Oh. So. Lucky.

I am.

I really am.

I was contemplating skipping a post today - I've been up since 4.30am, I'm tired, grumpy & feeling rather unproductive... but what was waiting for me when I opened the door to go & empty the vacuum cleaner....?!

Why, piles & piles of lovely vintage fabric all the way from the USA, of course!

Bethany ran a giveaway on her blog last month & lucky for me & unlucky for them, one of the winners never got back to her with an address & I was picked in the second chance draw - woohoo! There is nothing better to cheer up an exhausted, frazzled Vic on a dreary Monday morning!

My three favourites;


I also have to send out huge thanks to Claire for her super duper package - she spoilt us so much - not only did I receive a super funky red apron, but lots of other goodies too, including a Punky Pirate doll for... you guessed it, my very own Punky Pirate.




Then I got a lovely package wrapped up in brown paper from Kylie.... (including some fantastic yellow buttons...!!)


Annnnnnnnnd, just so you can feel fully justified in hating me, I got this sweet wee Nilla Nilla lip balm in the mail from Curious Oyster, it is ALL THAT, let me tell you. Made in Melbourne & adorned with a cheeky cheesecake pinup... oh how I love vintage pinups!



Gosh the blogosphere has been good to me so far! And don't think I don't appreciate it, and every little thing that happens to come my way in the mail, because I absolutely do! I feel ever so lucky but not only that, I feel very welcomed into this blogging community. It makes it all a little bit more real to be able to touch, wear or adore something I have only seen on a computer screen & to think that someone has had the generosity of heart to send it out to me.


I am slowly gearing up for my 150th post giveaway (since I totally missed the 100th....) & am going to make it a big one. It's the least I can do, good bloggy karma & all....!

  8. Oh. MY. Gosh. Well, how does one match that- I got an IGA catalogue, a big w catalogue- no nothing would match that. Definitely worth a blog post. I have been bolting to the gate when I hear the postie, but no mail for me, waiting on Amy Karols printing book from fishpond, waiting- and I am working tomorrow so don't get to loiter- bet it will come then!!

  9. Yay for parcels of goodness! Wonderful stuff there. Not too jealous though, since I recently received a swell package myself. It does put one in a better mood right off.

  10. I know guys, I don't even think lucky is a good enough word for it...! ;)

    GemmaJoy - Woohoo! That is so cool!

    Cam - That IS funny... I wonder who you could be sending lovely packages to...?! *whistles*

    Amy - You know, it's hard to believe, but I have heard (although I am hoping it's an urban myth) that some people don't appreciate those girls as much as they should... shocking I know!

    Tanya - I have a confession to make. I love junk mail. So if I hadn't gotten lovely fabric, I would have been a teensy weensy bit cheered by a Big W catalouge. It's weird though, because as much as I like to look through them, I never BUY ANYTHING out of them... I don't even know WHERE my closes big W is!

    Lola - You are a better woman than me my dear... I get jealous at the drop of a hat! (especially if its a pretty, crocheted red hat with button embellishments... *swoon*)
