You’re welcome! I took a poll on Twitter and Facebook as to what Tastykakes to send, and it was a tie between Butterscotch Krimpets and Peanut Butter Kandykakes (with virtually no votes for Jelly Krimpets or Crumb Coffee Cake, which are my go-to choices) – so I sent both.
And, yeah, you’d probably be doing your wife a favor not to give her any – “the first one’s free, little girl” and all that.
@Atomic Mama: it’s here!!! A sturdy & shiny black mug celebrating the Belfast Co-op. The mints are tasty! Now to Google the BC-O and learn about it. Thanks!
I’ve been out of town, so it was a wonderful surprise to come home to an internationally shipped package.
Jools sent a FABULOUS David’s tea mug and multiple samples of tea, as well as tasty goodies. I love the mug- it comes with its own little immersion basket and a lid, and I’m having a great time using it. I’ve been working my way through the jasmine tea, which is deceptively delicious once you get past the strong jasmine smell (it took some convincing, but I finally got the boyfriend to try it, and he was shocked that something that smelled so flowery could taste so good!!).
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!!
Also, the boyfriend was BLOWN AWAY at what an awesome idea this was. I think he was more excited than all of us put together!! LOL.
I keep hoping that mine will show up at my recipient’s house, but I have heard that US-Canada is slower than Canada-US. Is that true? If so, I’m accepting that it’s not yet 3 weeks since I shipped mine out and still hoping it will get there in one piece.
Got here today, thanks! It is a handsome Umpqua Community College mug – since I cover higher ed for a local newspaper, am a big fan of community colleges, and am utterly delighted by the name “Umpqua,” I will definitely add this to the mug rotation.
Yay! You finally received them. Did the items come separately?
Anyhow, glad you liked the caramels and dug the mug too… couldn’t resist on that one, can’t wait to see pics!
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
Dude, you have no idea how much she loves that thing. I just got back from a business trip, and showing me the “mug with feet” happened before I even got a “welcome-home” kiss!
So last night I got home from a dinner with friends and ended up doing a happy dance in front of my mailbox, I had received a package. I had pretty much given up on it but YEAH Ellen Cherry sent me a beautiful mug with some Kentucky sweets that I can’t wait to try
Thank you very very much Ellen Cherry for the gift and the story which I really appreciated.
