and what was inside those tantalizing packages? Here is the money shot!

She has been reading my blog she added so many lovely things just for me! A cute knitted headband in Gryffindor colors that made my husband roll his eyes and I love making my husband roll his eyes! I had him take a picture of me wearing it but I decided that I looked too gross so I haven't put it up maybe later after I put on makeup on or something. Organic coffee now how perfect is that, mmmm coffee!! Lipgloss because well I just can't enough of it! A tape measure, my house elf officially broke mine not even 2 weeks ago and while I was taking this picture he tried to steel it! It's covered in fabric and ric rack did you do that yourself Perpetua? Some crazy beautiful and smooshy yarn from Crazy for Dyeing in Gryffindor colors! Really lovely I can't wait. An amazing pattern I've had in my Ravelry queue for a while called La Digitessa and boy oh boy I can't wait I think it will look really lovely with the gryff yarn! Some knitting essentials, a teeny tiny crochet hook for dropped stitches, I imagine I will need that with the la digitessa pattern with all those cables! Yay! A 42 inch Harmony wood size 1.5 circular needle! yay! I love those harmony needles and I didn't have one in that size. My favorite size! I think I'm wearing the coating off my other ones... so sad. And now close ups of my personal favorites knitting BLING!

Row counting bracelet and stitch markers in yummy Gryffy colors! I can't express how much I absolutely love row counter bracelets I have one and I've been itching to buy another. I've actually been looking at the ones from Crimson Orchid and that is where she bought mine. It's yummy and I'm already using it! And I love stitch markers and there ones are from Crazy for Dyeing and match the Gryffindor yarn! How cool is that.
The cutest part of the package is Lightning my new owl!

And the most practical of the entire package is the Chocolate Emergency kit in case o Dementor attacks and for some reason there have been a lot of Dementor attacks lately!

There have actually been so many Dementor attacks that I may need to restock my emergency kit soon. ;)
One thing that did not make the pictures except in it's wrapped condition was the bag of Muggle Cheetoes she sent me. They are my favorite! But they are also my house elf's favorite and every time I tried to take a picture he was grabbing at them so he was happily munching away on them as I finished up my photography. But he shared with me when I was done. ;)
Thank you Perpetua I love everything!
Now off the wrestle the house elf into the car for a trip into Hogsmead. Thank you again Perpetua your a really nice Slytherin!

What a wonderful package! Love the row counter bracelet--I've not seen those before!

I'm so happy you like everything! Maybe I should have sent two bags of Cheetos!

row counting bracelets are awsome you should treat yourself to one there are lots to pick from on etsy.com

Perpetua I don't think you could have fit one more thing in that box! And don't worry my house elf is tiny and doesn't eat too much I got my fair share. ;) You know the funny part of those cheetoes is that the bag is almost Gryffindor colored don't you think?

I never thought of the Cheetos being Gryffindor colored. I tried to find a bigger box, but I had that size and really huge:)
