Memorandum Monday - You've Got {HAPPY} Mail!

Joining in with Sian and all my fellow Memorandum Monday-ers.  What "new" thing did I do last weekend?  Well, I had a very special surprise when this showed up in my mail:

Sian has knitted me the prettiest pair of striped socks! The foot part fits perfectly and the calf part is nice and slouchy loose - they may just become my new favorite sleeping socks! (yes, I am one of those people who wears socks to bed until the weather turns to sleeping-with-the-windows-open warm).  The socks were so prettily wrapped up in their little cuff, I almost didn't want to open them. But actually wearing them takes precedence and that cute little paper cuff with the washing instructions will likely find a home in my Simple Album as a remembrance of some very special happy mail.  THANK YOU so much Sian! I love them!

How absolutely perfect! She is one talented woman, is Sian, and so generous with her time and energy. Aren't those colours glorious ... I love the artful detail of the card and the wraparound paper cuff on the socks. May you have many happy hours in them :).

Gorgeous socks & no surprise considering who made them! What a fun package to receive!

I'm glad you like them! You are the first recipient of that paper cuff, which I found as a free download and wish I had discovered a whole lot sooner.

Have a great week Xheri

The socks are lovely and the addition of the paper cuff is perfect. I'm another lucky recipient of a pair of Sian socks and they are so comfy to wear. Enjoy.

Very nice socks & I do like the accompanying card Sian made for you. I also wear bed socks, which for me, must be white, soft cotton. Hope your week is going well. Oh yes, well done on the FIT & OLW updates, your pages always rock it.
