I love getting post!
I think it's a result of having been at boarding school that I always find the arrival of the postman to be one of the highlights of any day. So much anticipation, even if it's usually wholly unwarranted. I always open post straight away, even if I can see that it's just bills or circulars. And real letters make me so happy. But the best kind of post, of course, is a parcel.
Today I had a parcel from my old flatmate in the US. It's a very early birthday present which she has been excited about sending me since Christmas and clearly couldn't wait any longer. The part which I was expecting was a pile of fabric from the cutest shop that only opened last summer in Philadelphia (to my disappointment, though the great relief of my bank balance). She got me three half-yards of fabrics in bright pinks and oranges that I absolutely love. Pictures to come later, I promise.
She also sent a sweet little notebook with a green and pink cover (she does know me quite well). But my top favourite thing is a box of drawing pins with beautiful coloured heads: fuchsia pink, lime green, yellow, orange, blue. They are everything I like best - useful, beautiful, fun, well-designed.
I am a very happy girl today.
