Tea Swap has Arrived!

so, it turns out that the Knitters Tea Swap is the best swap going. I came home last night to find a large box had arrived in the mail. Now, I was expecting a large box from UPS filled with birthday presents for the boy, but the second box was a mystery and it was addressed to me - not the birthday boy. then i saw the address label and saw that it was from my swap partner and I couldn't hardly believe that I would get something in that large of a box.

things were really going my way, and i had 15 minutes of time all alone in the house in which to open this up. all alone. no sharing or explaining to do. and look at what was inside that box:
I'll break it down for you:
  • Yarn treat - two skeins of lovely Patons SWS - soy wool stripe in my favorite colors. It feels a bit similar to the bamboo that i just used for Clapotis and i think it might make a lovely scarf for winter.
  • Tea Treat - all sorts of teas from Sip for the Cure, to samples from her favorite shop, a box of lady grey (perfect for my office stash!) and a bag of loose Rosebud tea. which i'm testing out as i type...
  • The treat for eating was a lovely box of cookies with jam in the center.
  • then there was still more! Two yummy candles
  • a coloring book and crayons for the boy
  • very thoughtful breast self-exam information as September is Breast Cancer Awareness month
  • and best of all -- a holder for my circular needles, which i was in desperate need of

A big thank you to my pal who really made an extra-super-special effort. Thank you!

I am so glad that you enjoyed the package. I hope you find some new teas that you like as well. I can't wait to see what you make with the yarn (I liked it so much I got some for myself as well in a different colorway).

Happy B-Day to your son. Tee hee, I am glad I included something for him as the package arrived on his birthday. Whooda thunk it???
