To My Secret Pal, Firstly an apology - things have been hectic round here, and when the package came my husband put it up in the Lace Place - which is the repository of all 'crafty' stuff, and is consequently festooned with all sorts of bags and parcels in various stages of completion - and it didn't get opened.
However, it was discovered again this evening, when I was attempting to find a simple but effective bookmark to make for the ladies who organised the Craft Fair at the Church, with my parents. Needless to say when I found the package, I gave up on the bookmark... Well - what riches. The Diary is lovely, and I do like the little pearls of wisdom on the page tops, and the cartoons at the bottom - what a talented lot the Australian Lace Guild are! The postcards are delightful - I shall have to be very selective to whom they are sent - if they get sent at all; I am considering getting some of those frames which frame lots of pictures - we will see. Similarly, the note cards - only for very special people indeed, as the picturs are gorgeous, and the colours lovely. The ALG certainly works hard at getting together lots of wonderful goodies. The Lettercards with the Lacemaker on are a treat - I shall enjoy sending them to special friends, and I am sure they'll enjoy receiving them too. The little gift tags are beautiful - one is alrready being used for the tag to go with the crucifix for the naming day of my niece's little girl, on the 19th November, so that will be treasured, I know. The rest will go on gifts at Christmastide for my very special lacey friends - and maybe one or two non-lacey but crafty friends! And the pictures - they are all so good, and I love the hat! I can see me swanning around iin that, I just loved it! The close-up of the Medusa head was wonderful too - it must have been so hard to work, and the snakes are great! But - how tantalising! Which one was you demonstrating - the one with the lace round the neck? Is it Beds lace? I shall be so fretful until I know precisely who you are! I also enjoy your letters, and will be sorry when this six-month stint comes to an end! You are so newsy, and so informative, and I have so enjoyed having you as a Secret Pal, and I do hope you Secret Pal has been as much fun! With many, many thanks, and looking forward to my tiny suspicions proved correct - or otherwise!
