I would take note of the books that you mention on the letter and use them as an idea for future readings! I'll write you back telling you about some of my readings (I'll try to read some of the book you listed as your top 5 from 2015, so I can tell you what I think about) Big hugs from Chile! Ps. thanks for the tea (:

Comment: Thank you for the lovely intro, I remember rating you for this after receiving your email but I came to archive some swaps and saw this box empty :O I don't know what ate the rating but here it is again :D I once knit yself a scarf but my knittting is so stiff I could just turn the scarf upside down and it'd stick right towards the sky :D The shawl is gorgeous! And I love your bakings, looks so yummy :) I'd love to write with you but I'm afraid I'm quite forgetful with emails so if you have instagram etc I'd love to sty in touch there? My ID is this one so feel free to take a look around my "feed" :)

Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely letter and all of the extras! I will write back soon!

Comment: Thank you so much for your tempting and beautiful package :)! I´m so thrilled to see what book you´ve chosen for me, but I will be nice and wait for a couple of days ;)! Merry Christmas to you too and I will be back when I´ve opened the present! Edited 25.12: Wow, what a great choice :)! I don´t have this book and I´m just now reading the biography of Tolkien, so this book is like the icing on the cake! Thanks once again and Merry Christmas!

Comment: Well, bad news.. I received your envelope today in a clear USPS envelope saying it had been damaged. One side was torn off and the item you worked so hard on was missing!! :-( You sent a lovely letter, though, and described the item... I know you really put a lot of thought and effort into it and that was so sweet I'm still giving you the heart... You earned it!! (Stupid post office) We can try another swap after Christmas if you like!

Comment: I really loved reading your letter and your christmas ornament, thanks a lot for this great swap!!

Comment: Um, let's see: octopus paper; orange fountain pen; and the correct plural form of octo's... I am in swap heaven. I will write back and we shall be the best of friends. : )

Comment: Absolutely fabulous!! These are my new favourite thing to make - they knit up so fast! I couldn't choose so I'll be sending you my very first cosy...just as soon as I fill it with tea. Thank you so much for introducing me to these :)

Comment: Thank you so much! The tea is lovely and of course so is your letter and the other goodies :)

Comment: thank you for my gifts, xx

Comment: Oh Rachel, thanks for the lovely parcel! I have read your letter and your day is very different to mine although we live in the same country!! The Carol service in the cathedral sounds wonderful! I always watch the Queen' s speech! I think it' s very traditional!! 🎄 Great card too, looks like my best friend' s cat!! I haven' t opened the presents... I think they might find their way under the tree when it' s up!! 🎅 Thank you for a lovely swap xxx

Comment: Thank you for the teas! I was going to update my profile to reflect my taste in teas, but I like trying different thing so why limit myself? So far I've only tried herbal tea you sent me. I was a little apprehensive about it, but it's so light and delicate. No honey was needed. I can't wait to try the other two. The hearts in the one tea is so cute. Those little gimmicks are so fun! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate the tea bag you mentions. No worries though! I'll update you on the other teas when I get to drinking them.

Comment: This was such a delightful assortment of things. I appreciate that you obviously took a look at my profile :)

Comment: A very comprehensive list thank you - I would love to know your personal thoughts on each book & if you really enjoyed it.

Comment: Very interesting, it seems there is so much more to Nombeko than just being a cleaning lady... where was she going with all those diamonds?

Comment: Thank you! I will try the tea soon! =)

Comment: Thanks so much for this swap! My brother is also a huge Star Wars fan, but he has his doubts about the new movie, haha! I love my little fish bookmark, thank you! :)

Comment: Thank you so much for the book and tea! And the gorgeous hand knit lace bookmark! I also knit and I am forever giving it away so it was lovely to get a knitted thing that is just for me!

Comment: Thank you for the list of Books

Comment: Rachel, Thank you so much for this swap. I am so happy to be your first swap!!! I remember my very first swap and it was so nerve wracking waiting to see if my partner liked it. You did amazing! I love homemade cards because I don't have that talent and am always so happy to get one. Also, two ornaments!! You totally rock. I'm very impressed with the felted tree and it is going on our woodland tree this year. The super cute Santa will go on our "main" tree. (We have three) Thank you so much!
