I love getting post, and always have done.

I think it harks back to my childhood when getting post meant it was a birthday or Christmas present winging its way over from relatives in Ireland.

Even now I'm older, and my post mainly consists of junk mail or bills, I still look forward to the post man arriving at my door.

Some days fortunately the post does bring extra surprises, such as recently when a book appeared at my door, and today was one of those days.

My lovely friend, and very talented artist, Suzanne Golden posted me this gorgeous purse and I love it! How well does it go with my amazing lips necklace? it's arrival and colour have brightened my day and I look forward to using it soon.

Anyway, back to beading. That blue necklace won't finish itself- unfortunately.
