Oh Askye, I'm so glad it arrived on time. I just mailed it on Thursday, how awesome is the Post Office?
I was just coming in to say that I received a super cute card from my secret santa, via msbelle. (Thank you both) And, that I'm truly feeble at the 'secret' portion of the program.
I'm all HERE IS SOME STUFF I HOPE YOU LIKE! No mystery at all.
I felt bad that I could not do my customary "I am the BOW QUEEN" wrapping adornments. I figured they'd get smooshed in transit and just be sad-looking on arrival.
Still, I hope you enjoy the giftees and have a lovely, fun-filled holiday.
I LOVE THIS WHOLE THING!!
mabelle, I love that you make this whole thing possible for us. Thank you!
I have a box packed for my secret santee. Should I put it in the mail tomorrow or wait until the end of the week.
I have presents!
I got a lovely calendar, filled with art deco posters of New York City. And yesterday I received a selection of really nice black teas. I’m drinking the pu-erh right now, and it’s delicious!
THANK YOU, SAILAWEIGH!
I'm glad you're enjoying the tea, Tom. I've ordered Adagio teas before and been very pleased with them.
And you're darn lucky you got that calendar; I was tempted to keep it for myself. I have a thing for both art deco and art nouveau. I had a hard time finding an envelope/box that it would fit into; if my roommate hadn't cut down a different box to fit, I was willing to bite the bullet and keep it for myself. :)
I'm envying your Art Deco calendar. I had one a few years ago, but have not found one since. I'm nuts about it and would cheerfully live in an Art Deco world if I could!
I have not gotten any packages yet but I did get a lovely, teasing card from my Secret Santa, so my hopes are up!
I have most of the shopping done and now must commence with the packaging of my gift to send post haste!
I'm nuts about it and would cheerfully live in an Art Deco world if I could!
Me too!
The closest I've gotten is going to movies at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, which is pretty much like visiting Art Deco Emerald City. (That's where Matilda is going to see the Nutcracker next week.)
Though picture books of the 1939 Treasure island Exposition are also Art Deco Fantasyland.
David, have you even done the tour at The Paramount Theater. You get to see so much more...it is gorgeous. And my kids grew up with The Nutcracker there.
Not sure if I should do this here or on Elfster... but if my Secret Santa package will arrive between 12/21 and 12/28, it should go to my parents' address in Raleigh, NC. Hmm, will xpost on Elfster as well.
