My sister sent my Christmas present and told me to open it straight away. For the past year she has been living in Germany and travelling around Europe. She got me gifties from Sweden and Germany and sent them before she went home December 4th. Look at the goodies!

I love the colours.

My sister wrote: “The wool I bought in Malmø, Sweden. It’s made from sheep on Öland, one of Sweden’s islands. The dye is all-natural vegetable dye: vegan friendly!”

Anyone speak Swedish?

I don’t think mine is listed… Green with tinges of purple.

Can you guess who will be eating these? *cough*BF*cough* Maybe he’ll share with me. Hahha!

“The other item is a Räuchermännchen (pron: roy-ker-men-ken), which is a traditional Christmas decoration in a part of Easter Germany called The Erzgebirge (pron: ayerz-guh-beer-guh), a small mountain range… Räuchermännchen means literally, ‘little smoking men’.”

He rides a SNAIL! How cool is he?

“The horn logo on his saddle bag is the Deutsche Post logo.”

“If you twist the snail’s shell, it will come off the bottom, and on the little stand inside you put an incense cone (I send some of those as well).”

Yea… only 4 people live here. I think the main problem is Christmas shopping… hehe

And look at the Yarn Tree that CW and I made!! Steph hung Candy Canes on it.

When we were in Cambridge, I went to Whittard of Chelsea (my fave tea shop here in England). Last year at Christmas I bought myself a “tea for one” teapot. Here are the goodies I picked up on the weekend.

Mmm Mango Black tea. I love fruity black teas.

Yaay a loose tea clappy-strainer. I’ve wanted one of these for forever!

Gotta pick up some Bailey’s to go in this one!
