isbn 4579109988, thank-you lyn for reviewing this one and for getting me hooked on yeasasia...


isbn 4579208110, because i'm a paper fiend...


and last but by no means least in fact it's probably my favourite, the wonderful rinen wa ku, isbn 4579209303...thank you alison for posting and recommending this one...i love it's smallness, i've been carrying it around in my handbag serene in the comfort of knowing it is there...

yummy mail...

i love the sound of mail...
stop-start motorbike
or
a motor not quite screeching to a halt...door slamming...one, two, three, four, five...there, it slams again and the motor hastily retreats...hooray, that means mail or maybe even a package...

today it was this lovely parcel of afternoon tea goodness from kath at red current...


the reason for my interest in the mail is that i am anxiously awaiting my first ever delivery from yesasia, so you can understand my excitement when i also discovered this in the mailbox...


off we trot to the post office to collect
a small slim envelope...
that couldn't possibly contain my japanese craft books!
and it doesn't...
it's stamps for you know who and while they are perfectly lovely stamps,
it's not quite the same!
luckily i got to come home to this...


and a nice cup of tea and these yummy biscuits...


thanks ever so much kath... they are delicious and made my day!

essential viewing...

i have a new favourite tv show...this one, it's so so wonderful, i love it...
i'm going to go and watch it now!
and there's more here...

in the mail...

a lovely parcel arrived here last week...a while back, we fell in love with flossie at hop skip jump but didn't go shopping fast enough... fiona kindly agreed to make another similar kitty for little moo...


our lovely cat is called beth, she is settling in very well...getting used to being called "cat" for the moment and to being given rather slobbery kisses every now and again...it was a wonderful surprise to find these little things in our parcel too, gorgeous fabrics and a delightful pincushion...


thank you so much fiona, we just love our new things!
