Wow oh wow oh wowsers
If you are the jealous kind, maybe you shouldn’t read any further, just close the page and wait until I post again.
My KTE package arrived at my parents place for me, my sister texted me to tell me it was there, and oh the anticipation of it was enough to keep me going through the absolute appaling traffic (almost an hour to move 3 miles, people???) and then to my folks place….where I had to wait yet again to open it when I got home.
You have no idea what the wait did to me, and then to have to take it out of its very large parcel and line it up here to photograph it….without knowing what was inside??
 Everything was wrapped in a lovely green ribbon which I have to say has been put aside for use later in possible sewing projects…Â
Without going through individual photos of it all, I’ll just regale you with many photos of all of it instead. Sound like a plan?
So obviously before I tell you what was in the parcel, I should really tell you that the person who put this Most Amazing Parcel together for me, at I’m sure great cost to herself, is Carol of Celadon Cupcake. Go over and visit her blog for me and let her know what an absolute amazing treater she is!!
So above is the complete package. can you see how gobsmacked I would have been opening all those goodies?
Really, each item I opened just made me feel more in awe, and absolutely delighted with every little bit of everything she sent. I had a bit of a lump in my throat by the end of all the packages.
She sent 5, yes thats FIVE, my good folks, skeins of Knitpicks Andean Silk. can you believe that? they are so soft and yummy. Not only that, but she sent a cake of Kyoto silk/superfine kid mohair as well!
There was bars of really nice chocolate and a peanut brittle bar- how did she know that this type of thing is my all time favourite? I forget myself sometimes until I come across some and then am reminded.
Nestled underneath the chocolate and yarn is a Cooks magazine which looks really interesting. I still have to have a really good look through it but have had a flick through.
Here you can see some of Carols sewing skills. Aren’t they amazing? Hair ties, a fantastic pincushion and a lovely tissue holder, filled with tissues. Behind that is some vanilla handcream (mmmhhh) and underneath the Kyoto yarn is some of her homemade lavendar bath salts (mmmmhhh again)
The material was used to wrap the magazines together, isn’t it lovely?
 I can’t believe that she put a Japanese magazine in the parcel!! Carol was in Taiwan recently and picked this up there for me. Its soooo coool and I love it. To the right of that is a pattern for some Mary Janes, really nice pattern, definately will be made. To the right of that is ReadyMade magazine, another amazing mag that I’m really looking forward to sitting down and having a good read of.
Last, but definately not least, is the See’s Famous Old time Candies. Oh wow, these remind me of something that I always wanted but never knew I wanted.
Totally yum and decidant.Â
Micheal, if you are reading this, they didn’t happen…. okay? This part is a figment of your imagination!
Carol also put in little packets of tea, not sure if you can see them in that photo, they are to the top right of the candies, and also included little cards from the places she got a lot of the items.
Carol, you have put so much time, effort, money, I’m sure a few tears when parting with some of the yarn, into this treat parcel. You are a wonderful treater, you seem to have got me totally, even more that I knw myself I think!!
thank you Sooooooo much!
