I am going to make up by putting some EXTRA chocolate in, Twirls.
Skaduzy, these are the same as flakes only (if you can believe it) they are then coated in chocolate. Yummy yummy, I reckon they will travel better than flakes.
If I have a squashed flake I usually sprinkle it over ice cream. Actually here in England we have an ice cream called a "99" which is a cone with vanilla ice cream and a flake stuck in it. I have no idea why it is called a "99", Tussy might be able to help with that one.
Try not to eat all your flakes at once Skaduzy..

The purple fabric is so cool... I'm not sure how to describe it. It's not metallic, not chunky and scratchy like some glitter fabrics, but kind of a glisten. Unfortunately, I couldn't get that to show in the picture and I know my description isn't very good. I've never seen anything like it - but I know what I'm going to do with it! It will be part of a Halloween runner or topper I am planning.
Nice package Robin, you can still come over to the bench to say hello and show us your darling things...
The small red thingy is another item I've never seen. It's a used needle holder by Fons and Porter. Kind of like a package that Schmetz needles come in, but for your used needles. How clever is that?
The mug rug made me giggle. It says, "It's not unfinished, it's HALF FINISHED!" Yeah, so take that!!
Plus a nice book, Christmas decorating pattern, another fabric with my favorte colors (red, green and purple), a sampler of different battings by Quilter's Dream, which is nice as it has a piece of each along with a descrption of the uses/qualities for each, and a nice note.
Thank you, Ann for making my first swap so fun!
Peace and Joy,
Robin

OK, this will probably take a bit to load everything. I got all sorts of goodies from NanaKathy55 - Kathy. There are two, count 'em two, bags of scraps, 2 pieces of fabric, Milky Way's, a book to share, a X-stitch leaflet, scrapbook paper,handmade cards, a state thimble, pin cushion, handmade fabric bowl, a fall mug and tealight holder and a jar of ???? It looks like honey, but I'm not sure. Hate to open it right away - I like looking at it! Kathy, thanks so much!

If you back track this thread you will see a picture and also a supplier. They are a chocolate stick which is made up of layers of chocolate, they melt in the mouth. i think all the brits in the secret swap are going to have to send them out every time. We have created a monster LOL
