A wonderful parcel from Rachel arrived on my doorstep over the weekend! Not only did she sew this darling coffee-themed project bag for me, she filled it with thoughtful goodies.Two new-to-me organic coffees, yummy Ghirardelli chocolates, cute M&M themed stationary and tin, travel hand lotions (perfect for my knitting bag), little blue stitch markers...
And a skein of my absolute favorite yarn -- Malabrigo in a gorgeous shade of blue. Plus a skein of tweedy red Takhi tweed that's destined to become one of Ysolda's Icing Swirl Hats.

Funny thing... Rachel used to live just a few blocks from where I live now (in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago). Small world! Rachel, your package is winging its way toward you in NY.
