Comment: Thank you for the absolutely awesome indie/folk swap - I especially love the handspun yarns, and the dark granola chocolate is great! Your package was a delight to open and I liked everything in it. I haven't yet had the chance to listen to the CD but it seems quite awesome too, many bands which I've heard of but haven't got round listening to before. Many thanks!
Response: I'm so glad you liked what I put together for you! I especially had fun brainstorming what to send for this swap, so I'm glad it was received well!
