Swap the Seasons, May Edition

My swap partner outdid herself again!

And I think she may really be psychic too.

You see, last Saturday I hosted a tea party for my knitting group.  I didn't mention this to anyone except those invited.  And yet, this is what showed up in the mail that day:

This beautiful teacup fits perfectly into my teacup collection, and will have pride of place.

Then on Monday, ANOTHER package arrived.  To say I was surprised would be an understatement.

Inside I found this:

The yarn is from Stricken Smitten - Shimmer Glimmer in the "Serendipity" colorway.

I.

Love.

This.

Yarn.

It's soft and smooshy, has fantastic sheen, and the color is simply stunning.  This color of green is why green is one of my very favorite colors.

It also had a package of Mighty Leaf Tea in Green Tea Passion.  YUMMY!  It smelled so good, and tasted even better.

So, as you see, I have been utterly spoiled.  Thank you so much swap partner!  And you have excellent taste.

Swap the Seasons, April Edition (okay, it's May, but let's pretend, hmm..)

As I mentioned before, I'm participating in the Swap the Seasons Swap being hosted by CoggieTM of the High Fiber Diet Podcast.

Since it's a secret swap, we don't know who is swapping to us, and my swap partner is very clever.

She created an identity for the swap: Ima Sekret, complete with fake profile.  She also sent her first package directly from the vendor, so I have no idea where she's at.

But on April 19, when I opened my mailbox, there was a package.  And when I opened the box, this is what I saw:

When I saw that the return address was for Wee Ones, I got VERY excited.  You see, I've admired the stitch markers they make for so long now, but had a hard time indulging myself.  The selection she made was PERFECT!

Four adorable Boxer stitch markers!  They are so cute -- even having little paws painted on the bottom!  I am so grateful to Ima Sekret for these lovely stitch markers, and for the thought and effort she put into making such a perfect choice.

Thank you so much!
