mellow + yellow swap

i'm pretty sure marta and i read each other's minds because we both gave each other presents (for the gift swap that she organized) that the other had been secretly pining over. what a fortuitous match!

some fyi's:

1/ in the interest of becoming better friends, marta asked if she could interview me. i delightfully consented.

2/ you can see all the other amazing and creative gifts exchanged through the swap by going here.

3/ marta has amazing handwriting.

4/ and let me just say that she took some stunning photos of the gifts i sent her! the lighting is so beautiful. so beautiful!

i mentioned my swap partner to my sister, and ever the musical lover, she responded: "i'm marta and i'm going to be seven on tuesday and i'd like a pink parasol." "pink is my favorite color too." (i'm sure marta is fully aware of the reference.)
