Up next are the gifts from my parents’ trip. Those who were following along knew that they took a cruise to the South Caribbean (sp?) over Christmas, and tonight they gave some of us our gifts. First there is a lovely blue shawl, really silky and very finely woven. My mom said it was so I could have one that I didn’t have to make for myself! 🙂 Next is a case for my cell phone with a “J” and a little mug on it, perfect reminder for me to go grab a cup of tea! The blue necklace is strung with shells of a really soft, pale blue that goes so nice with my eyes (if I do say so myself), and then the REALLY large black bag from Curacao that will be perfect for holding, guess what? Knitting! There was one other gift, shown below this pic.
