Prayer Flag Swap -- Incoming!

Earlier I wrote about our prayer flag swap, hosted by Joanne. What fun to have the finished flags arrive! Don't they look lovely in their banner form?


It was a treat to open the envelope and see flags from both friends I knew, like Joanne (left) and Kristen Robinson (right).



I also knew Jill Ongley (left) and Brittney Young (right).



But I didn't know the artist of this one -- I think it is Kate White or Louie Shellenberger. So that was extra fun!


My banner is bracketed by two flags of mine -- Nest and Love. It was interesting that all of us chose a word for the banner. I don't remember Joanne mentioning to do that but together it brings home all the lovely parts of life -- joy, grace, nest, home, tranquility and love. It couldn't get better than that!

Thanks to my friends old and new -- your work is a wonderful addition to my home!

    So extra special to see this after viewing your pretty mini-canvases last week. The theme seems to be small but mighty.

    Good morning Jeanie! Now I love this idea....I was sent a gorgeous pennant banner years ago from a gang of Canadian friends; we were like sisters. I still have the banner of friendship, though the Canadian bloggers are no longer present in Blogland. It is so special to engage in such projects and swap.

    I think I'll make a little muslin pennant banner for my theatre!

    Happy Sunday, Anita

    So pretty! It looks great hanging on your mantel! And how cool that you all ended up using a word in your design even though that wasn't planned or encouraged!!!

    Lovely prayer flag selection and those special words do seem to fit them...extra special all strung together too!

    I still have sand in my shoes and can't quite get all the way back from the beach it seems.

    Happy October Jeanie...
