Seeing how the ravelry thread got archived…. I’m sharing with anyone who will read this they bestest swap package in all the world!
Ta-Dah!
How awesome is this?
I arrived home on Monday with this totally neat printed box with Amsterdam written in several places! I couldn’t wait to get home from the post office to open it up! The enclosed letter was perfect and I enjoyed reading it while building up even more anticipation and wondering what could possible be hidden below the screaming blue tissue paper that was calling my name! Everything inside was simply perfect.
The first thing I saw were the pens- and all I could do is smile! No boring blue or black in for me! The tea filter was next to catch my eye- I am so glad you thought ahead – as I would have no idea what to do with loose tea. But now I am excited to try! I love the blue and white knick-knacks you enclosed- they will sit happily among my shelf and I will smile when I see them. I’m a binder clip junkie and those you enclosed will find there way onto one of many stacks
The glove pattern is totally me- though I have never knit fingers.. but do have experience with thumbs. 
I think the hardest part will be decide which 2 – four letter words shall be stitched on each hand!
Last and not least- the Manos Silk Blend is the most absolutely perfect color for fall in New England. I want to make something totally selfish and just for me out of it so I can enjoy the color and feel!
They say that good thing are worth the wait… and surely this package makes me believe in this even more!
