Christmas Care Package
Jan 4th 2009sarahChocolate & Food & Life
It was with a lot of pleasure I received a care package from the States earlier this week. In it was all sorts of things, such as caribou and venison jerky, some photographs of my parents’ Christmas decoration, and packages of hickory nuts and black walnuts – these of which I will highlight later this week. Nearly best of all, though, were two items my parents mailed along – turtles and tablemats.
My mother quilted this beautiful tablemat for my living room tables. There were two of them in the package, and now I’m just waiting patiently for one for my coffee table. And a runner for my dining room table. No pressure, mom. None at all. 
You can also see the lovely, gorgeous, yummy box of turtles that was sent along. The best part about these is the fact that Paul doesn’t like nuts in his chocolate, so this box of wonderful chocolate, pecans and caramel goodies is ALL MINE! I’m wondering how long I can make a pound of chocolates last…
