Crazy world!!!

This is really, really weird......


I have just this morning recieved 2 parcels from the postman.

One big one that I sent to myself last monday from London with some of my purchases from the Knitting and Stitching Show - including embroidery scissors that you can't bring carrying just hand luggage on the plane. Travel time: 4 days

The other parcel is smaller, very crinckled and looks as if it has been on a trip around the world.
Its from Helen. Its from England. It smells of almond. Travel time: 3 months.

ITS THE PURSE!!!!!!!


Usually I'm not lost for words. But this is just so weird!

Of course I have opened it and it is just as gorgious as I knew it would be. Purse is crinckled, card is crinckled - I don't care a bit - and the smell of almond? A wonderful surprise:-)))

I can not take pictures and show you now - the weather is very grey and overcast here, so no light - but I will update with photos as soon as possible.

I need some strong coffee now.
Holy cow....


UPDATE:

Here are photos of my lovely purse made by Helen:


I love this purse - the fabric is perfect!!



The whole content of the packet - purse, card, fabric and a HUGE bath soap that smells of almond!



The lining fabric - geometric - just me - love!!!



The bath soap packed in a cute suitcase - very british!



..and Helen sent me the fabric too!


I have been fondling and touching that purse more than I will admit in public. And after 3 months close to the soap bar it smells wonderfull of almond!

Thanks again Helen!


And now - I can finally say that my swap is finished - successfully!!!!

I'm a happy, happy girl:-))

Oh my goodness! I don't believe it!!! (That's my very best Victor Meldrew impression, I'll have you know!) I wonder where it's been...what a pity parcels (or purses!) can't talk. Enjoy your long-awaited purse!

I don't believe it!

Is it ok then or does crinkled mean worse for wear!?

Oh happy day!

Godt å se deg i Blogglandia igjen! Regner med du har handlet mye fint i England og fått masse inspirasjon!
Flott at pungen dukket opp, og koselig trøstepakke du fikk også!

Hey Rosa, so glad you finally got you package. At the moment I am also waiting for a package with fabric I ordered. Seems like it got lost, too. It's not even from another country!
Btw, I bought a new sewing machine yesterday! Yay! Have you gotten yours, yet?
