Gifts From Down Under!!!

You know that you live in a VERY small town when...

a. there is only one traffic light.

b. you can shoot a cannon off at 7:00 p.m. on the main street and not hit anyone.

c. you and the mayor are on a first name basis.

d. you walk into the post office and the clerk announces for all to hear, "You have a package from Australia!"

Answer...ALL of the above!


It just had to be from my Secret Easter Swap partner! Who else?

I'm not going to fib to you all...I'm going to admit it straight out...I sped home! I just couldn't wait to see what was inside...from OZ! Yikes! This is as good as it gets!

I opened the package and look what was inside!


An incredibly beautiful tote in the most delicate Spring colors. There are three appliqued hearts on the front as well as some butter yellow rick rack trim just above it. And...

there's a matching appliqued heart on the reverse as well. And have a look at what I found hiding inside the tote...

chocolates and Easter eggs which I'm NOT sharing with Sam. And...

a magnet...

which already has a new home and has settled in quite comfortably on our refrigerator. And...

a fabric coaster which I will keep right next to me at the computer to set my tea on. And...

some incredibly lovely, bright and cheerful charm squares. And...

some John James embroidery needles...my favorites! And...

a lovely card wishing me and my family a happy Easter.

Thank you from the very, very bottom of my heart Leanne. You have touched me more than I can say and I'll treasure your gifts for always...except for the chocolates which will never make it past tomorrow. And to Julie, a BIG hug for organizing The Secret Easter Swap. What great fun it's been!
