Hello my SP,

Wonderfull you parcel arrived just for Easter!! 10 days by mail.

What a lovely box in leather. I ever saw someone like it but don't have. 
I'll put thread on it.


The rabbits are lovely : good idea in sweets. The caramel one had a 
little problem : it looks like a jigsaw so I begin immediatly to eat it!!


The over sweet are very good too.

I like postcards. So I know a liitle more germany and put the lace 
postcards in my collection.


The wooden bowl for pins is a very good idea. I put it on my pillow and 
tie up. My friends would be  impress by my organisation.


Thank you very much for all. I am very happy to have a SP and wait for 
next month.


Best wishes

Sof from France

Dear Secret Pal,

Your package came early, and surprised me.  Mystery packages are always so 
much fun.


The bobbins are lovely.  I think I will use them on the new pillow I just 
got.  I want to start a bookmark pattern on it soon.  The pillow is dark 
green -- just the perfect color to show off the bobbins.


Thank you for the beeswax to keep my pricking needles smooth.  The notepad 
will be put to good use.


The key fob will take a bit of thinking, and choosing, to find just the 
right pattern for the lace to go in it.  I like a bit of a challenge.  Then 
it will be a fun piece to use and show off.


Thanks again for all the goodies.  They are really great.  Have a wonderful 
time on your holiday.

Hello Pat,

It's was so exciting to find out who my first secret pal was, and thank you so
much for the wonderful items. The bobbin is exquisite and I will treasure it
forever, the engraving makes it that much more special! Also, the tea towel is
stunning and very interesting, as is the postcard. All the facts, what a
wonderful place to call home.

I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt, it is always hard to lose those someone
even when they life a long, full life.

I hope your kitchen turns out just the way you want it too, it sure sounds
like a lot of work but will be worth it in the end.

Your travels sound so exciting, and hope you have a safe trip. I wish I could
be going to Denver, but finances will not allow me to go this year. Am hoping
to eventually attend a conference, and would love to meet you in person. How
exciting that you will be teaching, and owning a supply business will keep you
extra busy!

I'll wrap up now, but want you to know how much all your goodies have meant to
me, and know that I will treasure them always.

Your grateful SP,

Cary

Hello Lynn:
 
It is nice to find out who you are, I have really enjoyed your SP packages.  
This month was also really great!
 
I have always wanted a glass bobbin and a mother  child is just an added 
plus!  It is so beautiful!  I will send you a picture privately of my pillow 
with the bobbin and several of the others you have sent.  It also has the 
bobbin pin, what a cute idea!  Did you make it?
 
I love the pocket calendar, I needed one for my purse.  My really calendar is a 
daytimer and just too big for my purse, so this will come in really handy.
 
The earrings are great, I've never seen purple hoops like that, I really like 
them.
 
The beautiful material you included would be perfect as placemats or hankys.  I 
believe that I have some pretty antique machine lace that would make a nice 
border for each one.
 
When I make my coffee in the morning I will think of you as I drink it.  Yummy, 
coffee creamers
 
I have truly enjoyed having you as my Secret Pal.  I will stay in touch..
 
Thanks!
Rita Lloyd

Dear SP,

forgive me for delay in thanking you, but I went back to Italy last Sunday
and I am still confused and tired because of the jetlag. Oz and Aussies, and
better Australian lacemakers are wonderful.

Thank you for the usefull things you sent me, I really enjoyed them.

Best wishes

 dear lucy and clancy  (what handsome cats you are !!! )


how thoughtful of you to have your human send me that precious little book 
on how to train one's pet human . nice being able to check if there was 
anything i had forgotten over the years . I'll have to take the book with 
me under the bed so she doesn't mess everything up by reading it you 
see she's pretty well trained :   she opens the window before taking her 
coat off when she's back from work, i have my meal first in the morning, 
she freezes to death and has a hell of an electricity bill because i need 
to have the window open at all times and i always have fresh kitten grass 
or else i start nibbling  her precious house plants...

she didn't let me look inside her parcel though .. she was busy looking for 
orange thingies among polythelene (or whatever..) chips .. strange!! .. she 
drooled over a frog , inflated a funny blue thing and said it was just what 
she needed . i overheard her say it was a foot spa !! of all things !! how 
can anybody in her right mind put her feet in soapy water and enjoy  
actually, she was absolutely delighted by everything there was in that 
super box . 

so give your human a special pat and purr. that box was as safe as Fort 
Knox or its australian equivalent .. and real fun to browse through   
can't wait till next month . we'll know who she is .

dear  secret pal 

good news: i went to the post office this morning to get my parcel from 
Australia 
bad news : it was open and when i checked with the list you had written on 
the green label the ornament was missing and also probably the card :i had 
the CD ( fantastic . i'll take it with me to my office . it'll add the 
touch of nature needed to make work tolerable  ) the note pad with its 
gorgeous soft coloured frog , the pencil , the little book of calm 
(very useful  . i'll carry it in my pocket to have a quick look when 
needed .. VBG) and the three skeins of cotton thread .(such pretty colours) 
... 
 
it seems i shouldn't have taken the parcel but sent it back to sender so 
you could file a complaint on your side of the planet ...  it wasn't the 
same clerk behing the counter when i went back to the post office to say 
something had been stolen and she nearly accused me of cheating .. i came 
out fuming ... but i live in a part of town where some people make a living 
out of such things so . she wasn't entirely wrong ...

i have kept the envelope . if you need it just tell me and i'll post it 
back .. this makes me wonder whether the July envelope will reach me at all 
... but it doesnt matter . i know it left Australia and  you didn't forget 
me ..  the Post Office is not what it used to be ..

a lot of thanks again 
wondering what september is keeping in store for us ... hugs

Dear Secret Pal in California

You go under a variety of names but I think all teh packages have been 
sent from CA.  The March package arrived today, a little late but worth 
the wait.  The needle case and mini book are delightful.  I think I'm 
beginning to go into a sewing phase, so they will get used, though 
really they are more for slip into the handbag for emergency use.

The best bit is the little reel of old thread.  I've been looking at it 
very closely and decided that it is linen; and about as fine as linen 
gets - unless you come upon some hand spun 18th century thread, which I 
have only ever seen made into lace.  I've measured it as 2S 44 wraps/cm 
and I'm just about to update the Addendum2 list on my website.  Even 
allowing for it being very fine it does feel a bit week in places so 
I've dampened it a little and hope it strengthens it a bit.  A lot of 
old thread suffers from having been kept in warm dry conditions, though 
I understand California gets quite humid during the summer months.

Thanks for all the goodies, and I look forward to learning your real 
identity soon.

Brenda

hi 

a secret pal from Australia ! .. swell  i nearly lost the pewter 
frog that was cheeky enough to jump out of the bag with paper and all ... i 
love it !!! i guess i had that particularly idiotic grin one has  when  
really absolutely delighted ...   .. I put it near my turtle made from a 
Mexican seed (offered by another SP and much treasured ) .the bandana 
is beautiful and the fact it is to help teens with cancer makes it even 
more precious ,  the cards are oh so pretty and the exlibris etiquettes are 
just what i needed  for my lace books ..  i'll keep a few of them to show 
my lace friends of course 

 dominique who's impatiently waiting for next month ... 

argh!! forgot the Santa  ...much appreciated too . you didn't know i had a 
Santa  collection too did you ???  you must be a psychic somehow.. i 
started buying Santa candles and stopped when they all started to look the 
same in all the shops. i just love  those  that look chinese .. lol .. 
something in the eyes ... i checked and they were indeed made in China ..

 It also had a wonderful little lace fan.  I love my things.   Thank You so

 it was great fun opening these nice little elf coloured green parcels ... 
i still can't get over the fact there is english lavender lol   i 
had always thought lavender was only grown in the South of Europe !! the 
smell is gorgeous and as i intended to buy shower gel it couldn't be better 
timed.  
By the way china tea with lavender tastes real nice . i'd never have 
thought of mixing tea and lavender .. not creative enough when it comes to 
tea i guess  lol ...
the bobbin is precious and so delicate and the thread cutter came as a real 
surprise . my lace pals were much interested . i proudly wore the pin to go 
to my lace lessons and the photo frame is gorgeous  ... 

i am delighted !!! thank you again
