The Best Kind of Mail

Ever since I started blogging, I get the most exciting mail. Here's a package that arrived the other day from Regula in Switzerland:

"Swiss" + "Chocolate". Magical words. :)

Regula, whom I admire tremendously, blogs (in German AND English, every post!) about knitting, crocheting, sewing, teaching, and all kinds of crafty frugality. Last month she held a chocolate giveaway, and I was one of the lucky winners.


A Japonais bar - perfect with a cup of tea from my little Japanese pot.


Swiss chocolate is like silk on the tongue, and the Japonais, with crunchy bits of hazelnut biscuit, was sublime.

Thank you, Regula, for many sweet moments. :)

    1. I couldn't live without it. My nephew sent me SIX tins of Twining's loose English Breakfast Tea for my birthday this year - I think it will last me until my next birthday! :)

  3. Ahh, perfect! I just finished a mint choc (German, dark) with a big mug of tea. That could be a dessert or afternoon snack for me EVERY DAY! The simple things ~~~
