Modern Vespa

To my recipient,

You are very welcome QuipMC. The copy of that book is unread. I had read a copy from the library. So although it was re-gifted, it is brand spankin' new. I was born and raised on those chips! I really couldn't think of anything else Dayton based that I could send you. The airplane and cash register were both invented here, but that era of innovation is long gone. I think a bag of plain potato chips with a 99 cent price tag on them best represents this town.

To my giver,

I loved your gifts KS7877. As a former art student who focused his studies in sculptures, I am blown away by the gigantic sand castles on the post card. The t-shirt is way cool! I can honestly say that this is the only article of clothing anyone has bought me that is in my taste. Love me some illustrated pin-up girls! Lego Santa on the Vespa is great too! I love that the color scheme matches that of my scooter. Thank you so much!



The back of the post card reads:
Happy Holiday Greetings from San Diego, William!
I read on MV that you used to live here. Do you ever come back to visit? I've been to Ohio-it's lonely. Hope you're staying warm and dry.
With best regards,
Karen

In response to the post card:
Again, thank you so much. I will try my best to stay warm and dry. It is raining here today, so your gift is even that more special! I think you may have confused me with someone else on the note of me once living in San Diego. Been here in lonely Ohio all my life. I do have plans of moving out west to Arizona in August though!
-William

We mailed our package today.

Its going for a swim.

Thanks, Warren! Thoughtful gifts. Certainly something for everyone.

Glad I decided to do this. What a great way to connect with other scooter buds.

Wow you got Jim Beam and a bag of weed...lucky.

Package posted today!

Uh, not exactly weed Stickyfrog

My package was shipped yesterday via land and air. Ms. Post Officer promised that it will arrive before the 25th. Fingers crossed.

he he he I was on the same page as Sticky on that one.

Oh well! Oregano is good too

Bwhahaha! About 100 miles from the coast. PM sent. And if I knew how to send the pictures from my iPhone, everyone else could see Jack.

Whoa! It worked!

Glad they arrived! I knew Sac. Wasn't on the coast, but to me everything west of the Rockies is "left coast"!

Ashamed to say that I finally posted mine today. Hopefully it will find its way to the great white north in the next week.

kick keep the pic coming

Hmmm, mine should have arrived by now.

Perhaps some people don't know the drill.

When you get your package, it would be nice if you could post a thank you on this thread and a photo of what you received.

This allows everyone to see the diverse examples of scooter swag, and local delicacies from around the world.

Thank you so much I do not know your screen name but beautiful gift!!

Thank you Judy! My package arrived this weekend. I will post pictures of all the amazingly yummy and cool gifts from Hawaii soon!

All wrapped up and will be in the post to the US tomorrow.

Oh such joy !

Alright - trying out new technology (new camera phone/computer connections)...

I am not sure who my Santa was... SharpColorado maybe? The package didn't have a name on it and I accidently lost the return address info from the envelope - I do seem to remember Lakeview, CO being the city.

...and then I went and ate part of the gift before taking a picture - it was a candy cane full of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups... (I did share though!)

But, despite all that - here is the pic of the cool part of the package - already used once this week on a homemade pizza cupcake!!!:

(edit: pizza p.i.e.)

Holy cow - that is a pretty sweet find... I wonder if it is a production item or a one of a kind thing from your Santa?

Desi B.

Nice to see someone got the pizza cutter!
I recognize it from a previous thread.

It's one of a kind. I made two or three, they are Corian cutting boards/serving boards. Here's another in a different color grouping:

I suspected as much... I love some of the cool inlay stuff that people can do with corian.

Impressive!

Desi B.

Gifts are wrapped and going in the mail tomorrow! Yay!

That is absolutely cool. . .

again thank you
mine is to nice to use for that. i think i am going to mount it on the wall

The postman delivered a gift from Richardsan today Thanks R! Sigh. Thank you for the personal touches. You know me well

For those of you that don't know Richardsan, he is quite the sterling and stoneware artist. It appears he also has a lot of crafty friends as well -the jelly! I am thinking of uses for the blueberry jalapeno jelly. Mmmmmm I don't think I ever told you how much I love coconut -can't wait to try out the soap.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful gifts

Merry, merry!

Oooh - very, very nice Do you have an Etsy shop? If not, you should. Nice work.

This evening 5 degrees F outside, in the dark, day after huge snowstorm... changed the battery in my wife's car with the scarf on. Neck and head are resting comfortably, thank you! 'worked great!

you are sincerely...most welcome. i went through several iterations before finishing the key ring for you...i hope it will last a long time...or wear it!...whatever you wish. those penny charms are a little unique, in that the penny metal is a good alloy up to that year...after 1982 they are zinc clad and probably unsolderable.
i got lucky on the coconut...i guess...
i had my son use a different flavour of rhonda's jelly on chicken breasts, but i didn't keep an eye on him and he only 'pasted' them once...i hear it's a nice glaze for 'things'. i prefer the raspberry combined with any choco/hazelnut spread...soo fukkin awesome...
if your cheeks are high, then i did good...

the label on the inner box...look behind it.

Someone West of me should have gotten their gift yesterday, and if not It should be there today! Keep your eyes peeled.

I got a package from Cali today, a thoughtful gift recipient is getting a jump on next year! Thank you so much, Rosalie and Alex! I was wondering what to have with dinner tonight. Problem solved!

Today I came home from work and took a little nap, I was awakened by the doorbell. When I opened the door I saw the postman walking away from the house and found a package inside the storm door. Right away I noticed it was for me and it was too big to be the bar-end's I ordered from Jettin.

As I wasn't expecting any other deliveries, I immediately thought of the gift exchange and was excited to find upon opening it that it was chock full of goodies from Florida. The family will be tasting from the bounty of the Sunshine State for the forseeable future. You did a great job picking out the gifts. Thank you so much Janine aka JKerstineJ.

You are welcome Warren. It will go well with the tortilla espanola. There is a great Spanish restaurant I love to go to. I'm ordering the Espanola next time.

someone hit the motherload!

I have 2 people this year. Bend Cyclist didn't make the date so we did an exchange. Got his cool gifts yesterday. Glasses are silicone and really cool and the card was done by his sister. 8) Thanks Mark. Still awaiting my other one.

Thank you Judy! Such fun and savory gifts from the North Shore. Those
glasses are from Silipint. They are great for tailgating, BBQ, days at
the beach where glass is not allowed. They would look great with a
Modern Vespa roundel on them. Ideas....

Hey Judy, which of these products to do make?

Cheers,
Bendcyclist

This Vespa girl is going to have a RED HOT Christmas. And I think I was the one to hit the motherload. Thank you Desi for all of the wonderful sauces and spices and honey and jam from your neighborhood. My husband is smiling too.



MikeyL,
You are welcome for the sunshine goodies. I hope you enjoy them on a cold winter day.

Janine

That coconut peanut butter is to die for.

So I got this in the mail today, from someone in Illinois (name I don't recognize) and no note explaining the package, nothing indicating MV connection. It is a fabulous gift for a Sooner and I can't wait to read it, but would like to know who is responsible, so please speak up!
