A CHRISTMAS PARCEL+ FRIDAY FEAST

Yesterday evening at 6 pm the door bell was ringing. That was quite unusual and Mr. Gattino asked me immediately "who is it ?" I told him that I am not yet able to look through the walls and the door. He sighed, grumbled and I heard him open the door. Then : "Are you expecting a parcel from the States ?" I looked at the big parcel and said "No" Ah he said you probably ordered something without knowing ! I told him that so far I had never ordered something on the net. The man from Taxi Post asked me to sign a paper and handed over this parcel to me.

I was really surprised, last time I had got a parcel I had to pick it up myself from the post office and now they have a special delivery service ! Snail mail in progress !



I looked at the sender and it was MELLI !! What a surprise !! I took a knife and worked on the parcel. Mr. Gattino asked me what was in it. I said that I don't have X-ray eyes yet. I cut and cut and cut and then came this :



I digged through and found a smaller parcel wrapped in bubble paper. I cut and cut and cut again and finally found a little parcel. Meanwhile Mr. Gattino was wondering if the parcel had been packed to play football with it (soccer) or if it should go around the world.



and finally I found these two little ceramic cats ! So beautiful and special, I couldn't believe that it was for me that somebody so far away had taken time to choose a present for me, had wrapped it so carefully and send it to me. I really was very touched. And then I thought I had to take pictures and to really point out the beauty of the cats I was looking for a white background. There was none in the whole house.



So I choose Arthur, he is white and anyway he doesn't care what I do when he sleeps. Even behind his back. Aren't they cute ?



and before I will find them a special place in my cat collection I put them on the mantel together with Santa.

Thank, you, thank you Melli !!

  4. What a wonderful gift from Melli. That is so nice of her to send you two cats for your collection. I was wondering for awhile if you got the box I'm waiting for. I ordered a box of special teas from Mo at the Wren's Nest and am so scared they won't be here in time to give some away for Christmas gifts... and drink some myself, haha.

  13. What?! you don't have xray vision?! I thought you were the superwoman! *giggles*

    They are fabulous! Very unique! How fantastic, very sweet of Melli!

    Arthur is making a perfect background for them... *giggles*

    I have noticed that on others blogs the URL-field has come back in the comment area for us with own domains other than Blogger - example in Mar's and Mellis blog.

    But not on your blog unfortunately. You must have some other setting than them.

    C'est vraiment sympa de la part de Melli! Et un cadeau de si loin! Bravo les bloggers! Ces petits chats sont adorables! Le fond (Arthur) est vraiment approprié pour les mettre en valeur!
