my mailman doesn't knock
i had a sneaking suspicion that i had a package today. and although i was home all day, the doorbell never rang. shortly after 1 o'clock i peaked out my door and there it was!
my candy swap!
lynne completely spoiled me and sent SO many goodies for the candy swap. i am a regular reader of her blog so it was kinda fun that she got me as her swap partner. and i should mention the packaging, oh the packaging was beautiful! it so totally made my day.
it was oh so pink and there was the cutest little pink chick (funny, it actually looks like my chick stitch markers!!). every treat was wrapped up in cute paper or neat bags. i can't say enough, she did so much!
the candy you say? check it out!
she stuck to the regional theme (buffalo and WNY) and that was perfect because i am all the way across the country from her. i love trying new treats and boy did i get a lot to try. i'll admit i am on a bit of a sugar rush now. it is all so yummy. i thought i would share the most unique treat she sent...
sponge candy. it just melts in your mouth. i absolutely love it and she sent me such a big box, i won't run out anytime soon! thanks so much lynne.
and i found out that my swap partner received her package from me a-ok. sibille is all the way over in germany and i was worried about the candy arriving ok. apparently it did and she was getting set to try some of the treats in the last email i received from her. living in seattle, we have a lot of yummy regional treats so i sent her a sampling. it included chocolates by frans, seattle chocolate and bakers (a chocolate factory/restauarant i worked at in highschool!). i also send her aplets and cotlets which is probably the most famous candy that comes out of washington. i hope she enjoys. the swap was a lot of fun and i look forward to the next one!
lastly, i got my tush in gear and got my website design sent out to my friend who is building the good to be girl shop. he is kind enough to do it for free so i am not pressuring him to get it done quickly. but i'll keep you posted as i am getting a lot of emails about it. i need to get working on inventory again because just by word of mouth i sold a bunch that i had made!

I LOVE Aplets and Cotlets! have since I was a kid.
Hmm, I might have to keep an eye peeled for that sponge candy!!
you know, my mother always said, if you can't do it right, don't do it at all! I knew you would appreciate a special treatment! I'm glad you loved your box.

Oh my goodness! Lynne gifted me for SP6 so I know how incredibly sweet and thoughtful she is. What a selection! You'll have to report back to us ooglers on those specialty treats. Maybe they're available online . . .
All that candy looks delicious! Makes me want to go to my local chocolate shop and purchase some treats for myself. Enjoy!
mmm, makes my mouth water! i've never heard of sponge candy before, but they look yummy!
I love melt in your mouth candy! So what's the flavor of the spongy stuff inside?
Hello from Austria! Wow - a day sure can't go wrong when it starts with such a parcel - such yummy items in there, do enjoy all of them!
We had a postman once that would sneak up to our door set down the package and leave, without knocking or anything. One time I watched him through a little window by our door, he snuck up to the door (nearly tiptoeing), got about halfway there and then stepped on the (very large) loose brick on our porch making a very loud *CLANK*. The poor dude completely panicked, jumped forward, dropped the package on the doorstep, and ran. LOL!
Oooh yum, Applets and Cotlets was always my grandma's favorite candy.
