make my scoop vanilla

okay.......some of you out there in secret pal land may think you have the best spoiler ever....but you don't cuz i have her!!!!!

WOW!!!!! i'm the luckiest girl alive. i hate to gush, but i must. i got my final package today from my SP7. so amazing (wish i had pictures).

two yummy skeins of Colinette Prism in Mushroom colorway, just dreamy. it's made in Wales you know. the sweetest skein of Be Sweet Yarn from South Africa. every skein sold helps fund the schools they are building there! go check out the site www.besweetproducts.com   i got the skein called Magic Ball, in a Shifting Sands colorway. guess what, they have a scarf pattern idea on the site just for this ball of yarn, i am going to wind it right after this post and start on that scarf tonight! so sweet! a very cute Mac & Me Pattern for a Vest. i think i would like to put this on my summer to-do list for a brand new "going back to school" vest for next fall. the pattern calls for Blue Sky Alpaca yarn. Love that!!

there's still more!!!.......4 beautifully packaged, antique, glass, vanilla colored buttons. from a London shop that i bet is "cute as a button" called The Button Queen. if i made the sweater vest in a rich chocolate yarn these would look great with that!!!      and some spectrum colored vanilla incense and white chocolate malted milkballs.  and a lovely note.

right away all i could think of was a yummy, vanilla ice cream cone. the theme of these yarns, perfectly together!! i just love everything. i have been SO SPOILED and have enjoyed every moment. THANK YOU!    BUT............

there's something missing. who are you? you signed your note again "secret pal".  where does your blog live? i want to come visit it!!  i do have your home address from the label on the package. it's a long ways but i guess i could hop a plane and show up at your door. i don't know much about London. the closest i've come to London is the snow globe that sits on my desk at school that one of my student's brought me a few years ago. hope to hear from you soon!!!!  now i'm off to play with my new yarn, and again, thanks is just not enough  :)
