanese symbol stamped on it. Just beautiful! One of the bags even had a heart charm with Tigerluxe's symbol attached to it!

And the surprise I loved the most because it's tiny but really beautiful! It's a cell phone pendant. She hadn't a name so I called her Catarina. She reminds me of the women in Alentejo (a region in the south of Portugal) who went to work in the fields... And Catarina Eufémia was a Portuguese women from Alentejo who fought for freedom... Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...And a letter written in a very cute paper. That's it, a very special swapl! Thank you, Rachel!
