Things in the mail

The mail has been quite fun lately.  I received a pair of Aerosoles (love, love, love this brand) of shoes from Eric for Christmas.  The receipt came with a $10 off of another pair of shoes.  Of course I "need" another pair of shoes.  Actually, my brown work shoes were purchased for Simon's baptism.  I recently deemed them worn out and done.  I was sad to see them go.  But now, I have a new brown pair of shoes that I love.  They arrived in the mail today.  I am now set for another 7 or so years?!?!?  That's how long the last pair lasted.

Then, I purchased wooden knitting needles.  I needed some sizes for a year-long project I would like to make, using my yarn stash and buying as little yarn as possible to complete.  I also did not have the size needed to make a scarf with some awesome yarn that I purchased at the closing sale of the best yarn shop ever in St. Paul, MN.  I will now have a nice set of knitting needles. PLUS, I found an on-line coupon code and paid less than $2.99 per pair of needles and I believe free shipping.

I ALWAYS search for a coupon code before ordering ANYTHING online.  ALWAYS.  And I usually find some sort of a deal.  I like a percentage off with free shipping the best.

Then, I am waiting for this lovely tray to give to my sister-in-law for her birthday.  She enjoyed my Swedish Almond Cake recipe so much, that she purchased her own pan.  I found this lovely tray for her to use with the cake.   My recipe changes flaver; I make orange, vanilla, lemon, and almond.  So yummy!!

So, the mail has been good.
