The next day, the form was back, and another box circled where I needed to sign. DANGIT! No fear, no worries, back out to the mailbox it went, and when the doorbell rang bright &#038; early this morning, part of me knew &#8211; my package had arrived! (Part of me panicked, as I looked a bit Bride o&#8217; Frankenstein.)<\/p>\n<p>Wonderful angel Kina, from Taiwan, pitched in when my secret pal for International Scarf Exchange didn&#8217;t send anything. (James joked, &#8220;From Taiwan? Isn&#8217;t that where the Thai food is?&#8221; If you watched this last season of Amazing Race, you&#8217;ll get that joke. We know Taiwan is in China!)  My package was wrapped securely and felt very solid. After getting the paper and bubble wrap off, I was greeted by this cheerful box:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/2236281581\/\" title=\"Beautifully Wrapped Present! by plazajen, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2343\/2236281581_4675a6247a.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Beautifully Wrapped Present!\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kina can wrap presents, let me tell you. I was impressed immediately! After unwrapping the cheerful gingham, I saw this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/2237073406\/\" title=\"Vintage fabric box by plazajen, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2299\/2237073406_31966dd756_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Vintage fabric box\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A very, very cool box covered in vintage kitchen fabrics. I&#8217;m not sure if Kina made this herself, but it wouldn&#8217;t surprise me! It&#8217;s fabulous!<\/p>\n<p>Then I opened up that box, and I have to admit, I got distracted from picture-taking &#038; just started unwrapping. I got so excited! But trust me &#8211; everything in the box was fabulously wrapped as well &#8211; mulberry rice paper and a brown ribbon encased my scarf &#8211; a beautiful lacey wool-polymide blend in all my favorite colors. A wonderful bag was similarly wrapped &#8211; made of soft, vintage fabric, lined, and will make a great knitting project bag. She also enclosed a fun beaded fob shaped like bells, made of beads, and a sweet letter. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/2236286831\/\" title=\"ISE5 Scarf &amp; Gifts by plazajen, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2253\/2236286831_0b7411858c.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"ISE5 Scarf &amp; Gifts\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What a wonderful, caring package, from a person who pitched in without a reciprocal pal herself.
