They have arrived!

They came today!
I won a set of the most gorgeous peacock blue dishes from Bekah at Country Mouse a few weeks ago.
If you have not read Bekah, then run over there and check her out. She is hillarious. I am not sure if this girl is a gen X, Y, or Z, but she makes me laugh! You will love her. Oh and there is Jacko, the wonder dog, who might still be a little bit under the weather. Find out why, when you visit her blog.
She sent me a email, describing her difficulties convincing the post office that British Columbia actually existed. Apparently they had never heard of BC, Canada. Her post office was more than willing to send them to the British Virgin Isles, or Great Britan. But she persevered and today is my lucky day!
Thank you Bekah, you have been most generous in sending me these lovely dishes. I am looking forward to using them for my breakfast, my lunch, and my dinner, and my breakfast, and ........

    I think links are the last frontier for me. I have no idea why they just don't work.

  4. Those dishes should have been mine!!! Kidding aside - they are gorgeous, you lucky thing! How strange to think that the US doesn't realize that B.C. exists - I mean, you guys are neighbours and on the same continent!!

  5. There has to be some latent sibling rivalry between the two countries. Either that or it is big brother, treating younger brother [ that would be Canada ] like brothers do. LOL. We usually get along very well, except when we have to share...

  9. You've got to be kidding me... a post office that doesn't know BC exists?!?! What's wrong with some people?!?! Goodness!

    The dishes are just gorgeous. You are one lucky woman. I can imagine them being used as props for flower photos in the future.
