Annual Half-Scale Swap; A to Z Blog Challenge 24

This year's swap:


My items, last year's swap


Continuing on the A to Z Blog Challenge - getting that P in here for SwaP. (* Back to Day 1. Click photos for full image.) 

Been doing this for years and it's always fun getting the box of hand-made items from the annual Half-Scale Swap. Members of the half-scale group on Groups IO do such a great job! (* Click photos for full size.)

Here's last year's Kitschy swap and links to previous swaps.

There's usually a theme as a suggestion, but everyone can make what they want. This year the theme was general, but I at least make whatever comes to mind at the time. I already have next year's idea and was lucky to find the components at the dollhouse show! 

Hopefully I didn't mix up names as I unwrapped these for photos.

Coffee table - Paula W

Round rugs - Emily M. (she has a great HS house collection. Check out her blog.)
