first, the clever riddles, the geographic references, the references to letters, and the western jacklope.. then a number of sly suggestions by a couple of catters.. what a very mysterious SS..

My package arrived yesterday, postmarked Albuquerque!

I managed to discipline myself for about five minutes, and then...
was quite overwhelmed as lovely thing after lovely thing came out! Green chilli pepper jelly (gulp - this will be a new experience!!) Avanyu - the water serpent - strangely, many years ago i did an artwork based on this creature, and it was a lovely feeling to see the little Avanyu badge, and the purple printed linen artwork accompanying it. A number of theories were gallumphing around my head, but the sight and feel of the beautiful (perfectly fitting) handknitted socks have led me to ....

probably a bubbling brook, a jenny wren, or maybe a canine carrier?

I am wandering very happily, "round the house", clutching some very interesting things, and say THANK YOU SANTA!

and i would like to know who you are, so I can thank you properly!!

hugs and happiness
