Christmas in April!

Nothing as perfectly lovely as getting a gift when you LEAST expect it! And that's exactly what happened yesterday while I was watching The Royal Wedding, captivated by the magnificent simplicity of it all. The gate bell rang and I cursed whoever it was bothering my TV moment.....a few minutes this package was delivered to me. 

I was confounded. Could not for the life of me figure out who it could be from. Neither the "from" address nor the cell number on the box looked familiar. I looked at it...suspiciously at first (maybe I had offended someone with my blunt irreverent blogging style and they had decided to shut me up once and for all???) but then after more close scrutiny I figured it should be quite safe to open it. 

And as I did I got more and more excited. The way the items were packed, bubble wrapped and taped ferociously I knew it was some terracotta thing. And you know me and my love affair with terracotta....

And then glimpses of red earth and elephant ears of clay popped up.

And then these 4 Ganeshas in yoga poses. I mean, how cute is that? Terracotta, Ganeshas and Yoga...??? Three things that make me happy!

So here they rest, in happy repose with other terracotta items above my desk

I had to call the number on the package and find out who it was, and I was told by the man on the other end it had been sent to me by a fellow blogger in the US (for something I had sent her earlier). For privacy sake I won't reveal the name, but you know who you are....so thank you, thank you, thank you.
