A very cheerful "Good Morning" in English from the post girl who usually has quite a down turned face. She brought me 67 lace bobbins that I bought from e-bay. Not that I will be able to start to learn yet but we have to be prepared to buy stash as and when we see it (or am I wrong).

Yes, but in the wrong country :-( :-)

The overdyed Soie d'Alger were delivered to my Mum's yesterday, and today or tomorrow she'll probably receive the Carrie's Thread cottons which I bought with my voucher :dance: .

Now all I have to do is wait until April 1st when she comes and visits again...

Oh CC that's such a shame -- did they say in the description that all the threads were silk? Because that wuld be misleading information and i think you have a right to your money back then, eBay would certainly want to know about a seller doing that

Sorry to hear that CC. Showing my age :oops: I can remember floss used to be referred to as 'silks', perhaps this is what has happened.

CC I am sorry you have not got what you expected, so disappointing. I have looked at these and they do say 100% pure silk, perhaps you should at least email the seller as surely that is wrong.

I'd definately Email the seller Cc and see what they have to say about it.


I had a wonderful post today. :wub:
Rosemary kindly sent me some lovely fabrics, some cardboard bobbins (which I really needed) and a keyring!
Thank you SO much Rosemary, it's wonderful of you. :hug:

I have finally received the book that Nettie sent to me. Fabric and Needlecraft project book. It's lovely, thank you, Nettie! :wub:
There was a note in the postbox when I got home today which said "parcel", I have to go and collect it at the post office tomorrow. I don't know what it can be - the only thing I am expecting is the ATC card - but surely it is not as big as a "parcel"? :o
