I am.

I really am.

I was contemplating skipping a post today – I’ve been up since 4.30am, I’m tired, grumpy & feeling rather unproductive… but what was waiting for me when I opened the door to go & empty the vacuum cleaner….?!

Why, piles & piles of lovely vintage fabric all the way from the USA, of course!

Bethany ran a giveaway on her blog last month & lucky for me & unlucky for them, one of the winners never got back to her with an address & I was picked in the second chance draw – woohoo! There is nothing better to cheer up an exhausted, frazzled Vic on a dreary Monday morning!

My three favourites;

I also have to send out huge thanks to Claire for her super duper package – she spoilt us so much – not only did I receive a super funky red apron, but lots of other goodies too, including a Punky Pirate doll for… you guessed it, my very own Punky Pirate.

Then I got a lovely package wrapped up in brown paper from Kylie…. (including some fantastic yellow buttons…!!)

Annnnnnnnnd, just so you can feel fully justified in hating me, I got this sweet wee Nilla Nilla lip balm in the mail from Curious Oyster, it is ALL THAT, let me tell you. Made in Melbourne & adorned with a cheeky cheesecake pinup… oh how I love vintage pinups!

Gosh the blogosphere has been good to me so far! And don’t think I don’t appreciate it, and every little thing that happens to come my way in the mail, because I absolutely do! I feel ever so lucky but not only that, I feel very welcomed into this blogging community. It makes it all a little bit more real to be able to touch, wear or adore something I have only seen on a computer screen & to think that someone has had the generosity of heart to send it out to me.

I am slowly gearing up for my 150th post giveaway (since I totally missed the 100th….) & am going to make it a big one. It’s the least I can do, good bloggy karma & all….!
