Lookie What I Gots!

If you’re a “ blover” (That’s blog lover, btw) and you haven’t met Kristin at Vignettes, it is past due time, Reader-Friends. She has an UH-mazing blog brimming with recipes, décor inspiration, blogging advice, beautiful photographs, giveaways galore, and a sweetie personality! When I visit her blog, I feel like a guest at an adorable grown-up tea party, and let me tell you, she is totally the “hostess with the mostest”! Speaking of hosting, that’s just what she did! Kristin hosted a Fall Friendship Swap at her blog where “blovers” were randomly paired to exchange boxes of fall goodness with each other. I participated this year and I am so glad I did!
The perks?
-The overwhelmingly happy spirit of putting together a box of all things Fall!
-The anticipation and excitement of getting a package of goodies in the mail!
-The opportunity to make a fabulous new friend! And yes, she is indeed fabulous! So much so that I want you to meet her too!

Meet my new friend Aliesha  here, Reader-Friends!
She sent:
-Autumn leaves and pinecones to decorate with
-Plush pumpkins and the cutest little owl I have ever seen
-Apple Cinnamon Crisp Hand Sanitizer
-Tissues in Autumn brown pouch for the runny nose weather
-A spiced cinnamon pumpkin scented candle
-Caramel Truffle coffee
-Gift tags
-Hair clip
And drumroll please….
-PUMPKIN Hershey kisses!!! I had no idea they even made them, and now I have a brand new addiction!!!

I should have taken a picture of the whole box before I dove in like a kid on Christmas, but I was too excited and I felt that I could NOT wait to give each item a home. I’m going to do a little multi-tasking and show you the things Aliesha sent to me, as well as my fall décor since many of her gifts added a little “spice” to what I already put out.
This guy’s name is Winston.

Do you see my acorns in the mason jar? I talked about being inspired to do that in this post.
And here is the rest of the goodies!

Aliesha, you are a doll! Thank you so much for making my Fall even better! Your package came right at midterms, so believe me when I say these happies are just what I needed!
Hope you join in all the fun next year, Reader-Friends!
