feeling V E R Y spoilt

I just love getting surprises in the mail ---- don't you? 
 
This week saw the arrival of my long awaited Swap parcel from Kimberley. Kim lives in New Zealand and unfortunately they're currently experiencing some MAJOR ISSUES with their postal service (this parcel took a whopping 4 weeks to reach me so you can imagine I was pretty thrilled to see it arrive out here at the farm, safely, at the start of the week)... 
 
How adorable is this wrapping paper - reminds me of the gorgeous papercut work that Rob Ryan does, don't you think?

And look at what was inside, a perfect square of pink-y goodness - a washer made for me for the 'Xmas Washer Swap'...
