Spring Secret Pals Goodies!

Secret Goodies Arrive!

I received my first package of goodies from my marvelous secret pal! She and I have a lot in common, and we have wonderfully chatty e-mail letters. The bonus is she lives in North Carolina! I think she's on the opposite side of the state from where I'll settle. But there is always meeting half-way if she'd be up for it! (Hint, hint)

She loves to thread crochet and tells me she'd been inspired to dig through her stash of patterns. Her even stitches and perfectly formed double crochets just have me hypnotized! I've looked at her work over and over in a state of awe. I am truly a threadie nerd because I get a tingle and thrill just seeing excellent stitch work like that!

The nifty thing she made and sent was a beautiful tape measure crocheted in a lovely antique rose thread! It's so pretty! I had to give it special attention.

She knows I'm a tea lover, so she included some Scottish tea that she is fond of and wanted my opinion on taste. It's very flavorful and a hearty tea! I think it would make an excellent iced tea. It's a morning tea because of how strong it brews, and I love a strong, morning tea.
