Wow that's wonderful! I love the glass reamer. I use my wooden one all the time and never even knew they made them in glass!

Great job!

What a bright cheerful package! Cat butt gum.......um, maybe I really don't want to know! Love all the yellow! The lemon/lime reamer is pretty cool, too. Great job, Sol!

Diana...love, love lemon, so that package is right up my alley.
Sol, fantastic gifts...even the cat butt gum...HAHAHA

Jayne

That is a drop dead gorgeous package..and your photography, gee Diana, it could have been an ugly package (which of course it wasn't) and it would have been beautiful with your photography.
Anyway, Sol, you did a wonderful job. I love the puckery lemon stuff. (That lemon juice bottle is gorgeous too)
Enjoy your "booty" Diana.

This is terrific! I must have a glass...hummmm...juicer. That gum is hilarious.

What a lovely lemon-y package. A box of sunshine! Whata pretty bottle of lemon juice. Where the heck did you find that gum?? Eee-yoo.

I am coveting the reamer..I know..sinful..But I LOVE it!!!!And want one:)
It's like thoe little blue Ann T pots.. a yearning:)

Okay, I googled the Tovola Polycarbonate Citrus Reamer and there is no link to order it.

Ohhhhhh, love lemon. A great box, especially the cook book devoted to things lemon.
Linda

Oh wow! This is a beautiful package!
Sol, Very nice box and Diana you deserve it!

Great photo, Diana! Wonderful swap box, Sol! The jury is still out on the Cat Butt gum....

wow, Diana, you were right - what a great sunny package! :-)

Such wonderful, tasteful, (well, mostly) items! I'd love to try some saffron, and see what that juice is like!

Sol, you picked a great theme and wonderful items for Diana...

Stacy

Another one who thinks the reamer is beautiful....almost like art!

Very well-thoughtout package Sol, Lucky you Diana.

Janet

Oh I'm loving that reamer! Another thing on my wish list. Love that it all goes so well with your kitchen to Diana!

Great job from our sunshine gal!

Sol-it's like you've been to Diana's "citrusy" kitchen. Everything in right on theme! Ditto on that reamer--Diana the next time we make Caipirhana's please bring that one along!(inside joke) Another one here questioning "cat butt gum". Please explain....!
Diana I know you're going to enjoy this sunny bounty from sunny Sol and I hope you feel better soon!

A box full of sunshine that arrived on a blue day-- perfect ! Enjoy the goodies Diana-- careful with that gun !

Very cool Sol !
Diane

Cat Butt Gum. Now I've seen it all.

Nice swap package -- and saffron, ohhh, how wonderful!

very cool that gum box is hilarious!

CAT BUTT GUM??? Where do you people find these things? And all that lovely yellow. The most cheerful box yet!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Cat Butt Gum! Whodathunk???

What a bright, summery package! Love those napkins, and the reamer is way cool! Saffron and lemon juice.....MMMMMM

Great job, Sol! Diana, get to reamin', would ya?

Linda

That reamer is beautiful! I love the lemon theme. Can't wait for some of the recipes from the new book! Great package, Sol. Glad it came as a nice surprise on an otherwise not-so-hot day for you Diana.

Brenda

Diana, you're welcome! We had no computer access at all yesterday, so I couldn't check. But, I'm glad the package got to you when it did. As I'll be off (Annie and Jessica, to you I say: Shaddap!) on vacation in a few days, and was afraid I'd miss it.

I have to add, I experienced that sinking "uh-oh, I stepped in it again" feeling, when I sent off the package and suddenly realized I hadn't taken any pictures of the contents. I hate that; especially when I go on and on, admitting my estupidez in public forums. ;-Ã

But anyway, I breathed a sigh of relief when I remembered that you were the professional photographer here, so, if anybody could make the contents in that box look good, it would have to be you. And as we can all see, I'm right on both counts: You are a magnificient photographer and I'm never wrong. Case adjourned.

Diana, I'm glad you liked the citrus reamer, which is why I had to get one for me too.

Regarding the Cat Butt Gum, I'm so sorry. That darn thing landed in my shopping basket when I wasn't looking. The sender accepts no responsibility for anything suggested, hissed, burped or puckered. Again, my apologies [G]

Ellen, I knew about Diana's collection of Fiestaware, but I didn't know about her "citrusy kitchen." It must've been the psychic (or psycho) in me that nailed it.

I hope you'll enjoy it all Diana and Vicki! Are you sure I can't talk you into that house-swapping business?

Sol

What a great theme! And I love that glass lemon reamer -- that's the kind of thing you want to hang on the wall, rather than store in a drawer, so you can see it all the time. It looks summery all by itself, and more than a little magical.

I sent Cat Butt Gum to a friend of mine -- purportedly from my cat Frank. Haven't heard her final take on it either....

Ah, a gasp escaped me when I saw the photo of the citrus reemer; had a major 'O'-over it!!

I love yellow!! My new apartment will have yellow walls somewhere (Let the sunshine in, oh let the sunshine in.....size = +1>color=yellow> Drat! That's hard to read!

Anywho, Diana and Vicki are two of the sunniest people I've ever met, just add vodka to them lemons and limes and watch 'em smile.

Let's see, the cheery linens, unbreakable glasses, the book.......sigh! Everything, Sol, is so happy!

Butt gum? Not going there! HeeHee

PS Diana, I'm back, no more Mwaw-ing, sweet'art!

Did I say I liked the photos? Yup. Which camera did'ya use?

A reemer?? Cat Butt gum?? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. . . . .

That bottle of lemon juice IS really cool, as is the ramekins and reamer! That is one sunny package, Sol (doesn't sol mean sun in Spanish, BTW?) ~ great job!

Enjoy the lemoney goodness, Diana!

Sol - I didn't mean the above post disrespectful. When I reread it, I thought ooooo that didn't sound too good. :)

It's a lovely package. I love the yellow placemats and napkins. These items will go with her kitchen perfectly.

Looks like the timing of it was perfect. Diana, I hope you're feeling better.

I don't love...no...I adore that lemon reamer. Pretty!!!

Great theme and fantabulous goodies.

Another fan of of the reamer!! ROFL at that gum!! Super package Sol! I know for sure Diana will enjoy it all!!!

David

Sol, my friend, you have the hit of the swap. Your legacy is the... Cat Butt Gum! Just kidding (it is SO cool). I believe it's the reamer. Have a great time on your vacation!

Doris, I know exactly what you meant. I'm sure Sol took no offense.

Citrus Reamer is gorgeous and looks like a piece of art...how beautiful. Could you tell us a bit about the book? This might be something I need for my library.

Whta a perfect box from our Sunny Sol. And no, I won't "shaddup", I know you've been off. Nearly as long as I have. (grin)

I really like the brightness of that whole box and I love lemon anything. That lemon juice is very interesting, I've never seen anything quite like that.

Of course, I've never seen Cat Butt Gum before either. Ahem.

Have a great vacation, Sol. I'm gonna miss you.

Annie

Doris, you GO girl!. . . and don't come back!
Kidding!

Dear, dear Doris, I knew exactly what you meant. In fact, I had a similar ugh-reaction when I first saw the gum. Then I giggled like a little hooligan who thought she was getting away with something.

You don't own any kitties, do you Doris? There might be a cat butt gum coming to a mailbox near you. ;-)

Msafirstein, I can tell you a bit about the book. As you've probably noticed, these swaps sometimes get a little out of control. Translation: I bought the same book for me too.
This book contains information about Lemons, starting with their history and recipes (There's a Meyer Lemon marmalade recipe in this book that I - a member of the non-canning brigade - would love to make). Followed by crafts, how to grow lemons, as well as, its more practical, household uses. This little book contains a lot of pictures too.

Thank you Diana and Annie Banani! I won't be leaving until tomorrow, so I had to drop by and hang wit yous guys.

Sol

I love this forum.

Yes, I've had a couple glasses of wine (hic!). ;)

That is one pretty reamer! I love the theme too. Enjoy your goodies Diana.

Oh Diana, what a great swap box Sol sent you. I'm so glad that Sol decided to participate this time. I love the reamer and those little yellow ramekins are adorable.

Ann

Diana, You're one lucky lady. I love anything lemon and since Sol is famous for her Lemon Garlic Chicken this was a great theme.

Love the gum. I can't show my son. He would definitely want some.

Enjoy!

Tracey

This sour experience will diffinatly have a sweet outcome.

ENJOY!

(is she gone on vacation yet? Good!)

Hey, I want TWO of those reamers - one for the kitchen, one for the toolbox I keep by my bed!

Diana-I love everything about this package! Lemon is my favorite flavor, too! The placemat and napkins are a pretty color. Cool glasses. I'm dying to hear about the lemon pots de cremes you make!! That saffron sounds good. I love that bottle the lemon juice is in!! I think the juicer is almost too pretty to use! It's great. Cat Butt Gum? Huh??? That's very funny! Enjoy!

Sol, another terrific parcel!
