Nerd Wars Team Pineapple Swap

The package arrived from my swap partner... all the way from Alaska!  It contained lots of goodies!!

The first picture shows the entire contents of the box.

There was a box of assorted flavors of white tea. I've never tasted white tea before, and am looking forward to trying it! The Sassy Bear spiced black tea smells like heaven! When I opened the box, that wonderful smell scented the whole room. :-) And there's also a honey stirrer to sweeten the brew. When I want a change, I can make some cocoa. And the little chocolate candies taste like chocolate covered cherries with a crunchy shell -- yummy!!

There was a book -- Shades of Earl Grey -- that is exactly the type of mystery novel that I like to read! The soft, soft green scarf will be greatly appreciated this winter (did I say it is really soft?). The pattern for a wall hanging not only evokes images of what I imagine Alaska to look like, but it also will challenge me to learn a new quilting technique (applique). Fun!

Finally, these lovely knitted mitts completed the package. Both the color and the fit are absolutely perfect! The eyelet pattern and gathers on the side make them look very elegant! The color is actually more green than the picture shows.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, JBartRedHawk!! This package was definitely worth waiting for!
