Very very nice Deanna! We can tell you researched our Diane.

Diane, I had a little tear reading your memories. I have the same ones! Enjoy those perfect towels and use them!

What a thoughtful swap package.

Those pictures are crystal clear - love the towels.

What a very special swap gift, Deanna! Those towels are so clever and colorful.

We know Diane will put those seasonings to good use.

You've certainly had a great Valentine's Day Diane. The seasoning blends couldn't be more perfect for a great cook who has to meet diet needs. And how nice that the towels brought back so many family memories.

Deana, you certainly touched her heart with your choices.

How perfectly suited to Diane's personna, Deana for a first time swapper you hit a home run!

Oh wow! The vintage towels are too much! I love them! Great packages! Enjoy!!

What a wonderful package. I love the Days of the Week towels, those are so cute.

Deana, did you make the dishcloths? They look like some I have made, knitted, 100% cotton? Very pretty. I like the hand scrub included with these.

You did a great job researching Diane. More memories are made. . . .

What a wonderful, wonderful package. Couldn't be more perfect for Diane. I bet that box smelled wonderful when it was opened. And how neat that the tea towels being back such fond memories. I'd say that Deanna sure put together the perfect swap box. Enjoy it all Diane.

Ann

I'm glad that Diane appreciated the swap gift. I just tried to think of what I would like to receive. I did make the dishcloths. I've found that I can whip them out pretty fast while I'm reading the posts at the Forum. I like to try to do multi-tasking! If anybody else wants some, just let me know.

Diane took lovely pictures. I think they look better than the actual package! And I'm glad the spices arrived promptly. They were sent direct from the store, and the nutmeg & cinnamon fillers are their classy touch, not
mine...wish I could take the credit.

Beautiful package, Deanna! And hand-made dishcloths, too! Those towels certainly do conjure up memories, don't they?

Enjoy, Diane!

Linda

CLAP CLAP..well done Deanna and Diane you are lucky!

Deanna I can't imagine anything more perfect for Diane. I just know she was truly touched. How special to know you will always have a special place in Diane's heart as well as her kitchen.

The whole package was just lovely. Deana, I too loved the dish towels. You are a multitalented lady! Diane you are very lucky.

Deanna, you did very, very well indeed. Those dishtowels are adorable, I love the girl and her puppy. Like Diane, they remind me of embroidering with Grandma when I was small, although I did pillowcases and all of Dad's handkerchiefs. LOL

What a great package, and the salt free seasonings are perfect. I can smell the cinnamon from here.

Annie

That sounds so thoughtful and so typical of this group (that is why I am addicted). Enjoy.

Janet

Hand made dishcloths are too much! And the perfect accompianment to the adorable towels. Love those vintage linens. I have Little Lulu applicated towels made by a dear family friend. (I loved Lulu when very young.) I used to use them but now only get out for special occasions

another perfectly matched mini-swap package...Deanna, what a great job you did picking things out for Diane!

I loved your description Diane...have fun with your goodies.

Stacy

"Little Lulu, I love you-lu, just the same!"
I also was fond of Lotta. Remember, the "large" girl? Loved to see all the stuff she could eat.

The salt free spices are great for you and Doc, and Penzey's to boot! I can tell from your post that the towels are a very special gift. Great swap box Deanna!!

David

What a great package with the homemade touches.

The vintage tea towels, where those handmade, too? Where did you find them or the pattern? They are just adorable!
Enjoy!

Karen

Karen--eBay, God love 'em. I don't have time to do embroidery!!

Diane I would have cried at the tea towels too!
I even loved my days of the week undies when I was little:)

When I had my first DD..she got some too..:)

Those are priceless! I think i would display them:)

Diane, thats the second time you got a swap virgin. (remember me?). I love when something unexpected strikes a chord. Aren't we a psychic group?

Deanna, That is a very special package you put together for Diane. I can see why she had tears.

I'll bet you're enjoying everything Diane.

Tracey

Aren't those towels just adorable? And they even have a little doggy on them too. Just precious!

Barb

How did I miss this? Fantastic package - those towels are wonderful.

Diane, I just realized that I missed reading about the great package you received. I love the seasoning blends, and they will come in handy for the great meals you make according to Doc's dietary needs. I know you will enjoy the towels that brought back many family memories. Deanna, your choices were perfect for Diane.
