Swap Package - From Me

I participated in a swap in a Ravelry group which I'm a member, "We Love Lucy". I meant to show you what I sent, but the busy-ness of the holidays took over - but I wanted to show you what I sent.  The group was started and is inhabited by people who enjoy the blog by Lucy in England - her blog is called Attic24.  If you haven't visited, you really should.  It's a delight.  And the reason that I've discovered COLOR in my crochet that I love. Here is the whole package.. what fun it was to put together!  My swap partner was Lucy aka "Bearium" in England and I posted what she sent to me mid-December.

Contents were:  A bar of handcrafted soap with a minty aroma, an American Lighthouse ornament, a washcloth of cotton that I knitted. 

Some sparkly red yarn, a pair of red knit gloves, a red heart that I crocheted, a pair of patriotic earrings that I made with sterling silver and Murano Italy milleflori glass beads - and most special, a large hank of pure ivory colored alpaca for her to spin and/or dye as she spins. 

2 skeins of holiday colored sock yarn as she knits socks. The yarn is sitting on a neat blue nylon bag made specially for carrying yarn.  

Some adorable muffin cups and a little clipboard with a holiday printed pad of paper. 

Some holiday nail files, a candy cane and a candy cane pen - the ink smells like peppermint!! 

She said she like mint chocolate, so I sent a nice bag of yummy chocolates, and a package of colorful buttons. 

 3 large soft skeins of KnitPicks cotton yarn.

An art card featuring "Portlandia" - a wonderful sculpture made like the statue of liberty of copper - on the Portland Building in downtown.  And a spool of red, white and blue ribbon. 

I wrapped each thing in colorful tissue and tied with a bow.  I put several things in a lovely red fabric bag, too. 

Here is the box, already to send.  We posted it on Dec 5th and it was received on Dec 14th.   

I just wanted to share with you what I sent.  ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
