Tea exchange received

Here is the lovely French exchange I received today from Maryse, who lives in the Lorraine region. Maryse sent me a pack of fantastic sweets, these are candies with bergamot flavor, a specialty from the town of Nancy. A real delicacy, it is such a pleasure to discover those! The taste is very unusual. I so love to discover local specialties from aroung the world, so I am just delighted :)
The tradition of this candy goes back to a king who was also king of Sicily, where most of bergamot trees were (are?) found, due to the climate. Ah, what a treat!
Maryse also joined a package of lemon tartelettes, which I am soooo fond of and which I can't find here in Poland. Another big smile for these :)
Also, a DMC kit and a rose and cinnamon tea.
Merci Maryse pour ce gentil échange ! J'adore toutes ces bonnes choses :) J'espère que tu visites mon blog de temps en temps parce que je n'ai pas d'autre moyen de te remercier.

Final givaway for 2008!

Here are some gingermen I created this week... You have time to enter the draw till Sunday late evening Warsaw time, and the winner can choose one of these gingerboys, the one (s)he likes most!

From left to right we have: cross-stitch gingerman, red and gold gingerman and baroque guru gingerman!

So, this givaway winner will be able to choose! The other two will be given as gifts to my family.

Good luck!

We are a playful lot!
