Ooooh, what do we have here?!?!
It's my beautifully wrapped and thoughtfully handmade goodie package, courtesy of Sian from Spin a Song of Sixpence.
For no particular reason, Sian decided to do a giveaway on her blog, and lucky me, I was the WINNER!!
Wonder what's inside?!
From the paper in which it was wrapped to the handmade tag, everything was presented perfectly.
You couldn't tell how eager I was to open the packages because of the fact that I took way to many photos, that is, before the suspense actually got the best of me. But I wanted to pay as much attention to opening it, as Sian did to wrap it up.
Uh-Oh.......what's in there?
The culprit! It was melted.....but quick thinking prompted me to put it in the fridge to solidify again. Later that evening, I shared the bar with Cody. I don't know why I bothered to put it in the fridge, because it just melted in our mouths anyways! It was sooooo yummy!
Although the above photo is of everything she sent in the packages, I received one with nothing but handmade goods, while the other donned items picked up locally - I presume. Upon first sight of the packages, I would not have guessed that they were packing so many goodies. I know they weren't, but I felt like every item was hand-picked especially for me! I loved each and every one of them.
Even if I didn't quite know what they were........although, I suspect that the 'whirligig' (I named it that) is to clasp the electric blue wolly/scarf - handmade by Sian - together. Am I right?
But my favorite was.......
I can't begin to tell you how delighted I was to find this goodie package in my box after a long day at work on Friday. Sian, thank you so very much for taking the time, and making the effort to brighten my day. It was a wonderful package with some truly unique items that I will cherish. THANK YOU!

Love Spoon......
The custom of giving a love spoon is unique to Wales and originated in th 17th Century, when lovers would offer intricately carved spoons, bearing symbols of their feelings and hopes, to their partners.
Love Spoons.....
Today are given as gestures of friendship, engagement, wedding, and anniversary gift, and also make excellent reminders of a visit to Wales.

Recently, Sian started her very own Etsy store, an extension of her obsession, oops, I mean passion of all things having to do with yarn & spinning. Please have a looksy to see if she may have anything of interest to you.
