I know it is Hislady!! Hislady, you ROCK! My favourite Starbucks coffees ( we can't buy packs of all those different ones over here!!), turkey jerky, which I have never tried! Fruit sweets - how did you know I prefer them to chocolate?? Beautiful earrings, just the sort I like! A photo book of where you live which is GREAT! Not that  it looks like that now! But I love old photos of people.

And best of all, Hislady knitted scarf and hat set and also an all-in-one scarf and hood.   Wow!!!

Clever, clever Santa!  Kate

I took a photo of everything just to be told that I can't do it from my ipad!! Bummer!

Thank you Kate! I tried to come up with things you could use, figured your weather was pretty similar to mine, so nice warm scarves. The foods are things my state is known for, the heart earrings (not too big) is cause we all love you! And finally the book, I know you like to travel so figured you might like to do a little armchair travel to my little town and a trip down thru history. I'm so glad you enjoyed it even if I did forget the most important part of the address! Kudos to the Brit postal service for tracking you down!

 Everything is great! Wore the scarf last night, drinking a coffee. I write this! I love the way the thinner scarf is stretchy! Very clever!

The postal service wre great! I can see how a local, regular postman might have  made the effort but this was Parcelforce. They are part of our national postal service but not based locally but in centralised depots. So I am veryimpressed that, at the busiest time of year, they tracked me down! The address you put did narrow the area ( by post code) down to about 80 houses, so not as bad as it might have been! But even so! They made the effort instad of just  returning to sender!
