Picture the scene – me slobbing around in my jammies on a lazy Saturday morning, H pottering in the garden, the children watching telly / building lego towers (according to their own preferences!). Door bell rings. It’s the postman (it’s OK, the postie is used to seeing me in my jammies / towel and even one time with one boobie on display – well he did ring whilst I was breastfeeding!) Anyway, he hands me a package and it’s all I can do to restrain myself from hugging him. Instead I slam the door, grab the camera and scoot upstairs to savour the moment alone. What you may ask has got me so excited, have I won a years supply of chocolate / wool, is it new shoes… well, you’re not going to guess so I’ll tell you – IT’S A PACKAGE FROM MELLY AND ME here all the way from Australia in the record breaking time of 3 days door-to-door!!
I rip off the postal bag:
I open the beautiful handmade card and get a warm glow from reading the message. I delicately undo the wonderful red ric rac trim, and I gasp in delight at the array of goodies spread before me
Gorgeous, beautiful, fabulous bag with polka dots (love them) and my favourite colours, the cutest little bear in the world, wonderfully soft and pretty wool, beautiful cards with Rosie’s quilt designs AND chocolate biscuits! Ahhhh, words fail me.
Thank you , thank you, thank you Melly and Rosie, it’s all wonderful!

What a fabulous package! I love the bag, the colours are so pretty and the little bear is very cute 🙂 I’ve been eyeing up the pattern for this bag on Buttonberry and now I think I’m going to have to get it and make it up for myself!

Hello Julie,
What a lovely package – so beautifully wrapped and your photos are great, especially the last one, with the little bear looking out! Those of us who have never tried them will have to imagine how delicious those biscuits are – hopefully, you will find time to put your feet up with a cup of tea and enjoy them. The bag is so pretty and perfect for keeping your knitting safe during your projects.
Three days from Australia – now that is impressive! In Canada, it can take longer than that to send a letter across the city!!
