A Great Start to the Weekend!

First, I want to apologize to my Fall into Autumn Dishcloth swap partner Holly W. for not posting earlier.

I came home from work on Friday to find a package at my front door. It was full of goodies from Holly! Each package was individually wrapped in tissue paper. When I got everything unwrapped, this is what I found.

Look at the beautiful cloth! I have to get over my fear of using dishcloths made by friends on dishes. I have no problem using the ones I make, but I see how nice others are and I just want to savor them. This giant bar of soap smells lovely!


Holly sent me a not one, not two, but three skeins of yarn! The one in the center is a cotton by Patagonia in the most beautiful fall colors. I think I'll make something nice for myself with it. Any suggestions? I see myself using the two skeins of cotton on future dishcloths, perhaps Christmas gifts.


It's always great to get some treats to eat and drink in a swap package. Holly searched this blog, which I hardly ever post to, for clues to what I like and got it just right! The pumpkin spice tea by Stash is delicious! As I write, I am drinking some in the pumpkin mug. I love the dark chocolate Lindor truffles and the Twizzlers are my favorite non-chocolate candy.


Thank you, Holly, for being such a great and thoughtful pal!
