Fall In A Box

A box arrived on our doorstep today. This was just the bright spot I needed after the last couple of weeks.

Skedaddleedo, you didn't realize it, but the box arrived just in time for our 7th wedding anniversary. Maybe, just maybe I'll share the goodies with DH.



This was a secret swap and boy, did she do a good job of researching. Stuffed in a box (thank goodness for flat rate) was a couple of Georgia travel guides, a Georgia map, a magnetic shopping list (love those!), Crunch 'n Munch, Butter Rum Nips, vanilla tea, a Georgia apple, and a cinnamon vanilla candle.

And that's not all.

This little box contained


these gorgeous stitch markers she made.


There were witch napkins - love these!


And look at the gorgeous yarn! It's Laines du Nord Korall Fancy - a shrink resistant 100% merino. The colors are truly fall colors. She also sent along the pattern for Diagonal Lace Scarf.


Now, there's a reason the stitch markers are still in the plastic bag. Take a close look at the top picture again. See the little knit items on the Crunch 'n Munch box? Those are little knitted candy corn filled with catnip. Let me tell you, I don't remember much about Georgia from geography class, but I can tell you that they grow some potent catnip down there. I could barely get the box opened and the cats were going crazy. It took a number of tries to even get the photo without a cat head or paw in the shot. I didn't dare take the stitch markers out of the bags for photos.




I think Skedaddleedo did an incredible job - especially considering this was swap on a budget. Many thanks!
