So, I've been basically on the verge of death by cold for the last week, and I've got a case of the mean reds, just like Holly Golighlty, so my partner came through at just the right time. :D
I was having a glum sniffle-filled morning as I walked from Bible class to chapel this morning, deciding to stop at the Campus Center post office on my way. Imagine my surprise, after seeing little mail for the past few weeks, when I opened up my box to find a package slip. Oh, the elation that little blue sheet of paper caused. Grinning, I ran to the office window, and actually squeeled as Marge placed the parcel in my hands. MY SWAP PACKAGE ARRIVED!!!!
Okay, so I was way too excited to take pictures of the box... I definitley opened it during announcements in Chapel... ;)
First, I was greeted by a very sweet and much-needed note:
Here are my lovely socks, knitted by
Lavender, the bestest swap partner ever:
I love them so very much. They haven't left my feet since I put them on in English ;)
Here are some adroeable notecards she sent me... I've already sent some notes to my family using them :D
Some fabulous Sugar Pear scented bath salts. OMG, I feel so spoiled ;)
Amazing chocolate that has already mostly disappeared....
The most AMAZING scented Earl Grey tea I've ever smelled-- and I'm quite the conniseur of Earl Grey Teas-- I haven't tasted it yet, but I will with breakfast tomorrow.
Beautiful Ravenclaw-ish sock yarn:
and some Fabulous size 2 bamboo DPNS, that I couldn't help but start using:
Here's a close-up on the sock toe:
There were also these awesome little blue, sock-shaped point protectors, but I forgot to take a picture, because I've already put them into used on my
Mrs. Darcy (because everyone secretly wants to be Elizabeth Bennet).
(I also forgot to take a picure of my beautiful stitch markers and my awesome Harry Potter notepads and pens...)
Oh, and to appease my Swap Partner, here is a picture of me with my newly-found Wesaley Hair (Im also wearing my Ravenclaw scarf, and that's a nose stud, not a wart. :P )
