The Care Package arrived....!

 Yes, it finally arrived! This morning at 10:45 :D

I had slept with the bedroom door open for a few days because I had no idea when it would be here, until Dan gave me the tracking number and I checked on the UPS website ;) Apparently the package took the scenic route, went from Philadelphia to Köln in Germany and from there to Bruxelles in Belgium. We were kinda joking and 'hoping' it would go to Paris and Milan and Moscow too ;) I'd never go to those places but it would be nice if my bag went there...

Well, Dan wanted to see my face when I opened the package and so I waited for morning coffee which for Dan is at 06:00 and for me at 13:00. First thing I saw was ( I thought) a scrap of paper but it turned out to be a pastel portrait of Dan :) A friend of him made that several years ago (in 2003). So that was the unique thing, and it was Dan too, just as he said .

Then, rummaging through the polystyrene peanuts, I found the ballast, some whisky boxes, one with an (empty) bottle even. Very pretty, but I never expected the last box to be...full! A beautiful, satin-lined box with a FULL bottle of The Dalmore King Alexander III !!!

It's the one on the right, the black box... the brown one is a bottle of The Dalmore Gran Reserva that I got for my birthday almost 2 years ago. The bottle itself is very pretty too, it has an embossed metal staghead attached to it and a cute black satin ribbon :) Of course I am not gonna open it yet, I'll wait for Dan to arrive so we can savour it together! And I am sure the bottle of Gran Reserva will be drunk too :p

But that wasn't the only thing in there... I also found the prettiest Betty Boop handbag and a (very american;) ) wallet in a box. I say  very american because it has a thingie for a cheque book and loads of space for cards, but hardly any space for cash money :') I took out the cheque book thing and rummaged everywhere for cards and managed to fill it up ;) Anyway, it's pretty as a picture and so I made one :

The Betty Boop logos are enameled metal, they're both different: the one on the bag is heartshaped and has rhinestones and the one on the wallet has Betty winking :D And of course all my stuff fits in it, Dan is a good judge of 'black holes';)

So I sat there with a stupid grin on my face...well he said it was a charming grin but he is such a flatterer ;) And that grin just wouldn't go away...as a matter of fact I think I am STILL smiling :)

Anyway, I have to go iron my dress and get ready to go to hospital for my last 'try out'.... 

Have a just as wonderful day as I am having ;) XOXOX
