Dear Secret Pal in Italy, I received your parcel this week. You sent it registered post (thank you, but you don't really need to, the Australian Post Office is very reliable, they just like to know what's in the parcel at the moment because of terrorism measures), so I had to wait 3 days before I had a morning free from work, because I had to pick it up at the post office.
But it was well worth the wait! Thank you so much for the lovely towel, even if you didn't embroider it yourself :-). Actually, there is lots of room left on the Aida band next to the duck, so I might add my own ducks to this one!!Next year... I love the pair of Italian bobbins, they are bigger than the English ones we use, but they are very elegant. Thank you, they will be great for my collection, and I do use them, from time to time. These will be good when I have a thick gimp to work, or a very long length of thread. I also like the thread. The more choice, the better! I'm putting it carefully in my thread box until I think of something. It's very exciting to think you will be in Adelaide!! I know we are not supposed to know who our secret pal is until November, but I do hope you will make yourself known to me!!!It would be terrible to know I have been to the same conference as my secret pal and didn't meet her!! I will arrive only on Wednesday evening, but I will be there until Sunday morning. Of course, if you come to Melbourne, you will let me know, won't you, and come and spend one or 2 nights with us if you can? Looking forward to meeting you in person, Your not secret pal, helene, the froggy from Melbourne Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
