Seriously, I do. Look at this cheerful package I found on my doorstep (minus the pinecones to disguise my address). It's Monday--what a great thing to come home to and make the start of the work week a little less painful. OK, a lot less painful.
I laid everything out on the patio table, but in order to photograph it all together I had to stand on a chair that rocks and I just wasn't getting a good picture. So here are several pictures instead.
The little hand is a needle sizer! Each of the holes is labeled 3.5 mm, etc. Isn't that great? That's a box of black current candy. The decoration says "welcome" in Finnish. No, I don't speak it, but my pal provided the translation.
This beautiful blue sock yarn was dyed by my pal. Hm, she's apparently both a knitter and a dyer. This will make some lovely socks!
This is a towel with a dancing lady. I wonder if there's a Finnish story behind it? 
Back to that blue yarn...my pal sent a pattern for some wavy socks. They're really pretty. It's in Finnish, but she also provided the link for the English translation. When I finish knitting the socks, I can block them with this sock blocker.Thank you, secret pal, for a great package and a fun ending to the start of the week!

Love that little hand - how original. Your package is great!!
Oh, it has arrived. A stone drobbed of my mind.
The dancing lady is little My, a character from Momins, written by Tove Jansson.
And the blogger and the hand are made of recycled materials.
