I just love the box…what a great surprise that Francis Drake was waiting for me at the post office. Great timing!
Look at all the goodies that Marisol sent my way. There is nothing like hearing your 16 yo scream for the chocolate. It’s really sad when at that age you still have to tell them “no, don’t touch”. LOL What do we see here? A box of Trader Joe’s Chocolate Caramel Tartlet cookies, Villars Swiss Milk Chocolate bar, a cute Twinkle Candy (poof, I’m a sleek 120 pounds and no gray in the hair 
, a lovely Mini Memo Pad & Pen (great size for the knitting bag to take notes on what everyone else is making at this years Knitting Retreat and follow suit, the adorable kitty sitting on the Benz (ooh my, what happened to the paint job, giggle), the most awesome tissue holder made out of fantastic fabric…I may have to sew some of these up as gifts for co-workers,a Fiber Trends Raindrop Lace Socks pattern by Evelyn A. Clark, whom I see every year at the Ft. Worden knitting retreat (maybe I should ask for her autograph) and last is the Claudia Hand Painted Yarn, fingering weight 100% merino wool in my favorite Fall colors, color name “Donna’s Favorite”, Lot #011. OMG, what an amazing package.
A close up of the yarn, though my new camera (present) from my DH is giving me fits or maybe I’m just having fits as it is not doing what I WANT.
Marisol, I send you my most heart felt “thank you” for such thought and a great box of goodies. You are a gem among knitters.
Tomorrow is Friday. Tomorrow I pack my son and all of his boxes off to college. I am sad, I am happy, I think I need a beer. I’ll be back on Saturday, so I can get my Francis Drake box all tidy and ready to go on Monday to it’s next recipent. Sailing away, matey!
What a fabulous package! I love the tissue holder — it’s one of those little things we’d do for others and not for ourselves. And the yarn is gorgeous! Enjoy your goodies and travel safely!
Oh Sherrill you are so sweet! I am so glad that you enjoyed all of these goodies.
When I read your questionnaire that Amanda forwarded to me mentioning your favorite fall colors—-I knew at that moment that this yarn from my stash would suit the bill:) It warms my heart that you are enjoying the precious cargo Sir Francis was kind enough to deliver:)
Travel safely and have a good weekend and think happy thoughts as much as possible:)
Oh wow! I just love that yarn!!! What a wonderful box of goodies. Have fun taking your son to school. I imagine it’s going to be hard but hey, he won’t be that far away!! If you feel like getting off the freeway on the way home, give a call. I’d love to see you.
Lovely package there!
Have a good weekend! (hugs!)
I have some of that Claudia Hand Painted Yarn it is so heavenly!
Great package! and also
Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Great yarn! How perfect for fall. And how timely for your birthday week!
And good luck with taking your son to college today. I hope it’s not too traumatic for either of you.
Awesome package! Such a great idea too. I hope everything went well with getting your son off to school.
Gorgeous yarn! And my daughter off at college is missing Trader Joe’s chocolate… I’m very late to the party in mentioning this, but I saw your picture of your green Rabbit Tracks scarf aways back there, and wanted to pop in and tell you I love how your yarn looked with the pattern. Thanks!
