Christmas has come early Thank you for your December package. I love nougat (and having tried to make it once - tasted fine, but was a sticky mess - I enjoy receiving it ready made). The thread will find a use probably over Summer if I can manage a few days off work. The candle is different to any that I have seen here, and I assume that the rest of the gift was Christmas decorations (they are going on the tree anyway). Thank you once again and I wish you a Merry Christmas Maryanne Ulverstone Australia Where Summer seems to be here to stay (for a day or two anyway) 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 lovely parcel, 3 pairs of bobbins in one parcel as well as 2 divider pins and some note paper,* wow *, I am truly blessed. The bobbins will go on show for Xmas, they are too lovely to hide away on a pillow just yet, so will the Angel pin and I love my little hedgehog. The paper is very good as I love to knit. I hope you and your family have a very happy festive season. Shirl.

The framed rooster has arrived safely and is already hanging in my kitchen... he seems to feel right at home on my wall, and since he is advertising Scottish biscuits, he also fits right in with my Robert BurnsÂ’ blessing and my biscuit barrel. I tasted one piece of the chocolate while I admired the way the print looks on the wall and it is so delicious! Also the threads you picked out are beautiful. The colors are as delicious to the eyes as the chocolate is to the tongue! Thank you so very much! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

We're in the middle of the first snow storm of the season, so the arrival of your package has put some sunshine in my life. Thanks so much for the bobbins (you can never have enough) and the tidy for my pillow. The candy is quite tasty and I agree that the tin will be perfect for pins. I always carry a diary in my purse, so that will be handy too. Thanks again and have a merry Xmas and a happy new year.

Dear Secret Pal Thank you for your package which arrived yesterday - not as late as Alice suggested it may be. A truly international package; Canadian bobbin, Swiss hankie, South African ornament, Caribbean card, and the plastic mesh and covercloth which I guess are American. The mesh is great, already in use as I've got so many spools of untamed thread - it should be sold by the yard/meter. I haven't yet decided how to use the Coronation cord but I'd like to somehow incorporate it into BL. The bobbin is beautiful and I've spangled it with black and white beads. You're right in saying that Simon Toustou makes the Rolls Royce of lace things. It's the first time I've seen one of his bobbins but I do have a couple of mousse bone dividers made by him and they too are superb. Thank you so much for all the goodies in the package.

Dear Secret Pal in America, Thank you so much for my parcel of goodies that arrived this morning. I love the buttons and have been trying to decide what I can put them on to show them off !! I have a few bobbins that need spangling so the lovely beads will certainly come in handy. I am going to try and find some time this weekend to do it. I have tried one of the choccies already and I'm not sure how long I will be able to resist the rest !! All my tanne thread is either white or ecru so the blue thread that you sent makes a welcome change. I have a few different scented essential oils but not a peppermint one so I can't wait to try it.

My dear Secret Pal, France, eh? Land of perfume and lace, cheese, bread, and wine! Thank you so much for the goodies. The octopus is so cute. I'll have to watch that my grandchildren take it home with them when they come to visit. I'm looking forward to trying the prunes in my tea. The tiny bobbin is already on a chain waiting for me to wear it. The scented wands smell so good! I introduced my DD (23 yrs old) to aromatherapy and she in turn has me hooked on lip gloss. She is begging me for the witch to add to her keychain collection. Maybe if she's really, really nice to me... I tried reading the words on the bag to her and she says my pronunciation of French is atrocious. Hah! It's as good as my German lol. She's fluent in Russian and has taken French also. My 2 sons deal with the German and I'm left with the Spanish. I guess we are a multi-lingual family. We also speak English and American. My 2 little dogs send lots of kisses to you and your cat. By the way, you can keep the wallabees over there. We have some in our zoo, but I don't think any have escaped. Again, thanks so much for such a delightful package. Now I've got to get back to work on Christmas ornaments.

To my Secret Pal, Well what a lovely surprise. We had a note thro' the door that there was a package to be picked up at the Post Office, so off I toddled, and I was thrilled when I opened it. The sweets were a treat - they didn't do the diabetes any harm, as we had our three grandchildren with us for the weekend, and they were very helpful in getting rid of them!They really were delicious, as they children can also testify! I loved the notepaper - almost too good to use! The keyring was a delight too, so that has my house keys on it already, and the bobbins will be wound for the lace for my daughter-in-law's father's surplice - he is being ordained a permanent deacon in July and, although I have known about this for two years, the lace is still in my mind, not on the pillow!So - I shall now use the bobbins, and get cracking. Thanks once again - you are so generous. Carol To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I got your package this morning and what a lot of memories it brought back. I actually visited 5 of the churches on the dish towel, years ago when I took a fascinating 3 day study tour called 'The vernacular architecture of East Anglia" and then some years later, when I took a 2 week course at Cambridge University. The tape measure will come in very handy. I've carried one in my purse for years. Actually it's so old that the markings on the first 4 inches have worn off and there's no metric measurements on it. I've been meaning to replace it and now I have a lovely one from the Lacemakers' Circle. I'll try out the embroidery floss bobbin winder this afternoon. It should be very handy. Thanks again. The parcel was a great way to bring some sunlight into a very grey, rainy day.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for my parcel which arrived today. The bobbin is the most beautiful one I have seen, I have heard of Stuart Johnson but have never seen his work. I can't wait to make a start on my Xmas decoration. Have my thinking hat on as to who you might be. I have been making lace fo 12 years. My birthday has just gone, Nov 9th.

Ooh! It was just like Christmas! And I just love sparkly stuff so the wrapping was a very pleasant surprise. The thread is luscious. I have too many ideas for it. And like a lot of lacemakers, I am as crazy about paper and notebooks and such as I am about thread. Thank you. It was a delightful surprise. I feel so special.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you very much for the wonderful pillow bag, I saw one a few weeks ago very similar and thought I would make one someday, but thanks to a very kind secret pal I now can spend more time making lace. The material you used is very nice and beautifully made and in my favourite colour, I feel very lucky. I can't wait to go to the next lace meeting on Tuesday to show it off. You asked if I collect anything, I have a small collection of little witches the uglier the better.

Hello ! Your package arrived today...or should I say "treasure chest"? I couldn't wait to let you know! I can tell already that you are a very thoughtful person. Each gift is so special! The scents of candles and soap let me know right away what a delight was in store! The scene on the magnet IS pretty...do you really see scenes like that? The frogs are special...I will tell you why another day :-) The notecards are perfect, and the thread and bobbins are just absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to put them to good use! Truthfully, words seem inadequate...you made my day!! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hello to my Not-So-Secret Pal! It is so good to know now who you are, and I am thrilled with the wire lace kit - I had wondered whether to invest when I saw some for sale at the Lace Guild convention, and resisted temptation, so Providence has smiled upon me, in the shape of you! I will write personally to you after the weekend - we are going to Herefordshire early tomorrow to visit our daughter and family, and as I ahve to fit in a trip to the physiotherapist at 8.00 am, not much time to spare at the moment! Take care of yourself, and I'll write when we get back.

Sorry for the delay in thanking you for this months package. Our phone was off line and B.T. wont fix it over the weekend unless you are a doctor or similar. I love the angel mat and have put it by my bed with a photo of my mum on it. The angel magnet is now on the fridge ( the first angel to land there). Washington Island looks very interesting with so much to do and see. I love the old church on the card and can see why you would want to spend time there. The Handkerchief is so pretty and delicate. I like to have a proper hankie instead of tissues, unless I have a cold! Thank you also for the bobbin, I did not see them at the convention and I didn't work out who you were. The only clue I think was, some one said hello as I was getting in the lift but I didn't see who. I would like to thank you for the lovely gifts I recieved there, basket, cat dish. chop sticks, fan etc. You are a much travelled crafts person and I am nowhere near guessing who you are.

To My Secret Pal, What a wonderful gift this is - I think the orchid petals in the acrylic are so beautiful, they are an inspiration to look at! And the gift wasn't late, despite your apologies!We were away in Wales until yesterday (Monday 15th September) and the package had been unsuccessfully delivered on the 8th September, so we had to collect it this morning from the local postal office. How lovely it was to have something so beautiful, instead of all the bills which have accumulated whilst we have been away! You must have had a wonderful holiday, but I am sure that being back at home is also a treat! You packed a great deal into the time you were away, so the memories will live with you forever.

I really want to thank my Secret Pal for this month's and last month's package. The Lace Day and the VanSciver Bobbin Lace were great. The Lace Day brochure makes me want to attend a lace day - I will have to save my money so that maybe next year or the year after I can attend one. Again, as soon as I get some extra money I will have to purchase some of the great looking items in the catalog. Currently, with the remodeling and my daughter's wedding have taken ALL my extra money. She seems to know when I get a few dollars ahead and then asks for something else. I do have to admit that she is paying for more than half of the wedding expenses. I love the gold rush embroidery thread. I will have a great time with the thread. As I have said, you must be a mind reader - with the various "talk" on the e-mail about the thread comparison chart, I have thought about getting one and now thanks to your generosity, I do not have to buy one myself. Did you make the heart pin? It is great I also love the beads for spangling my bobbins. Lastly, but surely not least, thank you for the beautiful picture album. I know that you said I could use it for my next traveling; however, I am going to use it for copies of my daughter's wedding pictures. You have been a great Secret Pal and I am s lucky to have you as my Secret Pal. Thanks - Andrea Sommers In Las Vegas, where it is "raining" about once or twice a week since it is our rainy season.

Dear SP, Thanks for the great package! More of those interesting patterns!!! I just have to learn more about this lace and how to do it, the patterns are so nice! I love the beads. The lemons on the potholder looked so real, I had to sniff them! It has been very hot and humid here. I feel moldy from all the rain and moisture. Almost makes me want to move to Alaska where my big brother lives. Have done a little tatting, but no other lace as I've just felt too sticky. Tatting works great in front of a fan. Jane (Swanson) has talked me into entering a tatted seahorse in the CraftAdventure show that is the end of the month. Wish me luck! There are still pollywogs in my frog pond without legs. I wonder what they are that is taking them so long to grow up??? The kittens are getting big, the boy is bigger than his mom, and still has a lot of growing to do still. They are almost 5 months old now. They still race around like crazy cats, it can be very amusing or irritating, depending on the time of day. bye for now, Sumac To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To My Secret Pal, I was dleighted with the Cathedral postcard - I tend to keep ones like that in my Missal, so every time I use it I will beb thinking of you. The stamps were a delight too - I wonder whether the UK postal service will ever get round to an issue with stamps on them, as these are lovely. And the small cookery book! I was really pleased, especially as the recipes have their titles in Welsh! Brings the pangs of home-sickness back, but we are trundling off to Wales tonight for the annual long holiday, so I will take it with me, and use it and the Aga in the cottage to good effect! A brilliant choice of gift for me. I was so pleased with the thread too! I am taking that with me, as well as some patterns, the tiny little bobbin winfder, and the travel pillow, as I want to finish what is on the pillow, and start something whilst we are away - and I won't have to worry about thread now! Thank you so much - I do hope your Secret Pal is as good to you! Take care, and I hope you are having a great time trundling round Europe - you certainly seem to have taken in a great deal.

Dear Secret Pal Huge, huge thanks for the August AND September parcels which have arrived recently. You must be going travelling, I hope you have a lovely time whatever it is you are up to. I have to admit to opening both parcels so sorry about that I couldn't resist! It will serve me right when I have no parcel next month. I am already using the spectacles case for my sunglasses. The earrings are exactly 'my thing' and I always choose silver rather than 'gold' so you have done very well! I guess the green stone inlay is malachite? They are very pretty and will go just as well with winter things when the summer has passed. At the moment I can't imagine ever being cold again, it is SO hot here today. The slim little address book is very useful and fits perfectly in one of the credit card slots in my bag. You have sent more of the little perfumed sachets too, this time lavender. My linen cupboard is going to be the best around! The little angel fish keyring is very cute. I have done some beading recently but nothing like that. I shall enjoy using it. The bookmarks will make me smile, the 'quotes' are very apt. The brooch with the bird/sunflower (daisy?) is very lovely and has been worn on my Tshirt already. I really love it. The selection of cards will be enjoyed by me and eventually the lucky friends I choose to send them to. Thankyou once again SP, you are a star! I hope your Secret Pal is being as good to you.

Hi Secret Pal in Florida, Your parcel arrived today and I absolutely love it!! How clever you are to make the pouch from material that you have dyed yourself and the pincushion in the shell is so sweet !! It is so tiny and must have been really fiddly to make !! I know what you mean about the heat. We have had hot weather for weeks now although it has been cooler the last few days. I have not touched my lace for weeks and Monday did 3 weeks worth of ironing,that is another thing that I can't bear to do when it is hot !!

To my secret pal somewhere in Italy, Thanks for the great package! I love the sugar free candy, it is such pretty glass! The cookies are nice, is Biscotti just Italian for cookie? I always thought that it was just the crunchy ones that are slice off a loaf and baked twice. The threads are very pretty. And the patterns! I am going to have to figure out how to do this lace, I love the abstract shaped one, and would really like to make it. Please tell me more about this type of lace! I will save the Larkspur seeds for next year, as there is not enuf summer left for them to grow. The dianthus should be able to grow enough this year that they can bloom next year. There was a horrible hot spell here the beginning of the month, thankfully it is better now. I'd be happy to have the temp in the 70's. Mosquitos and black flies have made gardening less than pleasant this year. There are lots of pollywogs in my frog pond, they will be changing over to little frogs soon. It is a lot of fun to watch them grow up. The water lilies winter well, and I hope to see flowers from them a little later on. Bambi broke into the vegetable garden and ate my beans and a pepper plant. Rotten critters! Tho I did see a fawn run across my front yard yesterday, and it was very cute.

To My Secret Pal, I thank you so much for the gifts from Ireland - my husband's homeland!

And the lavender-bag hankie - such a delightful smell! It is permeating the living room, as I just wanted it by me seat on the sofa, so that I could take in lungfulls of lavender air!

Well - what can I say? Again, a lovely package was awaiting my return from seeing my sister in hospital, so I was pretty downcast when I arrived home! Until, that is, I saw the package. The hankies are again a delight, and I shall really enjoy using them. The threads are beautiful shades of blue - I am going to a Lace Day on Saturday, and want to wind bobbins for a garter (edging, or something!) on my travel roller pillow, so they will be quickly used! The pin cushion is a delight - I loved the beaded spider, so I think that will go on the pillow - for show perhaps, as I'd hate to loosen the beads by ramming in a pin - to remind me of my Secret Pal. And the gadget! I am delighted with it, as I had read the threads with interest, wondering what they were called over here, and how I could possibly acquire one! So - that also will have its first outing to Sunny Norfolk (UK, that is!) on Saturday, where I have no doubt it will be much admired! Thank you once again - you are so very kind, and very original too! Carol - in sunny Suffolk, hoping that Norfolk will be just as good on Saturday.
