I got my package-slip late last night as I was coming back from a bonfire and grill-party in the Jerusalem Forest. I hoped it was my SOAB package, and was so excited that as soon as I woke up this morning, I ran to the post office to pick up my box!
I knew I was in for something good when I noticed the little bunnies drawn on the box:
But then - a warning!
What was hiding for me underneath the grass?
Oooooh!
First, a sweet note from my spoiler (on a lovely postcard featuring a scarf-clad Brandenburg Gate) and lots of wonderful cappuccino, mocha and latte drinks. (I paused here and fixed myself a coffee.)
I dug deeper into the rabbit-hole, and found:
Lots and lots of chocolate bunnies! I was so happy to get these - living in Israel is wonderful, but there is a real lack of chocolate bunnies come spring. And these are not just ANY chocolate bunnies - there is an After Eight mint bunny (After Eights are my FAVORITE), a bunny filled with Smarties, two Milka bunnies, lots and lots of little Milka chocolate bunnies - and of course a Lindt Goldhase - but this one is in WHITE chocolate!
But that's not all...
Sunny63 owns a yarn store, and gave me some beautiful and useful notions, including lovely no-snag stitch markers, sweet scarf- and hat-shaped needle tip protectors, a "made with love" fabric tag, a knitting pattern for "Briochette," and a gorgeous and incredibly well-made project bag.
Bonus: two bunny buttons, one brown, one white!
Then came the yarn:
!!!
Wollmeise yarn!
In a gorgeous color: "Neptun." I am amazed and so very excited to knit with this yarn.
But that's not all, folks:
She sent me a new friend! He is made from super-soft fuzzy yarn, and has completely removable overalls made with the cutest little buttons... and his carrot comes out of his pocket, when he needs to have a little snack!
I am so very happy that I participated in this swap, and that I got the best Swap Partnerin ever -
Vielen herzlichen Dank, Heike!
