Oh Wow Izy!!! That is a fantastic friend to send you a box like that! What a trip it took...I can just imagine how the suspense built up as you were waiting for that box! I know how worried I am every time I send one of the RR centers...on to the UK...I don't breath easily until I know they are there.

I still don't get how the PO couldn't hold that for you knowing that you had a PO box...but I guess if it wouldn't fit into your box...they thought they couldn't deliver it???? DUH :roll:

Well...have fun with your rummaging...I would have it spread everywhere!!!

so happy for both of you and the poor box...it left home, for a new one, and took a while getting there, glad all those fabrics had each other for company. :wink:

I think 'Terri/y' must be a code name for angel, as both my friends here on the board have been so generous :D :D :D

I have had another play in the box this evening :D

Quiltncrazy, our post office does the same, all parcels are kept in the back room. This is not a small po, its the main towns so has long opening hours too.....strange, but all's well in the end TG :wink:
