Meet My Secret Pals

I got my last package from my secret pal yesterday. Including all the great stuff I got, she also revealed her identity. Her name is Doris, and she's an American living in Singapore for a couple of years with her husband and two adorable children. I've spent all morning reading their blog Just Regular Folks- her whole family (husband, brother, and parents) contributes to it, so it's like getting five blogs in one. It's also a great way for them to keep in touch, since they are so far away from each other.

Doris gave me two beautiful spoons- they're perfect for my glass tea cups I got in Tangier (a little mixing of cultures ;) I can use them, right, Doris? They are so beautiful I wouldn't be surprised if they are supposed to be just decorative. I also got a DVD of the best of Monty Python's Flying Circus, which Juan and I can't wait to watch. I looove Monty Python :) She also included "Wanderlust:" a pack of 30 postcards for "insatiable travelers." How did you know I like to travel, Doris? haha.. And as if that wasn't enough, I also got a skein of Rowan kidsilk haze in a GORGEOUS fushia color, and a handmade red silk purse from Tabitha-Cambodia. At least, I think it's a purse. It has an unusual design of one handle being long than the other, so I'm not sure if has a more specialized use?

I also wanted to introduce my secret pal recipient, Alejandra. She lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her blog, Lanas y Tramas, is in Spanish, and she seems to have a new project done at least once a week. So, check out her blog, too.
