    Great packages everyone.

    According to 'track and trace' my package is still on it's way and no delivery date known yet. pffff, it's 12 days now.
    And another package, that I send on the same day but without track and trace, hasn't arrived either. I'm getting nervous :-((
    My neighbour told me she had send a parcel to the US in januari and it took 9 weeks to arrive.
    Well, let's look on the bright side: it did arrive.
    There was an issue the year before last, I think, when no less than three parcels from wenot in the Netherlands went missing. I don't know if/when they turned up. Fingers crossed for you!

    I am still on that bench! At least the cherry trees are blooming and it is getting warmer!

    Hope you get your package soon! Cherry trees sound beautiful though, I have snow on the ground to look at again. It's starting to get a little old, so ready for warmer weather.

    ooh, that's just terrible.
    I did a search for her because I'ld like to know if they ever turned up, but she hasn't posted for 2 years. She did participate in several SP swaps, but I can imagine te fun is gone when the packages just disappear.
    I'm keeping all fingers crossed mine will arrive this week. So far from the 3 items send on the same day just one arrived!

    International mail is so tricky. Sometimes the packages seem to go on a slow boat to tour the world, and then a package makes it in under a week. I've been told it all depends on how quickly it gets through customs.

    Default I got it!

    I finally got my March package!
    I waited almost a month, but it was really worth it! I actually enjoyed the anticipation! Dya (fabric lover) from the Netherlands sent an amazing amount of stuff in a relatively small package. The many things just kind of folded themselves out! She sent beautiful fabrics, two books, Dutch-style coasters and tea bag caddies, ribbons, lace, intersesting tea (that I have never tried!), and lovely buttons for my bow-tuck bags.





    Thank you so much!

    I'm so glad it arrived , I was becoming a nervous wreck :-)) I like to exagerate, can you tell LOL.
    But all 3 items I've sent on the same day have arrived now, do I'm happy. And even more because you like it.
    Thank you Lori for organising this swap each month.
