Some lovely fat quarters (we share a love of quilting) in very nice taupey shades – very Japanese. I like. A lovely tea spoon (I htink) that you can use to scoop out your tea bag. Its going on my dresser, not  in my mug!

One response to “The Maine attraction….”

  1. I am so glad you liked everything in the package. I couldn’t believe when I saw the yarn you sent me and knew that the one that I had placed in your box was almost exactly the same. The jam, tea, and lip balm were all made close to my home. I love to share a little of where I live with others. I had so much fun with this swap and will be blogging about the goodies you sent me very soon!!!
