“The monster is me and I am the monster.”
I was like....
As you probably already know by now, I recently participated in a Book Swap and I want to show you the wonderful box that I received - all the way from Richard's Bay.
Firstly, the box itself is gorgeous! And it was BIG!! Black and silver are both classic colours by themselves, but this combination is elegant and ambiguous, being both masculine and feminine simultaneously!
I think I wasted an entire 10 minutes just staring at the box and loving it, lol.
The first thing in the box was a spoiler card designed entirely by Jill herself. So pretty!
So, as you can see, this box was jam packed with goodies!
Side note: At this point I should tell you that Jill actually curated this box around Siege And Storm by Leigh Bardugo...but since I bought myself the trilogy box set, she had to replace the book in a hurry - I am so sorry, Jill, my love - I really wasn't thinking...
"Fine, make me your villain" Darkling inspired mug and art print - designed by Jillian just for me; I love mugs and this went straight into my cupboard with the rest of my mug collection!
"Sun Summoner" inspired bath bomb - this thing is big; I don't know how it smells because I didn't open it... Also, even though I seem to be collecting a considerable amount of bath products, I don't actually have a bath in my house, only a shower. We had the bath removed over 10 years ago when my Mother lost her legs, due to Diabetes, and a wheelchair became her only mode of transport....
Set of 3 home made Bookmarks : "Summoner", "Soldier" & "Saint" - these are simply too gorgeous for words!
“I don't like that word," Nina said, advancing. "Call me Grisha. Call me zowa. Call me death, if you like.”
King of Scars inspired Quote print and hand written letter - these were added after Jill had to change the book; art print designed by Jill.
DIY Stag Horn Craft - this has to be my favouritest item in this box!! Jill knows I enjoy some crafting and DIY, so she added this specifically!! It is almost like a 3D puzzle and spent an enjoyable almost an hour putting this together.
And, of course, last but certainly not least - the book!!! It was so prettily wrapped in gold paper, I almost didn't want to open it... King Of Scars by Leigh Bardugo
A beautifully put together #SABookSwap box by my awesome swap partner Jill Aslett (https://www.instagram.com/jillaslett/ )from Richard's Bay - do go visit her on Instagram and give her a follow; she's awesome!
The second book swap is taking place in July and I cannot wait to find out who I get partnered with this time around... the theme is "#Loadshedding Survival Kit" and I already have the book and half the box planned...
Until next time...
Keep smiling
