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

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.

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.

Thanks again,

best wishes,

 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.

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.

   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

I love the angel mat and have put it by my bed with a photo of my mum on it.

The Handkerchief is so pretty and delicate.  I like to have a proper hankie

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.
Thank you again and best wishes

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.

Thanks once again,

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.

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,

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.

With best wishes.

How clever you are to make the pouch from material that you have dyed yourself

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.  If they'd just leave my gardens alone...

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.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks

2003-06-08 Thread Susan MacLeod
Dear Secret Pal in Italy,
	Thanks for the great package!I love the frog and lily patterns!!!  The 
bobbins are beautiful, I have been collecting some hooded bobbins, and 
should have enough now to make something small.  The chocolate was 
delicious, even tho it didn't travel well.  Is the photo of your lace pillow?
	hugs,
Sumac
