A few days ago, my second package arrived, Emma Wigworthy is really an awesome pal, I couldn't believe that I was getting so many goodies... And again, everything was lovely packaged with personalized paper.

Unfortunately, the jars of the jam and pickles she made for me were broken during shipping, but luckily she had everything packaged separately and neither the yarn nor the bag got stained.

The yarn is handdyed 100% silk in beautiful shades of green plus some handspun, handdyed silk/angelina in black with a hint of silver.

And the bag is lovely, lined with fabric that has some pockets for knitting supplies and a small pocket on the outside that closes with the cutest button, have a look at it yourself:

Homework - Fleur Delacour

Fleur Delacour is a beautiful witch - her grandma was a Veela - who comes from France and visits the wizard school of Beaubatons there. She and some other students come to Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament, where she meets Harry, Herminone, Ron and Bill Weasley - her future husband. During the Tournament, Harry saves her sister Gabrielle. She is very dismissive at Hogwarts and criticizes everything there, loud enough to be heard by everyone. Due to her Veela blood, she is very attractive to men and boys, and she knows exactly about her beauty and that she has some power over men.

In summer 1995, she takes a part time job at Gringotts in London, to improve her english - and probably to get to know Bill Weasley better. About a year later, they become engaged. Their wedding is in summer 1997, and the very same day the Ministry of Magic falls to the Deatheaters.

Fleur helps Harry to escape from the house of the Dursleys by drinking polyjuice potion and faking to be Harry - as well as some other do. She fights at the side of her husband Bill and the other during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Bill and Fleur have 3 children, Victoire, Dominique and Louis.

Her wand has a core made from Veela hair from her grandma.

She has silvery-blonde hair, blue eyes and very even white teeth, her voice is described as "throaty".

Her name is french and means "flower of the court" if you translate it to english.

Her school Beaubatons is the best known school for wizardry in France, even though there might be others.

Veela are fairylike women with silvery-blonde long hair which is still moving even when there is no wind at all. Men affected by them will do the most silly things, just to get recognized. But when a Veela is angry, she will show an entirely different face, they transform into scary creatures with scaled wings and can throw fireballs on their victims.

Package #1 arrived

I couldn't believe my eyes, when the owls delivered this beautiful package yesterday... okay, it was a standard looking package, but the content was awesome.

Everything was wrapped in paper with "Especially for ..." (can't show you a pic because it was my Muggle name and I don't want to reveal it yet) and the Slytherin logo printed all over it and the content was lovely packaged and decorated too.

But have a look yourselves, what I found in there:

A sock knitting book, a beautiful set of stitch markers, lovely packaged set of dpns - they look like Knit Picks Harmony, but I'm not sure - a printed version of the "Durmstrang sock" pattern in a cover that closes with a magnet. Parts of the pic are blurred, because they show my Muggle name too

And have a look at those beautiful wrapped cans with Spotted Dick and English Custard - I don't have an idea what it is, but I'm curious to find it out. I love to get to know food from other parts of the world that I can't buy here.

And last, but not least, there were 3 beautiful looking bags filled with delicous candy, I already tried all 3 of them and can't name a favorite


Now I'm looking forward to the second package with my bag and yarn, but I'm sure it will be awesome too.

Thanks so much, Emma Wigworthy, this must be the best swap package I ever got.
