Got a package from Burnaby, Bc today...tried to hold off, but it was a lousy day and I needed a cheer.....and was I glad I did!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my gifts!

I got a beautiful green pashmina shawl/scarf (green being my favourite colour...), a gorgeous silver beaded bracelet, a package of Green Zatar mix, which is a Lebanese/Middle Eastern spice that I love but do not have, and a really really perfect Lebanese/Middle Eastern cookbook. I love the Middle Eastern theme/vibe to my gifts and and I am just so blown away by how my secret santa got it so right.

I felt so lucky to get a brilliant gift from a stranger across the country and have them do so very well! This is a great idea and I will definitely participate again. What a treat!

A sincere thank to my secret santa. You chose very well; I love my gifts.

I'll figure out the picture part and post that soon....
