Just after lunch, I got a sheepish knock at my front door by my local mail carrier. He smiled as told me he was sorry for any delay there may have been, I replied that I had a feeling that the holiday mail volume must have been slowing them down. As he handed me the box, I noted that it had "Fra-gi-le" posted on the side "Huh, must be Italian", he nodded and wished me happy holidays as he turned to head back to his vehicle. I quickly ducked into the house to get out of the freezing rain an quickly grabbed my camera and snapped a few pics as I opened the package. I want to give Sandra Dee and big "Thank You" for not just a great package, but for putting together this awesome swap that we have grown to love over the years. She has done a great job taking this project over and keeping up with every swapper time after time. Now, onto the pics! Man, what a haul! Let's see, I got some bamboo forks, napkins, a canister of mermaid drink markers, decals, two groups of swizzle sticks from Smuggler's Cove and Forbidden Island, a hula girl duster, a mug created by Drew for TikiFarm, A vintage Trader Vic's ashtray (been looking for one!!), a magnet, and a holiday drink book topped with a vintage Santa (I'm sure will get filled up by New Year's eve!). Thank you very much Sandra Dee, you asked in you note if I was naughty or nice, I was most defiantly nice! I look forward to the next swap (in the spring?)! Mohallo!!
