Secret Pal Goodies

I received a package from my Secret Pal yesterday, and I’m so excited about it! She sent me so much stuff, and this is just the first package she says she’s sending! :-0
First of all, we have some gorgeous yarny goodness:

Two skeins of yarn spun from the loom waste from sari weaving. I haven’t a clue what to do with it, other than fondle it and be amazed by the beauty. Then there are three balls of Fantasia Ski Yarns Calliope. There’s 105m per ball, so I’ve got enough to do… something. Any suggestions?
Then, we have the goodies:

Black coffee-flavored candies, Cafe Latte Kit Kat, a Nestle Aero bar, “Coffee Sugar”, a Russell Stover Valentine’s Day box, and a couple candles - Sage Citrus and Apple. I guess I forgot to mention that I boycott Nestle, but it’s all good. I’m not so uptight that I can’t eat something of theirs that someone else has paid for. I’m a militant breastfeeder, but I’m also a chocolate lover. :-/
Notice the Japanese characters on the yarn and candies. Hmm… So I’m going to guess that my Secret Pal is on Okinawa from that and her hints. Let me know if I’m right, Whirl
I’m hoping to have some FO’s to post later, we’ll see if the kids cooperate and go to bed early.

You are right about my location =D
Sorry about the Nestle thing, I’ll be more selective with my next box =) As far as the sari silk goes? I made a very long & skinny scarf with it. It’s very bohemian chic. I’m so glad you liked the box =) My next boxes will be coming from somewhere else because I’m going home to visit my family for 6 weeks (YAY!!).
Take care. hugs!
