This is Kathy's daughter (I think kathyc over here...). I got her mug in the mail today from Farmgirl "Kluckingbear" and it is SO great! I had no idea mom told her to send it to me, so I was doubly surprised to get it in the mail.
I got a beautiful "Norcrest" cup and saucer in a silver and gray pattern. It's beautiful, vintage, and I LOVE it! Love it, Love it, Love it! Also got some wonderful non-chocolate goodies - Bit of Honeys which are hard to find, but some of my favorites, some Madeline's Petite French Cakes, Honey straws, Biscotti, and Altoids. And, a really cute little Tea Towel.
And, in the spirit of complete honesty... My mother made her partner some wonderful dark chocolate and toasted coconut chocolates that I can *not* resist, despite the fact that chocolate causes me extreme migraines and has landed me in the ER several times. Mom watches over me pretty well threatens to beat me when I get weak and want to eat chocolate. I am very good to resist chocolate except her homemade coconut and dark chocolate candy.
So, mom made a nice little batch for her swap partner and tucked them away in her freezer. Well... I found them and thought they were just 'regular' candy and free to eat. And, I got up in the middle of the night and ate most of them when there were no witness and if I *did* get a migraine I would still get sympathy, care, and could blame it one something else. :D My dear, kind mother mentioned a few days later that dad must have eaten her swap partners candy since most of it was gone. ;) I hope you enjoyed the candy she sent you, 'cause her dark chocolate candy she makes is the thing I miss most since I quit eating chocolate!
Thanks!
