From Trash to Treasure

You know the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure".  Well, we are the happy recipients of a few treasures thanks to my sister-in-law.

Every year, my dear sister-in-law sends a box of items that she has collected throughout the year.  Typically these goodies are freebies that are given to her while traveling for business.  The items this year included a few t-shirts, a raincoat, some bath essentials and other such gifts which one might use to advertise a business.  Then, much to my 10 year old's delight, out of the box came a Harry Potter mug, a chocolate frog, a Hogwarts school journal and other Harry Potter essentials.  (Oh, and a "Food Face" plate for me.  I thought it might come in handy for entertaining.)  L could hardly contain his enthusiasm when he saw these items come out of the box.  Thanks Aunt Patti!
