Look what was my post box today

Aren't I lucky?!
Oh I know I am! I got a package from TWO fabulous bloggers. One from Valerie. A wonderful surprise and it came with some Love-Pukka tea!
The other on is from Cindy. She sent me her absolutely fabulous calender. I am looking forward to using it all year....once i can stop looking at it and put it in a nice spot.
I am so happy right now I could jump up and down
(- except that I hurt a little especially -UHM- my derriere...~it's to do with today's workout~... which is why i will refrain from actually doing so, please feel free to imagine it anyway )

THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU! You made my week!

Look what the wind brought in....

well to be exact the postmen did bring me a piece of paper, which stated that there was something at the Cape Town Post Office waiting for me.

After some investigations (never was at the Post Office in Town) I was off, braving the winds and rains. And at the Postoffice I was handed a big white envelope. When I saw the handwriting I immediately recognized it. IT WAS FROM AIMEE. It's the first parcel I gotten since I live in Cape Town. How cool is that?

I couldn't wait to arrive at home, so I went into a coffeeshop to open it, since it was raining outside. And this is was the envelope had held;

Two pieces of Aimee's gorgeous Art! I feel so lucky to have them and been bouncing around ever since. ( the grin in my face will take a few days to vanish)

Already found a place for both of them... just need to find the right frames.

THANK YOU AIMEE!

Hope you had a wonderful day, will tell you about my trials to embrace autumn (and its rains) tomorrow

Snail Mail

Yesterday I saw a nice Postcard and decided to send it to my parents ( don't think they do blogs...so this post will not spoil the surprise), as I was writing it I was thinking how I always loved correspondence
I had my first pen pal at 13- which got me hooked, had tons after that from all over the world, my correspondence was in 3 different languages by the time I was 15, and I am sure that I learnt most of my french through my Canadian pen pal. When we would go on holidays all my friends and I would write each other post cards... one summer I wrote probably 30 of them, my father thought I was bonkers! this 30 were excluding the ones I sent to my pen pals, by the way, maybe I was a bit bonkers. But when I came home I had more than 20 cards waiting for me!
I love snail mail! Getting letters or cards is wonderful! Its fabulous... I love the anticipation of opening a letter, looking at the post stamps, just the fact that someone took the time to sitdown and write something for me. Sadly this is getting more and more rare
And this brings me to my idea I had today. Do you like getting snail mail? Well if you do leave a comment before Sunday 1.00 am GMT- I will then contact you for your address and in not too distant future you will get a card from the very sunny and very hot Cape of Goodhope.
Since I am not sure how many of you will leave a comment I will limit my number of cards to 5. If there are more than five comments, I will chose 5 winners randomly.
