I am speechless.....


I cannot believe it! Both my children have measles...so my dear dad went to the PO for me to collect a parcel awaiting there for me. He got back with it and I nearly fell over at the sheer size of it! Oh my goodness??!!
Take a look..
You can click on any image to view it full size.


I had to leave it unopened for about three hours though as it was bathtime, supper time etc...Finally after dinner and whilst watching Grey's Anatomy I couldn't wait any longer. Even DH wanted to see....I opened it and wow....
This is what came out..
Oh wait...before I show you..this package/gift/amazing parcel was from a swap I did with Nerissa.
It was her first swap....oh boy, was I the lucky one!!

The best things for me were a set of rubber stamps..here they are just so expensive...to give you an idea ..a medium sized stamp can cost R40 the same price as 4L milk, 2 loaves of bread and two slabs of chocolate... What do they cost there?
The other treat for me, and one of the best things I have gotten so far are these magazines. We get country living here, but not Romantic Homes nor Somerset life/studio. In fact I have seen these magazines mentioned on blog's and have been craving them for absolute ages!
I was THRILLED to get these....they are incredible!


Let me show a glimpse inside....
Just beautiful...
So thank you Dear Nerissa....I am totally thrilled and amazed!! I owe you! My box to you was nowhere as near as nice as this!

I have some more stuff to show you but will do it in another post.

I am wowwed by your blog! Thanks for sharing. I'd be blown away too, if I received a parcel like this! I have the fondest of memories of the parcels my dear Gramma (now passed on) used to send us as kids. It was just a bit of this and that she'd tuck in, but in a family of 8 it was SO special to recieve something "just for me" ...

have a good day!
