Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Sweet Nothings seem to be arriving all over the country! Since my package is on the way to another country, I’ll show you what I got instead of what I sent to save the surprise for Barbara.

My treats from Lisa are all wrapped up!

Including all the chocolate – but not for long!

Yay!

Soak! Yarn slicey thing (Aren’t those COOL?! I’ve never had one but Granny Nix did and I was envious)! The sheep gauge/needle size guy had especially perfect timing, I couldn’t find any of mine this morning and I can’t tell a 2 from a 3 just by looking! And I was contemplating cookies so I’m gonna take the cookie cutter as a sign. I can’t get a decent close up of the stitch markers (I love stitch markers – my knitting likes to be fancy), but they have itty bitty complicated findings and wee beads (just like I like em). There’s even a cat, but I suspect Ellie will want to wear that one as a charm so I already hid it in one of my tins.

Ellie has a treat from Lisa too, but she’s out picking up the new car so it isn’t opened yet. I keep thinking that the new car might be it’s own post, but there is not that much of a story. We traded in the Jeep for a Prius. I’m not sure where all our stuff will go and what happens when we need to pick up a stray, but it’s deep blue and gets very good gas milage. I’ve still got high hopes that Jeep will figure out how to make a hybrid before it’s time for another new one.

Many many thanks from both of us, Lisa!

It’s time for a little bit of a Sweet Nothing round-up don’t you think? Share in the comments what you sent to who – and if you’ve posted on your blog about your goodies, please include a link!
