I love receiving parcels so I joined the Mystery Theme Swap: you mention themes you like (Paris, music, green, you name it), you are connected to someone and you exchange gifts. Your pal is not a mystery, but the theme is. My pal was Alix Saucy Minx and out of all the things I love she has chosen ‘Wishes from the USA’.

So now I’m totally happy with Harmony sock needles in three sizes, lovely handmade soap, little correspondence cards, eucalan in different scents, honey for my tea, a hand salve in a great little box, lavender incense, lip balm, a beautiful pattern for the Luna Moth Shawl (from Barbare Walker’s -A treasury of knitting pattern’s- ) and 2 skeins of Knit Picks Bare (which I really wanted badly – merino and silk yeah!!!). But you know what I like most of all what Alix send? Lavender Dryer Bags.
Because I now have a dryer for the first time of my life and it’s great. But I so much miss the scent of fresh laundry. Oh yes, I’m so old fashioned. Thank you Alix, you have really spoiled me with all those well chosen gifts.
