Monday (that was the 10th, right?) brought two more teams to Dish Rag Tag Glory.
The eighth team to complete this outstanding journey is:
The Cotton Commandoes!
See Michael’s hand? We just pulled things out of the mailbox and through the car window – he was nice enough to lean back and not get in the way of my pictures. Marcia Louise (scroll to the August 26 entry – it’s a must-see) sent me some really lovely things!
It was like opening a box of sunshine!
I love yellow and Marcia Louise loves sunflowers (just about the happiest flower there is), so this leg of the swap worked out very well for both of us! The note card is super cool – it’s little and tied with ribbon but unfolds into a sheet of note paper (my visual aid shots of this phenomena did not work out). I can’t wait to plant the sunflowers! The Cotton Commandoes also provided a post card from each of the box’s stops along the way. My post card collection has officially outgrown the thing I use for a bulletin board so I am going to start a scrap book instead.
The ninth team to finish the race (arriving on the same day as the eighth) is:
The Happy Yarn Hags!
The Happy Yarn Hag box arrived directly from Elizabeth.
So is that some of your hand spun that held the wrapping together?
Yay! Burt’s Bees stuff! Her card says that after a relay race, your feet deserve some pampering (whahahaha). Here is an alternate view of the box – the Happy Yarn Hags have autographed the inside flaps!
Thank you so much and big congratulations to both teams! I love going to the mail box – each day brings new surprises!

Great goodies and what a neat idea to include a postcard from everybody!
Congratulations, Happy Yarn Hags! Emily was just excited…..the grafitto inside the flaps on the box is yours and yours alone, not ours (The Cotton Commandoes) We want to give credit where credit is due, and a great idea I might add! Glad you liked the box of sunshine, Emily. Check the sock, it has a Texas quarter in the toe. Hugs, Marcia Louise
Hopefully today you will have another goodie box ready to bring a smile to your face.
Our team might be dead last but it was fun game to play. Thanks for being a wonderful hostess. May we have another go round soon!
Doh! You are so right! I am fixing my typo now – it is totally the Happy Yarn Hags who wrote all over the box flaps!
Running Ragged’s box was kidnapped by the postal service…
But of course it was my handspun on the wrapping! Thanks for a great swap/tag/event!!!
Thanks for everything, Emily. It was fun seeing our battered box arrive at the finish line stuffed with Marcia’s sunshine. Now I suppose you’ll keep busy knitting up all that yarn you received and posting photos of all your creations. But first, take a day off!
I posted a thing about the rag race under your lovely vintage bedspread pic. I hope you see it De
