Treasures that came by the postman

I dag har postmannen vært ekstra gavmild – To spennende pakker til meg. Today, the postman was really generous – Two exciting packages for me.

1) Hemmelig Venn, Hobbyboden Juni 2009:

En vidunderlig blå garnskatt er ankommet fra min hemmelige venn, Shygirl, som kommer nordfra og blogger om marihøner (i følge hint). Og for en gave! Merinoull og Mohair, flotte perlemorknapper, silkebånd, en deilig sjokolade og tre aldeles skjønne maskemarkører. Tusen hjertelig takk, Shygirl.

Some wonderful blue yarns arrived from my secret pal somewhere north. And what a gift! 100% Merino and Mohair, beautiful mother-of-pearl buttons, silk ribbons, a delicious chocolate and three absolutely beautiful stitch markers. Thank you very mush, Shygirl

Denne maskemarkøren blir garantert favoritten min – Allerede har han fått tildelt navnet “Freddy”

2) Eve Summer Swap at Ravelry:

Og så kom det en veldig flott pakke fra min kanadiske navnesøster og strikkevennine, Evelyn, i dag. Pakken var full av spennende saker og nyttige dingser for oss håndarbeidsfreaker. Tusen hjertelig takk Evelyn!
