NO! Not from Queen Elizabeth... from Curtise my faux fur loving friend in the UK. http://sopastcaring.blogspot.com/The package was waiting for my when I woke up Yesterday morning.
As soon as I seen it I did a quick little package dance and opened it up.
Inside was: Carousel Jug, a sweet little doll, birdy card, Canada tea towel (Now how did that make it all the way to the UK? lol), cute ocean theme postcardand last but not least a adorable vintage dress.
*Yeeeeeaaii*
Dress top is white lacy fabric, separated by a pink ribbon waist, leading to a lot of cute-sy flowers.
Dolly: When she got here she was quite shy. I don't really know what she thought about Canada. But once I told her she could have a dog her shyness disappeared.
I named her Kinsey which means 'Royal victory'Totally fitting isn't it?? *hehe* Her Boxers name is Muck and they played outside all day today in the melting snow.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. My parent's used to take us to the States and I would ride on the outdoor carousel in Seattle. Come to think of it I would ask to ride on every darn carousel I seen.
Picture on the postcardWhich will now have a place on my side bar.
And the tea towel that tried to immigrate from Canada to the UK but couldn't get a Visa. Better luck next time little towel.Thank you so much Curtise for your sweet and thoughtful package. It came at a perfect time. I haven't been in a thrift shop since Friday and I SWEAR I am going batty. And then like a dream come true...without entering a shop some vintage goodies arrive at my doorstep. What could be better than that??
Not much!
Lastly I am sure you see that Vintage Coconut has a new Crustacean-ious look.
That is because on February 14th (VALENTINES DAY)
It is my 2 year Blogiversary. I really hadn't updated my blogs look since I started it up. So I thought a little change might freshen things up
(You know... like misty Ocean air.)
In 2010 I only did 28 posts.
In 2011 I did 87
I am hoping in 2012 I will be able to get to at least 100 posts.
All I can say is if you suffer from Ostraconophobia... you might want to steer clear of this blog.
