I was extremely lucky this week to finally receive a long awaited parcel. Maree was cleaning out her linen closet and sent me these lovely tablecloths and doilies three weeks ago.I thought that they had disappeared forever - swiped by the posties.
This was the third postage issue this month. A couple of weeks ago, I received all of my next door neighbours mail, and then last week I received mail for a completely different address (which was actually a Boulevard, when I live in a Street), so I really didn't hold out much hope for the missing parcel.
I'm so glad that it finally arrived so that I can start daydreaming about all of the crafty projects that I can experiment with!
Thankyou so much Maree.

Two parcels I posted last week have not yet arrived at their destinations, so your story gives me a glimmer of HOPE.
It's all a bit of a gamble relying on the old Australia Post...I get nervous every time I deposit my packages into the dark depths of the letter box!
i got almost the same parcel but 10x more from my nana this week. they are fun to experiment with :)
x happy days
Your Very Welcome...Glad you can use of them...
Enjoy.!
Wow that's crazy... Glad your mail turned up then!! I want to know what your going to do with your doilies girl... I have so many which were my grandmothers and they should be put to better use.

Divine! Can't wait to see what you're up to with them! :)
I always wanted to live in a 'boulevard' as it sounds SO posh but nono, I live in a street too! ;)
Gotta watch those posties...
glad they showed up, they are really nice :)
the postmen here are horrible! constantly loosing mail, crinkling mail and stealing it in some cases :/ the women at the post office are just as bad. attitude all the time like its our fault when need to mail something, that we are making them work
HI there Curlypops! Hope you are well. Sorry for the long comment here, I tried to email you but my gmail seems broken right now ...
... I've decided I want to help out the Sacred Heart Mission Dining Hall with some new aprons, using your marvellous tea-towel apron idea - they have vintage tea towel decorations inside the hall and I though it would work really well with their theme. So I wanted to say thank you for the idea firstly, and secondly, ask if there's a particular pattern you use for the apron shape, or if it's just something you do out of your head?!
Yay, thank you! (gmail still not working properly). I am already indebted to you for the creative idea. I was thinking I'd like to take a little pile along on my next volunteer day, which is around the end of August - about a month away. Hopefully that will be plenty of time to get support from people in the crafty community (not to mention making the actual aprons ....)
Glad they got there safe and sound:)
It IS a wonder you received it at all!
