Lovely Swap Gifts From Caterina


Caterina and I decided on a swap for her beautiful tea box. It arrived in today's mail.

I am astonished by her incredible patience, She has filled the box with miniscule tea bags. All of them so well made they fit into the box perfectly! One even has real tea in it. I love the tiny tag on the string. :-)

She generously added these other gorgeous boxes of cappuccino, rosini and spaghetti. I cannot believe the strands of spaghetti. It is the perfect color and so fine. The open box of rosini also has pasta in it.

These are all such wonderful pieces and I am delighted to have them in my collection.

Thank you so very much Caterina! I am thrilled. http://leminisdicockerina.blogspot.com/

    Do you like pasta?
    Now you have a little bit of Italy in the pantry, you need just the tomato sauce :-)
    Caterina is a treasure!
    I embrace you with affection, thanks for the birthday wishes :-)
    Mini hugs, Flora

    Yes, I love pasta! I don't get to have it very often though. Too many carbs.
