To my secret pal, I got my package yesterday, I would have written sooner but msn. didn't want to work with me. Any way, I love the thread, I have been needing some, I am slowly making my thread stash grow. The little bear is so cute, he is already on my key chain.

Hello, Oh boy this is gonna be a fun secret pal round. I received a package today with two beautiful pairs of bobbins and some beeswax. One can never have to many bobbins, and I am certainly lacking in that department. I got a couple of books on ebay the first of the month, one is Dutch and the other is by Jean Leader, the thistle, shamrocks, roses, daffodils and fushia one. They take a lot of bobbins so these will certainly come in handy. I hope you enjoy your holiday. Thank you, Hugs from me to you, Lynn, West Virginia.

Hello, To my secret pal, well you have done it again, you have made me wait and spoiled me rotten. Makes me more appreciative and humbled, I must not be so greedy. I love antiques, so now I am off to google to figure out exactly which bobbins can be used, I know that spool bobbins will work, but I think for a bobbin lace bobbin to work I will need some sort of attachment. I will be using it, rest assured. I love antiques and don't wish to see them just sitting on a shelf. Thank you again, Hugs, Lynn p.s. I tried to post this to the secret pal site, but it won't let me.

Ho Ho Ho Hello, I know dumb huh, well I got a secret pal package on Saturday, I am glad nothing in it was breakable because the poor box was crushed. The stocking is oh so beautiful, it will hang up every year, the scarf is excellent, I bet it took quite a while to make. The candle, love the smell of Christmas cookies, my oven doesn't work so this fools the nose quite fine, the wolf scented picture is hanging at the computer desk, DH confiscated it, we collect Indian, wolves and eagle things, so even after the smell is gone he will still be here watching over us. I thank you for all these goodies, I can't wait to find out who you are. Till next time.

To My secret Pal in England Your parcel arrived today, and DH brought it down to work for me after lunch - what a surprises, as ever. The miniature bobbins are so cute, and I love the wee embroidery kit. The lace on the postcard and card is mind boggling... definitely something to aspire too! I hope your wee motif is as lovely. Thank you for the doily patterns. I must get back to my pillow now my DD's tablecloth is finished. Your comment about conquering your fear of leaves is a bit of a give away, so I may have worked out who you are before next month, as I can remember your comment in a posting. :-) HHHhhmm - OIDFA conference in Japan in 2010 - that's a bit closer than Greece.

Dear Secret Pal, I received your parcel Wednesday, it was a sunray after a gloomy day. The day before was so sad : I first went to the funeral of a friend, in the afternoon I learned that my mother-in-law was taken to hospital and in the evening our old cat was run over by a car. One should be able to erase such days ! Anyhow, thank you so much for the special goodies that you sent. The magnetized notepads and magnets are already on the fridge. The sewing kit will go in my suitcase so I'll take it with me in Spain next month. I'll have something to do during my free time after the lace lessons I'll give there. When it will be finished I'll put my lace tools for demonstration in it and certainly the little cutter you also sent. This one seems really convenient to cut threads close to your work. I looked at the postcards also. You live in a beautiful region ! I'm looking forwards to next month when I will learn who you are. Thank you again. Liduina, from a sunny Belgium.

Hello to my Secret Pal Well - the package brightened up a decidedly gloomy week! I have just come out of hospital, after suffering the pain of a kidney stone which felt like the Rock of Gibraltar, and fully expecting to have it all sorted!But - right up until Sunday afternoon, I assumed they were going to blast it to smithereens this week - then was told that, as there were a lot of admissions to the Ward on Sunday and Monday, I would have to go home, and wait to be called back. At which point they will repeat all the tests they have already done, and make an appointment to have it all fixed . We will see. Anyway - as you can doubtless imagine, I was so pleased to receive the parcel! The thread is lovely, so I am going to have to choose the project very carefully to use it - I'll let you know what I decide. I am also delighted with the little tool keeper - and even more pleased that you had obviously made it yourself!The flower is lovely, and I do thank you so much - it will be used constantly, and I will therefore think of you a lot. The whirly note pad is great - we get through a lot of notepads in our house, but I think this one is too special to use for 'ordinary' notes - only special notes will be written on it. The tea-towel is delightful with all those kiwis - it will be used as a pillow cover, so that everyone who sees it will admire it. Now - you must really be psychic!I was due to go to a Lace Day last Saturday, but was in hospital, being dosed up with morphine (and what a difference that makes)!So - my long list of needs and wants wasn't used, but top of the list came a storage thingy for the beads - and now, thanks to you, I have one! So - many thanks indeed for all your kindness, and I do hope you are as lucky with your Secret Pal as I am with mine! I am looking forward to next month, as I am so wanting to know who you are - you have given a few clues but I wonder if I am correct. Anyway - thanks once again for your kindness, and I shall look forward to next month, to finally find out who my delightful Secret Pal is.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal in US + Mario's birthday
Dear Secret Pal, thank you for the great parcel we received yesterday. It was perfectly timed for Mario's birthday. He unwrapped the toy cars and card and socks this morning and he is so glad to receive birthday gifts from unknown friends in US. Please give our thanks to Tyler and James, too. I, too want to say a big thank you for everything you sent. The cup looks very sturdy, perfect for travelling, the memory book is very suitable to collect our family photos to show around - or my lace and other crafts photos. I will try the coffee, as soon I am back home from my 2-weeks training course. *bg* The bobbin is very special and will fit very nicely into my collection, and I also like the fine pricker very much! Thank you for all your wonderful gift which I do love and all you thoughts behind them makes each one of them very special for me. The postcards are quite interesting, too and also the pattern. You have really spoilt me and my son once again! Hugs from Martina, in Germany just having a break from the boys' birthday party - DH is busy entertaining 7 boys aged 7 to 9 yrs. *vbg* I will take care of dinner. ;-))) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To my secret pal, thank you for the parcel which I caught up to, after our postoffice messed up, but everything is okay now. We have travelled inland, from Melbourne north through N.S.W. and into Queensland, We are finally in Cairns on the coast, ready to start south again. I loved the colours in the threads, will think about a project for that, the brooch is unusual but very nice , the pricker is always handy as are spangles. the essential oils balls are at present in use in the caravan, after going through the cyclone area, where it was still raining every thing had this musty smell. but not for long. I hope that your daughters are better and you had hords of people through your house. Thank you again Margaret from Mt Eliza, now in Cairns for two more days.

To my awesome Secret Pal, I received your parcel today - DH brought to work for me after he had been home for lunch. I love it when he does that, it really makes my day :-) The bobbin holder is so lovely. I really love the bobbin pattern on the outer cloth, and to find the bobbin snug inside it was such a bonus. I love the colours on the bobbin - I am a big fan of strong colours. As for the wee note-box and pencil, that is just so cute. I am not quite sure yet where I will put it. it will be somewhere that I can see and use it regularly. I do hope you enjoy your trip to Greece and Athens. Cretan lace is a needle lace, isn't it? How lovely to be able to share a hobby with your mother. I have the incredible privilege of sharing the craft of card making with my DD - it's just such a pity that she lives a distance from us. Once more, thank you f or you gift, it is really appreciated.

Dear Secret Pal, Your parcel arrived at the end of last week but I was busy getting my son ready for his year-end dance recital and also running a garage sale. I didn't have a chance until today to really have good look at the goodies you sent. Thank you so much for everything. I think I may have to share the writing paper with my daughter - her face lit up when she saw it! The air freshener will be put in our commuter car (we have to drive my one son quite a distance for his dance classes as we live in a small town). The bobbin is lovely and I will be putting the beautiful butterfly bobbin on it. I haven't got many divider pins and I do need quite a few on one of the pieces I am working on. This one feels wonderful and I can hardly wait to start using it. However it may be a few weeks before I can as I have a lot to do in the next couple of weeks preparing my children for their summer activities and for our family trip to the west coast of Canada. I love the colour of the blue thread - now I have to find the right project to use it for.

My dear Secret Pal, Well - another lovely package, and timed just right too!The card is beautiful, with lovely words, so I will treasure that. Friends have been so kind, and sent such lovely cards, and they all help to make an awful situation just that bit more bearable. The 23rd Psalm is one of my favourites, and, along with the other little card 'God is before me' has gone straight into my Missal - I am so pleased with them both, and again, will treasure them. The beads are great - I love spangling, and I very often get the urge to re-spangle bobbins, so I will have a good supply of beads to use!The tin is lovely too - I love collecting tins of all sorts of shapes and sizes, so you can rest assured that it will be put to good use - possibly as a safe haven for beads and ready-made up spangles, so I do thank you for it. The chocolates inside it didn't last very long at all, so you can guess how pleased we were with those ... The thread is great - you can never have too much thread, can you!The patterns I am (still) designing for my sister's charity tend to use the DMC crochet cotton, so it will be well-used indeed. Lastly, the little book of Hope is lovely, and so inspirational - I have kept it by my bed, with my prayer books, so it is used almost every night! Thank you so much for your gifts - I think of you each time they are used, and I am so grateful! Love and God Bless, Carol - in Suffolk UK - where it is wet and not as warm as it should be!As soon as they slap a hose-pipe ban on us, the rain appears - maybe a hose-pipe ban is the UK equivalent of a rain dance ...

Hello Secret Pal! Thank you for another lovely parcel. You are very generous. I have always wanted a tea towel to use as a cover cloth as so many of my friends have - and now I have one! It is prettier than theirs, too. The Canadian Lace Badge will go in my display cabinet. It will be a very special reminder of you being my Secret Pal. I love the bobbins. They are beautifully turned, and I have not seen any by David Davies before. They are really beautiful. The threads are so pretty. I have not used any Oliver Twists before, but I am looking forward to trying these out. The little bowl is beautiful. I love wood, and when I opened it, I just sat and stroked it for ages - so silky! Do you know what wood it is? The postcards and notepad from Southwell Workhouse are very interesting. The notepad will be put to good use, of course, and I was fascinated to read about the Workhouse itself. I love your long newsy letters. You have certainly had a mixed time recently with your camping exploits. I had to laugh at your difficulties with the new cooker. You seem to do the same as we do - go to look at one thing and come back with something else, most often much more expensive! I should think it was quite funny to watch someone else struggling with their awning, too. I am glad you got it all sorted out in the end, and I am sure you will have many happy times in your new caravan with your very posh awning! We are now officially 'on the market'. Most of the hard work has been done in the way of decorating. We just have to maintain things as they are - not easy, as I am not a naturally tidy person, but then neither is my husband. I had just finished sorting out things in the utility room last Sunday when he came home and dumped some things on the work surface. I swept them up and put them out of sight. The next morning, he asked me where I had put them, and it took me 20 minutes to remember! We did locate them in the end, anyway. Now we are waiting for the hordes of people who are going to be clamouring to buy the house! You are lucky to have been to so many lace days recently. I am going to Chepstow on Saturday. I am so looking forward to it. Will you be there? How funny if you were - and I shall not know it is you, even if I talk to you!

Received two more wonderful parcels from Down Under, the secone one today. Loved the tea towel - it's on a pillow already covering a work in progress! The magnet is up on my refrigerator. And the spangles from last time are just waiting for a pair of bobbins -- not the ones you sent (they're lovely) but another pair I had in mind.

Dear Secret Pal! What a wonderful parcel arrived today! I am absolutely delighted with it. I was feeling a bit 'flat' after all the busy-ness of Easter, and it has really cheered me up. The bobbins are absolutely great. I love the antique ones - they have so much character and I love to think of someone else using them before me. The ones from Spain and Gozo are really great. I think someone must have told you I love to collect bobbins from other countries, and I had not got any like these. The little pincushion is so sweet - I love her lace hat, and will give my grandchildren the pleasure of naming her for me - she will certainly be a great addition to my pillow, and in aid of such a good cause too. The little notepad is so pretty - too pretty to use! I shall have to keep it out of sight when my daughter visits or she will want it. The postcards are great too - I am building up a really good collection now, and these will be a welcome addition. The scissors keeper will be so useful and I think the stretchy bit is a really good idea. I have not seen one like this before, and it looks as if it will clip to almost anything - I am always losing my scissors when I most need them. Your lovely newsy letter is good reading. I am glad I am not the only one to hide pillows out of sight when not in use. I have hidey-holes all over the house for lace equipment. The trouble comes when I have to remember where I have put the thing I particularly want. I am determined to be more organised in our new house - but I am sure I have said that before! We have not yet got to the point of putting the house on the market, but hope to be able to do so in two or three weeks' time. We have been in this house longer than we have ever been anywhere before, and there seems to be 101 bits and pieces to finish first. I have been on the internet to look at other houses in the area we want to move to, and have found some good ones, but we are being very restrained and are not allowing ourselves to become too excited in case the ideal one is gone by the time we have an offer on ours. We are supposed to be downsizing too, and I am having such difficulty in deciding what I can bear to part with. It is all very exciting - and exhausting! I hope you have a lovely time when you go away in your caravan - have you planned many trips over the coming season? Of course, lace equipment and knitting is an essential part of holiday packing, isn't it? It is in our camper, anyway! Thank you once again for a lovely parcel. I hope the lady sending to you is as generous as you are to me.

Dear Secret Pal, I hope you had a wonderful Easter. Your package arrived just in time for Easter. The cute decorated egg joined the other ones on our Easter egg tree and the chick joined us for Easter dinner! I'm afraid my daughter likes the chick quite a bit and I think he/she will end up as a permanent fixture in my daughter's room (except at Easter). The bobbin is gorgeous! It has such a wonderful feel to it and is a great size for gimps. Is it rosewood? I'm just in the process of spangling some of my bobbins so the spangle arrived at a most opportune time. And of course thread is always appreciated. Last but certainly not least, the chocolates are a nice treat as I don't join the children on their Easter egg hunt and they are loathe to give up any chocolate to my husband and myself.

Hello to my Secret Pal, Well - firstly, I think you were very brave to sign up for the exchanges when you are moving house!Isn't that supposed to more stressful than almost anything else in life - but it sounds as if you are coping well! The package was delightful to receive! The small of the lavender even before I opened the package fully was great - I love the scented sachets, and the toiletries, and they are in use already. One of the sachets is in my car, and the other strung over the lamp above the computer - it will stop us getting stressed, I am sure. The colour of the thread is lovely too. I am getting (very gradually!) more adventurous with colures, and those muted colours I love. I will now have to find a 'special' pattern to use it. The little pink bag is super too - in fact, the lavender sachet is in that, in my car, so every time I turn a corner, I am reminded of you and your generosity! Now the ear-rings. What can I say? I am delighted with them, and am looking forward to wearing them - roll on Easter Day!!!You'd be surprised - I love the shell, and one of my class members toured Australia and New Zealand in a camper van for three months last year, and brought back some earrings - but she asked me to spangle a pair of bobbins with them as her ears aren't pierced, and she very rarely wears ear-rings. I was pleased to do it for her, but was very envious, as the Paua shell is so lovely - but now I have my own, so I am pleased indeed. I also owe you an apology for last month!I didn't mention the package of 'Mud' toiletries, did I.It wasn't because I wasn't pleased, it was because they were already in my bathroom, being used, so thank you so much for them - I sometimes have trouble as my skin is awkwardly sensitive, but they aren't causing any problems, and are definitely doing good! So - thank you once again for everything, I will hope that the move goes well and in a trouble-free manner, and also hope that your SP is as good to you! Love and God Bless, Carol - your Secret Pal.

to my secret Pal thank you for my parcel which was waiting for me, when I got home from working in the op shop. The Easter card is lovely and the cross stitch, which I will do when I have plenty of time, I will use the scarf now it is coming into winter, the nail thing I will put in our van , and the lovely needle holder it is my sign of spring to come. I will let you know that for the next three months I could be late in answering you, as we are going to be travelling around, our mail is to be redirected, so it will catch up with me at some time.Hope all goes well with you and you get the house on the market soon and don't have too much trouble selling it.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you so much for my parcel which arrived today. Through taking part in the Secret Pal exchange for a few years, I have built up a wonderful collection of bears from around the world and the beautiful one that you have sent me has been added to this collection! Thank you also for the thread which I have no doubt will be worked with as soon as I find the right pattern for it. Happy Easter to you and your family, Anne Nicholas Hanworth Middx.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for another great package this month. The compact is really neat - I haven't seen anything like it before and as I don't have a large purse, it'll be perfect. I'll be able to enjoy the candle while taking a bath. The little 'cards' are cute and will be put on display. I have a new pattern which I will be starting this week (I hope) and the pin cushion will come in very handy. And I have quite a few bobbins that need spangling so I can really use the spangling wire. I love the spangle you sent - the middle bead is gorgeous! Last month I forgot to thank you for the bookmark. My daughter put it in her book so quickly that I barely saw once it came out of the package!

Received another wonderful parcel from Down Under yesteday. Loved the bobbins and thank you for telling me what kind of wood they are. The hand-dyed local threads are a wonderful shade. I'm going to save them for something special. One note pad will go right in my purse and the other will take its place when ready. And the sachet smells so good! I love your notes on the postcards -- they give me a flavor of the country. I have been constantly using the book mark from last time. It is so handy for my bedtime reading, so you know the last thing that I think about is Australia when I place the bookmark on the page -- thinking about saving my pennies for a trip to Australia sometime!

Dear Secret Pal, Thankyou for your lovely parcel. The hand made scarf is very much appreciated. Our weather is starting to cool already so it will be very handy. Thank you also for the stamps, my grandson wanted to stamp them for his mum so we have already put them to good use. The chocolates were yum and the M M container will come in very handy indeed. The only containers like that that we get here are not as long so they dont prove to come in handy for many things unfortunately. The Hangtag has found a home on a new bag I have made so thank you for that also. Well, until next month, many many thanks once again.

I love the tin of mints, and the picture on the front is precious, I love animals and I live in an house in an apartment complex and am not allowed, I do however, have a black stray cat that comes around and I feed her. Who would fix a cat and put them on the street, oops I am getting off the subject g anyway, The bobbin is already on my bobbin tree, I made it out of a ring and candle stand. Oops sorry again, the bobbin key ring is so lovely and the sachet smells wonderful...and Hagerstown, Md. is just up the road a few hours away from us.

Dear Secret Pal, today, when I came home, I found a very pretty envelop. It was so unusual, that I knew immediately it must come from you! The cross-stitch magazin is very tempting again. I love it! The necklace is pretty - Did you make it? I can't figure out the technique, but I really like it! The pencilcase will help me to keep my felt-pens for the colour-code drawings together and to see which are in place. :- My children like the shapes of the magic towels. I asked the girls, not to tell their little brother what they are. ** At the moment he tries to avoid taking showers and I told him to take the little thing in the bathtub with him tonight. So he is quite eager to take a bath in a few hours. *bg* Thank you for everything and last but not least for your letter. I enjoy each single thing you and your son chose for us. Btw, my daughter would like to know, how old your son is.

Hello Secret Pal! Thank you so much for my parcel which arrived this morning. It is lovely. I really love these bobbins, as the thread always stays where you want it and does not hop off the top at the wrong moment, and the pyrography is just so beautiful. I have a confession to make - Jenny Hester is my lace teacher, so I imagine she is having a bit of a laugh about all this! She has been very good and kept the secret, and I shall not try to persuade her to tell me -- I shall enjoy the surprise at the end even more this time! We seem to have more than Jenny in common, since you have grandchildren, and so do I, but unfortunately mine are not interested in lacemaking, and you have a caravan and we have a camper. Do you like dogs, too? Ours are spoilt rotten, but both really deserve it. Thank you once again for the parcel! The bobbins will be on my pillow and in use very shortly. 'Speak' to you next month.

Dear Secret Pal, I received your parcel this morning. I was a little affraid in restrospect for the glas bobbin when I remembered how the postman throw it brutaly in the letterbox but everything was ok. The bobbin was safe. It's really a nice bobbin with beautiful pearly shines. You're lucky to have a friend who makes such beautiful bobbins. Thank you also for the binche pattern from Anny Noben.

To my secret Pal thank you for the parcel which arrived on Wednesday, sorry I did not get to send the message but I had to get ready for big craft show we have, I was demonstrating all day yesterday so was rather tired by the time I got home. Then we are demonstating again on Saturday for the day. The note pad will be very handy, the bobbins are beautiful so nice to touch, and I will try the tea.Hope things are not getting you down having moved so many times, wqe vowed never again, lucky we are close to the grandchildren now.

To my secret a big thank you for the exquisite bobbin - such craftsmanship and a choice of unusual woods, it will be a pleasure to use, thank you. I bulk buy beech midland bobbins from Tim Parker, so my commemorative bobbins (from lace weekends) and the bobbins I have received in a swap from Jeannette Fischer (south africa) glow in their beauty nestling amongst their less adorned brethrengrin and your bobbins from last month and this month will join the other beauties.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal - Thanks
Hello to a very generous person! I was delighted to receive my package this morning! and what lovely goodies, beautifully wrapped, and with a lovely (hand-made) card too - what a person of talents! The wind-chimes are delightful - I am one of those who cannot go into a store selling windchimes without giving them a try, so I am really pleased with them. I will hang them over the window catch in the 'Lace Place' so that every breath of wind will activate them, and I will be reminded of you. The little calendar is very handy, so that is already stuck to the computer monitor - saves me straining to see the wall-chart my husband has on the wall, which is too high for me to see clearly, so that is greatly appreciated. The tape measure is a stroke of genius too - my 'Lacemakers' Circle' tape has just given up the ghost, so you must be psychic! Did you do the cross-stitch yourself - it is lovely, and will be treasured. Especially if it helps the inches of lace grow into yards ... The key-ring!No one else can 'borrow' it as it has my initial on it, so I am very pleased indeed with it - I do thank you very much. So - thank you so very much for all the goodies - I am really pleased, and do hope that your SP is as good to you!

I would like to say that I received a parcel from the U.K. this morning, and what a treat it was. Thank you so much! The spider is sitting up on my computer desk by my printer.. I couldn't wait until Christmas to display him, and I loved the little legend that you enclosed with him. The bobbin with the forget-me-nots is beautiful as is the pin lifter. The thread is most welcome, and I look forward to using it in due time. Thank you so much for your most thoughtful parcel Maxine - in N.Z.

Hi to my Secret Pal in NZ! I was so pleased to receive the goodies this morning after a not-too-good start to the day! The rose scented bath stuff, and the silver sugar star were looked at with envy by my 4 - year old grand-daughter - she is into pink and purple in a very big way and is training to be a Princess, so we both loved them! The nail decals were also well-received - I do love things like that, and will enjoy putting them on my nails. The magnetic pad and the gift-tags are so pretty - almost too good to use! - so I do thank you so much for them, and the beads - I love spangling, so will greatly enjoy either buying new bobbins to use them with (?) or changing the beads on bobbins I have - I'll leave you to ponder which option will appeal most! Once again, many thanks indeed - I will look forward to next month and, ultimately, finding out who you are!If things had gone to plan just after my husband and I were married, we would be living in New Zealand now, and possibly lace-making neighbours - what a wonderful thought! Thanks once again, and may your pins never bend. Carol To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Secret Pal in New Jersey, Your parcel arrived yesterday afternoon, much earlier than expected. It was a lovely surprise ! I'm very honored to be a member of the Lost Art Lacers now. I spent all the evening with my dictionary (I'm French speaking), reading your magazine and the cookbook. The commemorative bobbin is very nice also. Chocolates, tea and honey sticks will be much appreciated. My youngest daughter and I are tea lovers and when she's at home we allways have tea time together. I've never seen honey sticks in Belgium, it's new for me. I find it's very ingenious ! Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to learn more about you. Liduina from a chilly Belgium.

To my secret pal, Your package arrived today, what a treat, I love the bobbin and no I am not a member of the circle, sometimes I think maybe I should join, but cash flow always gets in the way. G I don't have a lot of bobbins, still trying to find a place that is reasonable in prices, usually what it get is in secret pal exchanges or ebay. (They love my money) I love the key ring ( not the magnet you thought) but it is already on my key chain. The Bobbin Lace Book is quite nice, I can't wait to have myself a good read. But, the icing on the cake (I think) is the crochet hook. I love antiques and it has imprinted on it that it was made in 1911. Wow, DH said put it up so you don't lose it, but I just want to show it off. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era, I love all that is old much more than new. Any way, Thank you for all you sent, and you are right, if you like it, it seems that I do to.

To my secret pal in Australia Thank you for the lovely package that arrived today. I will have to keep a tight hold on the address book and pencil case as my DIL loves dolphins and they are so unusual I am sure that she will try to claim them. I will add the handkerchief to the small collection of hankies that I have from various places around the world. I have a photo of my great niece that will be just right for the frame and I think that I will make a mat in tatting with the beautiful aqua thread. The postman had a little trouble with the address as it is no 27, I think that I may have confused you as this was the answer to question 3. I hope that your DH is well on the way to a full recovery. It is not easy to fit everything in when hospital visits take up a large part of the day. I look forward to receiving your packages in the coming months. Thank you so much, I wonder who you are?

I was just about to order new book plates, and my honeysuckle is already trying to bloom, so those are fun and timely! The bobbin will be a welcomed addition to a Bedfordshire piece I'm working on that seems too be sucking bobbins off of other projects. You were very thoughtful with this package.

Dear Secret Pal in Australia, Many thanks for the lovely parcel of goodies that arrived yesterday. I had a bad day at work so it was a welcome relief to have something lovely to open ! I love the teddy key ring ! It has already been added to my keys. I might follow your suggestion and use the fan sticks when I make the fan that I have been promising myself for about the last 5 years ! Although the actual fan is very pretty.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for the package this month. My daughter thought it was great too! She thought I should be sharing some of the items with her. The photo hanger is great as we have a lot of photos that we like to display and there isn't any room left on the refrigerator. I love the little cards - they are perfect for a short note.

It is very lovely and I will treasure it. The calendar is great we are planning a trip to NZ next year and we are looking at the pictures for places to visit when we are there. Thanks for the notepad. It will be quite useful. The beads and the spider will go into my bobbin kit and quickly be attached to the bobbins that you sent earlier. As we will be away this Christmas I haven't set up the Christmas tree but I do collect Christmas decorations and this one is so beautiful it will definitely be a feature. What a lovely little book mark. My husband has made me buy lots of books to take on the plane so I don't drive him nuts so it will go in with them. I love the thread it will be nice to tat. And the little bag and soap, fantastic. I hope that you will be able to tell me the story behind the little bag when we are properly introduced. Cheers for now, Yvonne.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for another wonderful package of goodies. The bobbins are beautiful and feel wonderful. I haven't seen that style before so I am wondering if you made them? I don't have a lazy susan and have always wanted one so I was really happy to see the one you included. The light pull is great as it really fits in with our decor. We have a lot of unpainted wood moldings, etc in our house and the light in our bedroom does need a pull!! I have to confess I am not exactly sure what the other items are used for. I think the two smaller pieces of wood with the pins look like they could somehow hold bobbins in place on a pillow - I'm just not sure how. Please let me know if I am right.

Dear Secret Pal Thank you for another lovely parcel which arrived this morning. You must have bought loads of that pretty wrapping paper in my favourite colour! This parcel was just great, as always. I love the little teddy, and he supports such a good cause too. I support Breast Cancer Charities myself, as my Mum was a victim. The emery board is in another of my favourite colours and will be saved for a special occasion! The little candle holder and candle are so pretty - almost too pretty to use - and the apron will be pressed into service over Christmas, as the one I have now is a bit past its best, to say the least. (VBG) The little coin purse is so sweet. I like the belt loop on the back, and it will be so useful when I take the dogs for a walk, as I will not have to take my bag, but will have some change handy for parking etc. The serviettes/napkins you sent me in a previous parcel have been used and admired when we have had special visitors. I have never seen such pretty ones in England. I am greatly looking forward to finding out who you are next month. Thank you once again for my parcel.

Hi Secret Pal, Thanks for this months parcel of goodies. I love the needle case and my aunty who is a lace maker and a bobbin maker will be very jealous when I tell her about the rescued trees! The bobbin is very unusual and I don't have another like it. I also love the spangles and will put them to good use. I had guessed in the end that you must of been here or sent someone else who was over. What a great pity that I missed you and Faye it would of been so lovely to meet you! I was at work but only work a mile away and could of popped home if I'd known you were coming. I'm surprised that you found our house at all ! Friends here have a problem with the aptly named Wigley Road and I'm not surprised you got lost trying to return ! What a fantastic trip you made and you were very lucky to visit so many countries and so many lace places! The past months have gone so quickly and I can't believe next month is the last.

Hi Secret Pal, I knew something special was in the mail when DH made of point of asking if I had found the mail by my computer. It was your package! (He usually doesn't say anything about the mail.) My little cat does not like the lavender sachet, so I have no fear that he will steal it. Whatever I put it with will also be safe from him. G The sachet will remind me not only of summer, but of my English Secret Pal and my visit to England a few years ago. The castle pictures will do the same. I saw several castles on my tour that I would have loved to visit, but we only saw the outside. (sigh) The bookplates will be used for special lace books. The bobbin and cover cloth are most welcome, and will be put to work soon. The overlocked edging on the cover cloth is a fancy stitch I've not seen on anything around here. Very pretty. I'm looking forward to next month when I can put a name with the bobbin, and other things you've sent. The package looked like it had been opened, and the second sachet you mentioned was missing. Thanks for the thought, anyway. I'm in the middle of Christmas ornaments and tend to start more than one project at a time so have several pillows in use. I think I'm ahead of deadline for most of my Christmas lace commitments, so the lacemaking is going well. I do need to keep at it, though, as the holiday season is creeping up quite fast and I'd like a few extra ornaments or bookmarks on hand for those unexpected occasions when a little something gift is needed. Thank you for all the treats in your package. It will be fun next month to find out who's been sending them to me this round. Have a great holiday in Wales.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you very much for another wonderful package which arrived today. The stick pins are superb. I had to search in my dictionary for the words moose antler . Those pins will have a very special meaning for me. The little spanish bobbins will definitivly hang in the Christmas tree and I'll add some other ones so they don't feel alone. I'll also just have the time to make the little cross stitch star for Christmas. The hot pads will be used this evening, I'll need them to take the hot dish out of the oven. The girls are coming back for the week-end and I prepared a traditional belgian recipe : chicons au gratin (I think the english word for chicon is chicory). I'm looking forward to next month to find out who you are. Thank you again. Liduina from a rainy Belgium.

I'm just back from our post box with TWO parcels full of all sorts of goodies from my secret pal - divider pins, notelets, Christmas decorations, bobbins (the glass one was sadly broken) candles, bead box and reading light and The Little Lace Book. Well worth waiting for the October parcel to have two in one day - thank you so much. Win Lambert Tasmania Australia.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you very much for my parcel which arrived today, along with some goodies that I sent back from France (just like Christmas really). I love the divider pin and bobbins they are very special, and thank you for the Peg bag and variegated thread I am sure they will come in handy.

Dear Kiwi Secret Pal, I was very happy when I drove past my letterbox today and saw you parcel . I had already been out to check the mail earlier and found nothing. I love the magnetic notepad. I had run out of fridge notes but hadn't got around to chasing after a new one, they are hard to find sometimes. The pretty little compact mirror will go straight into my handbag. They are so handy to have around, but I haven't got one this nice. You must have had fun at the AGM stalls. I love the little bookmark and the pincushion is so nifty. I will feel like I was there with you when I use the 2005 bobbins. Thanks for the bath soak. I will think of you gratefully when I use it. In fact I think it will go very nicely with a glass of wine and a book. Looking forward to meeting you computer face to computer face. Yvonne.

Dear Secret Pal, Many thanks for the lovely parcel, the chocolates were delicious, I had to try one and then I couldnt stop :-) The notepads will come in very handy, especially the one for keeping lace notes in. I usually put them somewhere safe and then not remember where that safe is . Must be an age thing I think. Thankyou also for the bobbins and thread I am about to start a new project so they will be in use very soon. I must tell you also that the spider stamp you sent me last month has had a lot of use. My grandson has taken a liking to it also so he keeps making his mum cards covered in different coloured spiders. It is just the right size for him to use and he is so careful not to get ink on the wood. Thankyou once again. Kindest Regards Julie From New Zealand.

To my Secret Pal, Your interesting package came in today's mail. It's always fun to open mysterious packages. The crochet hook is appreciated, and will be used. It's so kind of you to share with me. My cat liked the key tag but didn't get to carry it away. I still have it safe and sound. It's cute. The magnet will go in the kitchen and will remind me of my trip to the UK a few years ago. I saw the various animals in person on that trip. The little frames are delightful. It will take some thinking to find the perfect little pieces of lace for each of them. I haven't seen any like them around here. Only a couple more months, and then I can find out whom is sending all these delights to me. I look forward to finding out.

Dear Secret Pal Our postman calls at 7.15 in the morning, so I had your parcel to open before breakfast. As always, it was a really great one. The dogs have already been playing with their toy, and very nicely taking it in turns. The make-up kit is really good and neat - I shall use it when we go away as it will be so easy to pack. The tea I tried with my breakfast, and it is delicious. The little angel pin is destined for my favourite jacket - I love the way the little heart moves. I was fascinated to read about Floriade, and can't wait to finish this message so I can go on the website to see where you went! Thank you so much for another lovely parcel. I can't wait to find out who you are!

Dear Secret Pal, All my apologies for not replying sooner but I was abroad for two weeks. I came back this week-end and found your parcel amongst the mail, like a nice welcome home present. Thank you so much once again for the lovely gifts. The pencil bag with the pencil comes just at the right time because my old one becomes a little worn and to small. The chocolate treats will be appreciated too. Halloween is quite new for us in Belgium. Three years ago, it was the first time children came to my door. When I was a child Halloween didn't exist here at all. I'll probably give the ladybug to my youngest girl, her nickname on internet is ladycox (cox from coccinelle = ladybug in French) because we have an old VW beetle (also named coccinelle in French) we just restored so she can drive it. The cover cloth is lovely and I'll be very proud when I go for lace demonstrations to put it on my pillow. I hope you'll solve all the problems concerning your conference and wish you a good autumn.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for another wonderful parcel. I wish I had the 'free' time you have!! I have added this month's card to the display of your cards on our piano. I usually take down accumulated cards every month or so but I am leaving yours there as they are so beautiful. I love the piece of lace on this month's. Currently I have had little time for lacemaking with a busy job and very busy children. The pyrographed cat on the needle case is wonderful. We have three cats right now since we have decided to keep a kitten from one of the other cats' litters (she was a stray and has since been spayed). I would like to reduce it to two but it's a pretty hard decision to decide which one needs to go. The pin cushion is great and I am hoping I will be using it soon as I need to start Christmas decorations within a couple of weeks if they are to get finished in time for Christmas. And thank you for the thread. I may try it for the beautiful butterfly pattern you sent, although I don't think that will happen until after Christmas. Thank you so much for everything - I love all your handiwork!! You are very lucky to have the time to do so many things you love.

Dear Secret Pal, I must first of all apologies for not replying sooner, I dont know how I managed to do it but I overlooked sending you this thankyou. I was thrilled to receive your parcel, thankyou so much for the lovely spider stamp. I have already put him to good use. The threads, wire and beads will be very useful also. I am slowly resorting my bobbins, threads etc and rearranging a few spangles so your timing is perfect. I am doing a class in a couple of weeks to make a new fancy recipe book so the pad will be perfect for putting in it. You must be a mind reader. As for the picture holder, I always have photos waiting for somewhere to put them so it will be very useful. Many thanks once again.

Dear Secret Pal, Your mystery package arrived safely this month. Thank you for all the surprises you had for me. The socks are certainly cute! I smile along with the smiley faces when I see them. The horseshoe thread lifter will be most useful. I didn't yet have one so I thank you for coming to my rescue. It's really necessary with some types of laces. It will go in my main tool bag so it's handy with any project. The coaster will be trimmed out in lace. I'll have to see if I have a completed piece that will fit, or if I need to search out a special pattern to fill it. One way or the other, it will hold a piece of lace. Thank you again for all the treats! I'm curious to find out who you are. Alice in Oregon -- where a storm is coming, and Lace Day is Saturday.

Dear Secret Pal in New Zealand, I was very excited when I got your parcel today. I thought I was going to the post office to pick up a parcel from my DD1 in the US and instead the parcel was from New Zealand. Firstly thank you for your encouraging note. It was very positive, Unfortunately this situation must come up from time to time. Thankyou for coming on board. The little bear was so cute and I am going to have to hide it from DD2 who has earmarked it. We also loved the oven mitt puppet, it's little ears sticking up are gorgeous. Did you make it, we thought you did. I will have a bath later and scrubby mitt my legs, very handy. The calendar will be fantastic and I will be able to remember you all next year when I look up the date. I am not a prolific lace maker but I will have to get the lace out now so as to use the beautiful bobbins. I like to have bobbins of different woods. And I am hiding the note pad so my family doesn't take off with it to write insignificant notes on. Cheers, your pal, Yvonne.

Dear Secret Pal in Australia, Many thanks for the lovely cloth from Venice and for the large bobbin. The cloth will definitely be used as a cover cloth as it is too good to be used as a tea towel !! Thanks also for the postcard. I am pretty sure that my Aunt has been to the same place in Portugal and she also says it is beautiful. Hope you had a lovely holiday and thanks for sharing it with me!!

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for another wonderful package of goodies!! You must have many talents. This month's card is beautiful and so unique - at least I haven't seen one before. Did your husband help with the metal work on it? I adore the bobbins! The plum spangles are just great and I don't mind having heavy spangles - I've made quite a number of them myself in order to use special beads. My children and I make a number of Christmas ornaments that are tape laces with lots of sewings so the crochet hook will certainly come in handy. I assume the polished rock is a type of agate? It's very pretty. And the macaroons arrived safely and were enjoyed by all of us. I couldn't manage to keep them all for myself.

Dear Secret Pal in Belgium, Thank you very much for this months parcel. It was a nice surprise when I came home from work!!! I can't wait to start the bracelet, the colour is perfect, it goes with everything that I wear. I am going to use a translator I found on the internet to make sure I know what the instructions say. It will be fun to do. I will wear it and show it off at my next lace event. The beads on the divider pin are so pretty, I think I will use it as a pin on a jacket to start with. If I ever get short of a divider pin, I will know where there is an extra one. The card is lovely, the work that went into that project is unbelieveable.

Dear Secret Pal Many thanks for your lovely parcel of wonderful gifts. I will be totally honest and let you know that it arrived last Friday. I have however been busy entertaining my nephew visiting from Canada. My children were so excited to see him so I am sure you can imagine it has been a very hectic time. Now he is visiting other relatives and I have time to catch up! I am so sorry for the delay in acknowledging your parcel. I could smell the gorgeous aroma from the soap before I opened the parcel - that one will be kept for special soaks in the bath when I need to relax!! The beads are very special and will definitely come in useful. The sewing machine badge is fun and will go on my pin cushion. The quilting patten looks great. I have never attempted this sort of quilting before - but my mum has! Maybe she will do it for me We had a lovely holiday - thank you for asking. It was very relaxing and nice and hot too. Don't worry about getting my son's name wrong (it was very close anyway) - he definitely enjoyed the lollipop!! It lasted for ages!! Once again, thank you for everything.

Dear Secret Pal in Belgium Thank you so very much for the lovely package. It was here when I got home from work. The mail must have been really late today as I left for work at 3 p.m. I will wind the bobbins for a mini class on Saturday, so I will put them to use right away. They made a nice noise when I was handling them, I can hardly wait to use them. The magnets are very cute, they will look great on my fridge. I just bought some new pins, they will have to wait patiently for a new box, I will take my time to eat the candies. The tins are very pretty and I know the candies will be enjoyed. The chocolates are delicious, my daughter and I had to sample one. I love the lace you sent last month, I am happy to know that you designed it yourself, it is beautiful. If you have been making lace for 18 years, you must have a lot of beautiful things. I have only been making lace for 5 years and I finally am able to make something. I feel like the first few years were spent making samples.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you so much for my parcel which arrived today. This afternoon I went to visit my oldest daughter in Brussels where she is studying and find the parcel at home when I came back. The magnet clips have an irresistible smile and are already on my fridge, ready to hold some important notes. The continental commemorative is beautiful and absolutely compatible with the bobbins I actually use on a Fleuri de Bruges lace. I'll soon try it. The tiny clips arrived intact and I'll add them to my lace kit. Thank you also for the fishy notebook, the lovely cards and the pin from Oregon. What are the flowers and the bird on it ?

Dear Secret Pal Thank you so much for my parcel which arrived this morning. What a lovely lot of goodies - and I have plans for all of them already! The wombat is gorgeous and I have decided to call him Wally. I love soft toys, and this one is so different and cute. My daughter will be so envious. I am going to display him on my dressing table. The bookmark is in use already - I have just started reading a new book, and was using a bit of an envelope to mark my place. The artwork on it is very interesting, and I love the design on the snake's back - it looks like you should be able to adapt it to a lace design! The embroidery kit is so pretty. I shall take it with me when I go away on holiday in a week's time. It will not take up too much room, and will be fun to do. The bag is very nice, and as I have an 'event' to go to soon that I am a bit apprehensive about, I will use it then for the first time and it will be just right. The spangles are so pretty and unusual. I have never seen beads that shape before, and they will certainly look really special on my pillow. The gloves you sent me last time really do work - I use them all the time in the shower, and am so smooth now! The threads you sent me are in use in a Hardanger embroidery that I have been wanting to do for a long time when I could find the right threads, and these are perfect. Thank you once again for a lovely parcel. 'Speak' to you next month. Take care.
