@@Blonde vixen offered to do this for me, and I told her I would be happy to post on her behalf for the forum, but she must have gone offline right before I responded to her... :scared:
I just got my MSA box and I LOVE the throw. It has such an earthy wabi-sabi kind of look. It's a little scratchy, but I'll use it over the foot of my bed, where it doesn't touch skin.
I got my MSA yesterday and I am pretty happy. The blanket was a little scratchy, but I'm hoping that it will soften with washing, though I think I am giving it as a gift. The eyeshadows were actually much nicer than I anticipated and applied really smoothly. But, I have to say that the necklace totally made the box for me. I could happily wear that necklace everyday and it looks great layered with chunkier necklaces too.
As for DesignSponge, I am so, so, so jealous of everyone getting box 1--I am all signed up for box 2, but it feels like a long wait. I hope y'all love it!
ya! ive been searching but all i can find are the quarterly box launch announcements! i hope someone posts something real soon the suspense is killing me! :hehe:
I held off on getting the Rosario box and have been regretting it. I really liked the idea of the multiple gifts and opening one each day of December. but the delay was just too much. . I see on Quarterly it now says the next Rosario box will be shipping in March so it's definitely too late for me to get it. *sigh* Regardless I am looking forward to seeing what was in the box
I got the Arianna Huffington and the MSA02 boxes today. The AR box is missing one of the pages of the letter just like someone else posted. I love the box. Can't wait to read the book and dig into the other goodies.
The blanket in MSA is scratchy. I'll probably keep it in the car if it doesn't work out as a throw. My eyeshadow optional color was brown which isn't very exciting. I'll probably trade it. I don't have a white cream shadow so that's a keeper! The necklace is cute but super tiny so I'll try to trade that too.
All in all, a great mail day /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I'm sorry I am horrid at doing spoilers but I did message the kind person who responded to me about the design sponge box and I told her what is in it so hopefully she gets the message and she can give you the details.

@@fancyfarmer ,what are your thoughts on the box? Did it meet your expectations? After googling the items, they all look to be very good quality and I feel the theme came through beautifully, but like @@Blonde vixen said, I think I expected more. These items are very common sub box items ( with the exception of the first spoiler) so I am not sure I am wowed enough to want to keep it...hmmm...
@@naturalactions I tend to agree with you ladies. I also looked up the items, and it definitely does not seem to be a high dollar value, and I expected more value for the $100. I'm really undecided until it's in hand if I will keep it. I really love the idea of supporting small batch independent artisans. And smaller batches mean a little higher price tag. It's just unfortunate it's the week before Christmas,because I probably wouldn't be thinking so hard about it. I think ultimately I will keep it, probably. And try it again in March. Everything will get used, and even though it's normal sub box goodies, I appreciate that they are a design, and artisan version of them. I also sent back Nina, and cancelled MSA because I really wanted to try this box.
I'm really excited with the contents of the Design Sponge box. It all seems very tasteful and coordinated. So many times boxes seem a mish-mash of items. These items seemed to have been picked with care and attention to detail. The total dollar value isn't the most important thing (as long as it's not less than what I paid.)
I will absolutely 100% keep the Design Sponge box. I have it in hand, and I love it. The curation is thoughtful, and the products are beautiful. The curator letter written by Grace explains why she chose everything and tells you about the artisans perfectly. Grace owns and personally uses each item she chose, so much thought was put into this. This box feels fancy, but not frivolous. I am excited to see what the March box holds. I do have some variations from the above listed spoiler.

Now that quarterly has its own forum, we could start a separate design sponge December thread with **SPOILERS** in the title so people could talk freely.
