Gifts in the Mail

I love receiving surprise packages in the mail! Even when I'm expecting them. I'm not hard to please. Honest. These past few months have been the best of them! I hope it's just warming up before the holidays.

I received this package a few months ago from my friend Kay. The little packet at the top is a giant tea bag for your bath! Since it's getting colder, I think I'll be using it very soon. Who wouldn't want to soak in a giant cup of tea? She also sent me some mini-skeins of some wool. It's not much to make a whole project out of, but will definitely be welcome to add some accent to another project or a mini-project. And the jelly lens can be used for small digital cameras or even a camera phone. I'm thinking of attaching it to my LCA and seeing what happens. I definitely need to play with film more often.

And the following photo is what I just received in the mail earlier this week from my friend Anna. Strangely, there aren't many places in London that sells good affordable zines. Anna to my rescue! She even sent me some expired films she found at work. Expired film is a bit of a risk to work with, but perfect for Lomography. And of course she couldn't resist sending me some yarn! This kettle dyed merino wool by malabrigoyarn is luxuriously soft. I don't have a project in mind yet, but open to suggestions!
