My Spoilee's Studio Ghibli Swap

Well, now that my box has been received I can share all the fun details online. My assigned person (winddreamer88) listed Howl's Moving Castle as one of her favorite movies, and Calcifer and Turnip Head were listed as some of her favorite characters (from all the movies), so I decided to go with that for my theme.

Howl provided me with some yarn in the colors of his crow form, so that he would be remembered. He also used his magic to make it extra special and pretty.

Ever practical Sophie sent some socks. She did follow Howl's lead and made them in colors that would be reminiscent of her (her blue dress with white buttons, and her hair that is the color of starlight).

Sophie also sent along a notions box adorned with one of her favorite memories of Howl & Calcifer (when they met). Inside she tucked in some needles to work up Howl's yarn with and some stitch markers in the image of her companions (Sophie's Hat, Turnip Head, ad Calcifer).
...hey how did he get in there?! Looks like a Soot Sprite tagged along for the ride (he doubles as a tape measure n_n)

Of course Calcifer had to send something. Even though he and Howl aren't tied to each other anymore, he didn't want to leave, so he sent along a cuddly version of himself. (Don't worry--this Calcifer won't steal your heart...I think!)

Turnip Head...er, the Prince...did not want to be forgotten either. He sent along a pint glass with his enchanted form etched into it.

And of course Markl could not allow himself to be forgotten. He sent along some Koala Yummies (appealing to winddreamer88's love of chocolate without being too scary adventurous in the arena of Japanese snacks), and a variety of teas.

Another of winddreamer88's favorite movies is Kiki's Delivery Service. This is also one of my favorite movies, and since she did not own a copy yet, I had to include it.

We then made sure to wrap it up all nice and fun n_n
