Thank You For The Chocolates!
Last week was a good week for the chocolate lovers in me and my husband. Sasha brought us back Lindt from his training in Germany and Olga brought us back the Empire State chocolates. Thank you to them both! The Lindts were eaten (mostly by Andreas) while I've been saving the others because the wrappers are so pretty.

Martisor
In Moldova and other parts of southestern Europe, March first is the first day of spring. People celebrate by pinning red and white decorations on their clothes. Sone of the above martisors were given to me; others were bought at the embassy. All are handmade. I think they're pretty. The tradition is to wear them until March 31st, then pin them to a budding branch. If you wish as you do it, the wish is supposed to come true.

Birthday Jewelry
I had some ladybug earrings that I really liked. One fell out of my ear and the back was broken off. So I told Andreas he needed to get me a new pair. Not only did he do that, he got me a great ladybug bracelet and a necklace that's a bee! Yay, they're beautiful and I've been wearing all of them a lot!

BirthdayFloss!
Aren't I lucky? I received all this beautiful floss from the group at the Stitch Specialists on Yahoo. They're gorgeous and so different! I'll be using them soon. Thank you so much, ladies!

Food!
When the ladies came over, Adriana brought these beautiful pastries. We didn't have time to break them out and eat them then, but the bread made wonderful breakfast for a couple of mornings, and the little dulce de leche cookies are so cute! Thanks Adriana.

Thank You Adriana and Sussy
Since I'm leaving soon, Adriana and Sussy made some things as farewell gifts. Sussy made the lovely guest towel, and Adriana made the beautiful cushion. I'll treasure them both. Thank you!

Lace from Sussy
Isn't this lace pretty? Sussy gave it to me week before last when she came over for a temari lesson. It'll have to get packed away for now, since everything's getting packed up, but I'll be using it once I get to Moldova. Thank you again, Sussy!

Ribbons!
Betsy found a beautiful bag of remnant ribbons at Hancocks. I'm the grateful recipient of the bounty! Now I get to add them onto my things. I'm already plotting uses.

The heart's finished and is ready to mail off to its final destination. The pattern is from Gazzette 94. They have a lot of neat little things!
