Dear Secret Pal, Many thanks for your parcel that arrived today. It is so exciting every month to open up and find out what you have sent. Don't worry your parcel is not late - I do hope your husband is better now. The souvenir handkerchief is always handy I use one to keep the thread protected in my work box. The third hand is brilliant - have never seen one before but heard of them and now I got one. I think I will use the scarf as a cover cloth as it is such a nice pattern on it. See you have been to Mt Eliza lace day a few years back, it is nice with the commemorative bobbins. Last but not least a very nice purse - you do spoil me. Many many thanks for all you sent and I do look forward to get to know who you are as I do not have a clue. Happy lacing and thanks again from Sonja To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Secret Pal, You are spoiling me with all your lovely gifts - many thanks dear friend. The merino wool scarf is so soft and it will be or is ready a big favourite of mine. I have used it all day since it came this morning and it is so nice and warm over my shoulders. Also many thanks for nice Australian candy I have never seen them before. It is so nice to try different things to what I can get here. I have just been into the website and looked around at Australia Zoo - it is amazing how much we learn from this lacemaking list about all aspects of life not just lace. The bright note pad comes handy and so does the hanky and earrings. Again many thanks and I wish you could have seen me when I opened the parcel from you today. All the best from Sonja in UK To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for my parcel that arrived today. I do like the look of the flowers in the address book. The nature is so different from ours. The little Easter bunny is sitting here feeding me - it is lovely. I do like the fragrance of the perfume and the bath gloves are really good. I have used the same type a long time so they will be of good use. I have never used Bouc linen so that will be interesting how it is compared with Bocken and Moravia linen I mostly used. Many thanks for finding out about the wood for the bobbins. They have such a nice feel.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for the lovely surprise I received from you today. The calendar with the pictures is so nice and I can dream about all places to visit and having a good guess where you live. Hankies far to nice to use and I love the little teddy. The bobbins are so smooth and have a nice neck with space for a lot of thread. Do you know the name of the wood? The box with the lady bird you sent them in is perfect for keeping my long hat pins in. Scissor holder and pin cushion - did you make them yourself? I'm not good in sewing so I'm so pleased I got them. I like to work with the Swedish linen thread so that comes very handy as I'm going to make a bookmark for a friend. Many thanks for all and you sent me and I do hope you are getting a lot of goodies as well from your SP.

Re: [lace-chat] Re: Danish translation help needed - ASAP
Hi Tamara, Pomeransskal is the dried peel from the citrus fruit pomerans. Seville orange tree, bitter orange tree and sour orange tree are names I have heard for the tree. Pomeranstern is the Danish word for the peel when it is diced. So what you need is some Seville orange peel diced.

Dear Kiwi SP or maybe I can write Julie now, Got your parcel today and you do spoil me - I know it would come late but I don't mind at all. How thoughtful of you to send another soap - will soon tell you what I use it for. What a lot of goodies you put together for me and I love the handmade paper you wrapped it all in. That paper will be reused.. The photostand is brilliant I will keep that for my must remember notes by my side here at the computer. The angel pin will go on my jacket - I love different pins and broaches especially angels, cats and hats. What a nice needle holder - so smooth and silky feel to it - do you know what wood it is made in ? Good with a kiwi pen around my neck - that one I ought to be able to hang on to - I have a habit to loose my pens all the time. I hope you will get a lovely time in USA and you will hear from me when you get back again.

Dear Kiwi SP, Your parcel to me arrived this morning. Whooow what a lovely selection of goodies you sent to me. NZ Lace Society magnet is already on the lid of my pin tin - I love all different badges, club pins etc. The napkins are always handy to have and I like the motif you chose for me. Notepads with Kingfisher the bird that is my favourite after the Puffin. The book is perfect and I will use it for my divider pins. It jogged my memory as I have one like this before all in wood with leather ribbons. This book/block is an old tradition from an island in my old homecountry. You hang the book above the door on top of the doorpost and if you can see the book cover from the outside stay away, if you can see it open you are welcome. On mine you can read glasses, false teeth and legs are all good friends on the side showing you are welcome. I can scan and show it to you when I know who you are. You gave me a really good idea for making Christmas presents - thank you Also how on earth did you know I was looking for a small soap!!! I need it for something else than washing myself and I will tell you about it after this SP months are over I think I will write too much here otherwise. Once again thank you very much ! / Sonja To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Kiwi SP, This morning I got my parcel so now I can stop worry. I have had some post gone missing the last year and I got a bit worried and thought No not again.. I see you have been busy sewing lately - no lacemaking then. I haven't made much lace this summer it has been too sticky and I just haven't got around to it lately. Many thanks for the nice items you sent to me. The bobbin with the little kiwi is great I will think of you - whoever you are I have no clue - in the future when I see it on my pillow. Notepads I can never get too many of and I understand Aotearoa is the Maori word for New Zealand. Cat bookmark - purrfect for a catlover. The variegated pearl cotton thread is so nice in the colours and how nice with something different. Is Thelma's Threads a local name? I will use it as gimp in a pattern for a butterfly I have on my to do list. The little delicate box has so soft pastel colours I will put it on my shelf with other treasured items I have got over the years.

Dear Kiwi Secret Pal, Many thanks for your parcel it came this morning and it brightened up this rainy morning. I like the coasters and how nice to see pictures from your place in the world. The small wooden pegs go in my Honiton workbox I find them very good to temporary mark a certain bobbin with. Maybe I will use some of them for making a card for a newborn baby in a friends house... The bobbins made in rimu wood I understand that is New Zealand red pine. Very nice and smooth to handle and great to add to my bobbin collection. Pen and paper I can never get too much of.. Some people are shopaholics etc I can call myself a penaholic I always want more of them. Thank you once again and I look forward to hearing from you next month.

Dear Secret Pal in New Zealand, Your parcel arrived a few minutes ago and earlier than I expected it is the 4th today - what a lovely surprise. The bobbins will get spangled and in work on my pillow straight away and also the cover cloth. It is such a lovely print on the cloth and I will think of you when I see it. Look forward to make up the hardanger kit.

Hello Michelle and all, About the Honiton Teapot I have a postcard with a motif of a teapot in Honiton lace. It is blue background and have the picture of the pot made in lace on it.
