We went downtown to the healthfood store where they have just started serving lunch. All they have right now is organic salads, but it was great. Just what I needed. After we were done eating, we shopped a little and here's what I bought:
They had these sesame sticks on the salad bar and they were so yummy, I had to buy some. The candied ginger is for some Christmas biscotti I'm going to make next week for gifting. And the other 3 bags are my sachet popurri makings. One bag contains rose petals, one contains lavender, and the other is flax seed. The girl at the store suggested that for filler. What a great idea. I hadn't thought of filler. But it's smooth and small and gives the bags a little weight, not to mention, it makes the smell good stuff go farther. I'm thinking these would make good teachers' presents. Here's a picture of 2 of the filled bags. I have 3 more to fill, but the liners aren't sewn up yet.
I couldn't show you the bar of organic dark chocolate with candied ginger in it, cuz DH & I ate it while we browsed the used book store across the street. There's nothing like a good salad and a bar of chocolate to make your afternoon a breeze.
When I got home, one of my colleagues sent me this in an email. It's an animated drawing of a female figure. It's really cool. Check it out.
Another good thing. I won some fantastic Koigu from Beth during her celebration of the opening of her spinning store. She sent me a message today that she's ready to ship. I'm super excited about it and very grateful.
Yes, yes, I know. I'm very lucky and quite spoiled.

That was an awesome video! I was transfixed... I'm going to have to watch it again later.
I love the sachets. I'm going to make me some from the Holiday IK, but it won't be until after Christmas for sure.
P.S. Gonna join the Enid-Along?
What a neat post :)
And yes, you deserve to be spoiled. Glad you had such a great day!
You really deserve to be spoiled!
Those sachets are really nice. That's the same horseshoe lace pattern I used on a baby blanket not too long ago. I love that lace.
I've spent much of my morning eating organic sesame sticks! I just couldn't stop myself.
I love your sachet bags- a really cool idea.
