Long awaited goodies from Netherlands

I receive a surprise yesterday -- Erika's package from the Netherlands!

The package has gone through quite a journey. We had arranged the swap in December, and unfortunately Erika's package to me got returned to her in the Netherlands. Erika was so kind to mail it to me again, but by freight. Behold, the package arrived save and sound 6 months later!! :)

Erika sent a beautiful Dutch-themed package. Wonderful items included: handmade messenger bag, a banner made in the colors of the country, fabric, a ceramic figurine, an illustrated children's book, cards, and stickers. What a wonderful surprise. It's almost inspiring me to start up swapping again.

THANK YOU so much Erika. Your package brought me such joy. Warmest wishes on your new store-- I hope many people discover your lovely handmade items! :)
