I just received the coolest yarn bowl evar from starcakes57!

Unfortunately a few of the fireman fell off during their travelling, but they are fixable.

Many thanks starcakes

That is the most awesome bowl I've ever seen.

I received my herb package from Burgz this afternoon!

Sorry about the crappy photos.  I had to use my computer because the kids were playing with the camera and disconnected and hid the USB cable that was attached to it.  I'm going away on holidays tomorrow and still wanted to post what I got.



Lots of herbs and all but the Linden were hand-grown, -picked, and -dried!  They smell fantastic!  Included in the bunch is achillea, chamomile, calendula, lemon balm, linden, malva, silver thyme, and verbena.  There are also some cranberry and red pepper seeds!

Do I just plant the cranberry seeds?  I'm especially intrigued by those and will have to do some research.



...and tea!  Tazo's Berryblossom White, Traditional Medicinal's Nighty Night, PC's Feeling Soothed, and Four O'Clock's Energy and Chocolate Spice.  There are lots of organic and fair trade ingredients.  I've never tried any Four O'Clock products but they seem right up my alley and I think I may have to try the chocolate spice within the next couple of minutes.

Thank you so much for the awesome gift Burgz!

I'm glad you liked everything! I really had fun growing, picking and drying them... (this spring, we sneaked onto a neighbour's lawn after sundown to steal tons of linden blossoms ) I'm not sure about the cranberry seeds, this is my first year harvesting them.

I always like to try new teas because sometimes you're not sure if you'll like them so you don't buy it because of that, or sometimes there's kinds we never even would have thought of trying. I'll reply to your pm a little later

I'm drinking the cocoa tea (with some goat milk in it) right now and it's really good!  I think I'm going to add a bit of cayenne pepper to the next one for a bit of spice.  Thanks again!

This is the cute little water monster that lukenlarry put in her thank you card to me.



These are the 2 rings I sent her. The rose one is made out of a vintage button. The bottom is made from a vintage earring.
