[lace-chat] Secret pal thanks
I had a friend over when your package arrived. At first I set it aside, but I couldn't wait to see what was inside, so I invited my friend to look with me, and we opened the package together! It was so much fun! She was as excited as I was! The coffee smells delicious, and the "tea" you sent smells absolutely fantastic! I am looking forward to trying them both out. The thread is such a nice color and the swan made it safely across the country. He looks right at home in my pin cushion! The roosters are beautiful. They even earned a second look from my husband! I have enjoyed each rooster item you've sent very much! I can see from the calendar that you live in a beautiful part of this country. My father-in-law went there several years ago...it had been a life long dream to see those big trees! He loved it. You're right about the variety of views in a state. I am surrounded by salt marshes here and about 5 miles from the ocean. Still, because I am in the north of the state, I have a yard full of magnolia trees and live oaks. It sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas. I'm glad you could share it with your best friend. I have shared over 29 with mine now. It gets better and better each year. Take care of yourself...I can't imagine the weather you've had! Talk to you soon.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thankyou
Dear Secret Pal, Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I have just returned from holiday and found your parcel waiting for me. Thankyou so much for the lovely bobbincase, it will be very handy. Also thankyou for the New Year bobbin, what a lovely idea, a matching pair for Xmas & New Year. The wee needle book is wonderful, just what I need. Thankyou also for the wee butterfly divider that I found within. It will look very pretty on my pillow. How did you know that I have now started collecting wee boxes & tins. I will enjoy eating the contents and then adding the tin to my collection. As for the bookmark, it is just what I need. The lacemaker stencil? is lovely. We never see anything like that over here. Thankyou for spoiling me once again. Like you my Christmas was a little strange. This was the first once since my dear mum passed away and it seemed very strange without her. As was my birthday a couple of weeks previous. Sorry to hear about your daughters cat, will she get another in time ? The weather here has been beautiful, lovely warm sunny days but it sure makes it hard to be stuck inside working. Nevermind, the weekend is coming. Well, I must away. Thankyou once again. Kindest Regards Julie from New Zealand. To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] New Shantih CD
Happy New Year to all gentle lacemakers around the world. May the year ahead be full of challenges & inspirations. Some arachneans will remember a CD called "Lost in TIme" which had a Flanders edging on the CD Cover & a Honiton leaf motif on the back cover, & there was lace printed on the CD itself. The CD was produced by Shantih Records. Good news! A second CD called "Winds of Change" has just been released & is priced at $15 plus $2 shipping (add 50c for each additional CD). Copies of the 1st CD are still available. Send payment to: Kay Rinker-O'Neil 629 Baldwin Road Mason, Michigan 48854 Email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if you need to ask her questions. I love my "Lost in Time" CD & find the classical music very soothing & relaxing to listen to. Just a happy customer.

Dear Secret Pal Your parcel arrived today, we had a quiet but enjoyable Christmas and my DH and I are looking forward to the coming year and the various lace events that we plan to attend. I was intrigued with the Batavia bobbins when I first opened the parcel and then memory kicked in and I remembered the stamp issued in Australia some years ago picturing the bobbins, and an article I have about them. They are really wonderful and just the right size for adding to my collection of travel bobbins - thank you so very much. I shall have a good read and study of the article tomorrow - when I don't have to focus on teaching lace classes, which I do Monday - Wednesday. I'm also enjoying the selection of cards that you have been sending, the Beds hanky corner is very pretty, and they will be added to my album. What a wonderful way to start the week (well almost the beginning of the week) I'm really chuffed with the wonderful goodies you've sent for me. Wishing you the very best for the New Year Nicky in Suffolk To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Flower show... ;)
Two old ladies were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall where a flower show was in progress. One leaned over and said, "Life is so damned boring. We never have any fun anymore. For $5.00, I'd take my clothes off and streak through that stupid flower show!" "You're on!" said the other old lady, holding up a $5.00 bill. As fast as she could, the first little old lady fumbled her way out of her clothes and, completely naked, streaked through the front door of the flower show. Waiting outside, her friend soon heard a huge commotion inside the hall, followed by loud applause. The naked lady burst out through the door surrounded by a cheering crowd. "What happened?" asked her waiting friend. "I won first prize for Best Dried Arrangement..."

[lace-chat] secret pal thanks
Dear Secret Pal, Well! Aren't I the luckiest person to have you for my Secret Pal. I am so happy with all the teapot things. The package was waiting for me when I arrived home from an extra long day at work and the temperature had been up to 40c. Naturally the first cup of tea went down very well. I love the little spoon and the teabag stand. They are already in use. The Honiton pattern and the lovely bobbins and fine thread ( almost impossible to get in Australia )will take a little longer. I have done a small amount of Honiton and now I have quite a challenge to do more. Thank you so much.Regards Mary To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
