Sleepy Hollow, I was going to use the USPS padded flat rate for an international shipment and was quoted $59. Went and got my own padded envelope and it cost me $22.50 for 15 OZ.
When I travel the first thing on my list is to locate the local quilt shops. I collect fabric and unusual items. I also like to go to the antique shops. You never know what you might find. Went to an antique shop yesterday and found the box that holds the feet for a 221. You know the hex box that rows flat when opened. I think I got a great deal. $22.95. It even had all of the feet with it. YeaHah!
Red Stilettos, I am sure what ever you sent will be really appreciated. This must be you first time entering a swap.
