This morning I bemoaned having to make a trip to the “far away” post office because there was a package that needed signing for.
You should have seen me when the postal guy asked me: “Well, are you going to share?!?”
And I thought…SHARE? WHAT?!?
The customs form said the box containted “chocolates and biscuits” All the way from AUSTRALIA!!
I could hardly wait to get the box home and get into it ---
I tore into it with reckless amusement and spilled the contents out onto the dining room table, aka Shipping Station:
Holy Tim Tams!!
Thank you thank you thank you goes to Vonnie who was so kind to think of us! We’ll have fun parceling these out this weekend at the cabin. Jason is bringing up his new girl friend ((This is serious stuff if he actually wants to introduce us to someone special!)) and we will have a great weekend.
A couple other goodies showed up with no message at all and I’m not sure WHY they came to my door, but we are going to share the love:
NOTE: THIS DRAWING ENDED June 1, 2014! Congrats to our lucky winners!
NOTE: THIS DRAWING ENDED June 1, 2014! Congrats to our lucky winners!

((He’s got the scrappy neutrals thing going on, y’all!))
There are loads of great quilts included for summer ---and we are going to draw for two lucky winners!
