Greetings! I've been so utterly sick lately, that I haven't had a chance to do anything but sleep and cough the last three days. My couch is my new best friend. Which is why I felt such joy when I received a package in the mail, that I was so not expecting!! I hadn't forgotten that I signed up to participate in Stephanie from Dispensing Happiness' Blogging By Mail event, I just wasn't expecting my package so soon! Here's what I found waiting on my doorstep when I woke up from a Nyquil-induced slumber yesterday afternoon (edited the personal info, I didn't know if it would be cool for me to post addresses):
And inside, were two yummy-nummy recipes (her personal favorites that I can't wait to try out once I'm feeling better) and a lovely colorful letter from Tina at Sweet Designs!!
And here's the loot!! She got me two tins of the Republic of Tea in Spiced Gingered Peach and Blackberry Sage (I'm getting ready to boil some water for some tea right now, my throat hurts so bad), a jar of her favorite Her De Providence (oooohhh, can't wait!), a can of cake mist (in my favorite, pink!!), a beautiful jar of Tahitian vanilla beans in sugar that comes with a wonderful story that I feel so blessed to have received, coffee accents that I will most definitely keep at work to sprinkle on... well, everything!, two mini tart tins (so cute!), two frosting tips (score!), the cutest little jar of Stonewall Kitchen Jam in Wild Maine Blueberry that I could literally drink straight from the jar, a beautiful green spatula (how did you know I needed one?), two adorable kitchen towels, and last, but definitely not least, a bar of Vosges Haute Chocolat that I have been dying to try for the last three years since I saw it on a Food Network special on chocolate.
I just can not believe how spoiled I am!! Even though I can't express how happy I am because I am thisclose to losing my voice, I just want to say a big Thank You to Tina at Sweet Designs and Stephanie at the Dispensing Happiness for hosting this wonderful event. And have no fear, I am putting the finishing touches on my package and it will be on its way very soon!~Mehgan~

YAY!!!! I am soo glad it got there so soon. I really thought not til the end of the week. I hope you enjoy all of it too the fullest. They really are all my favorites, and that chocolate is awesome, I try to get something every time I am in Chicago ha-ha. You so should try a truffle if you ever get the chance..simply amazing. I hope you feel better!!!
What a great package - BBM is good fun.
I too am participating in BBM and it's such fun to see what every one is sending/receiving. The Tahitian vanilla beans in sugar sound extra special. My problem with items like that is I never want to use the sugar or the beans, instead keeping them for a special occasion use that may never come :)
It's always great to have the opportunity to try something profiled on FoodNetwork. The chocolate is certain to be excellent. Enjoy!

Nothing like some fun mail to make you feel better. Looks like a fabulous assortment of goodies.
Love your package! And especially the Tahitian vanilla beans in sugar! Have been wanting to get my hands on some beans for a while now.. not that easily available here :(
I love your package! Sweetdesigns knows how to pack them! Cant wait for my BBM package. I had so much fun putting together my package for my partner.
Hope you feel better! That cake in the post below would make me feel better. :)
That is so awesome! Isn't that tea so comforting. Hope it really hit the spot!
