The Syndicate

Even after arriving back to Asheville from Kentucky, Christmas wasn't over—I received a lovely Arizona gift box from bea!



Got a number of tasty local chocolates, a creepy cool scorpion magnet, and a whimsical ornament of the Native American fertility and trickster god Kokopelli (which is now displayed proudly on my tree). And coffee, because coffee is always a good decision. Thanks so much!

Yeah, I'm not saving my reactions. Because I got a package from Speedchuck the other day, and I'm delighted!



All sourced from Lowe Mill in North Alabama (what an election, btw), the treats included truffles, a bag of coffee, and cheese straws. Of which there were significantly more than two before I realized I should take a picture. Thanks so much!

Ahhhhh I just made cowboy coffee with fresh grounds from Speedchuck's stuff and it's SO FRIGGIN GOOD! Just thought you'd like to know.

Man, my package still hasn't arrived at its intended destination, and it's a week into the new year. CURSE YOU USPS!

Still in transit?

As far as I know. Stupidly, I threw out the tracking number, but I'm not sure what good that would do anyway...

I've given up hope at this point: [mention]Glorfindel[/mention], I'm so sorry that my package didn't get to you Something must've gotten lost in translation from Asheville, North Carolina to Australia, and I'm really bummed.

I can at least show you what you would've gotten! I did some shopping at Horse and Hero, my favorite art gallery in town, and got you a card from a local artist, along with a refrigerator magnet and a few cool stickers. The stickers were by local artist Hannah Dansie, and the magnet was specifically a "spell to prevent loss of voice" by Abacus Corvus. I figured the latter would be perfect for Mafia, lol. Perhaps it acted as a proxy to prevent an even greater catastrophe?

Again, I'm super bummed that it didn't work. If you should ever find yourself in North Carolina, Glorf, I owe you all of the beers!
