Belated Christmas thanks
To the following kind and generous people:

To harpnfiddle, for a beautiful little Teneriffe lace butterfly.

To Una and her mother, for a plush bathrobe that nearly makes me swoon every time I put it on.

To helwen, for a curious and very effective little "lotion bar" that looks like soap and becomes shea butter hand lotion when rubbed between the palms.

To arionrhod, for a lovely flower arrangement with balsam, juniper, and a snowglobe.

To the anonymous fandom writer who fulfilled my request better than I could have imagined.

To everyone who sent me a holiday card and brightened my living room with reminders of friendship.

To Todd and Barbara, for a wonderful book on the Middle Ages.

To bronze_ribbons, for a curious, elegantly quirky little book on the little-known and fascinating aspects of travel in Italy.

To all my friends, here and out in the world, for being you. *hug*
