HO,OWL

I was expecting a parcel from Spain. After many days, the waiting time turned into weeks. Within Europe, so much time? I was amazed...
Also the sender started to wonder where it would be.

Finally the parcel arrived, and the stamp on the box gave me the clue:



Sent to my country from Spain: via Canada!

Inside the box there was the most lovely Owlet: ho,owl!
He immediately joined me to enjoy my morning meal.



We know little ho,owl by his stories. Check the ho,owl website to learn more about this friendly Owl! And see ho,owl's instagram account for more adventures.

By the way, he had been sent to me because I had drawn him my favourite breakfast:



Thank you very much, ho,owl and Piter!

From Vizma B.? From Marie W.? From TongJianCheng!

An interesting parcel arrived in the Netherlands, all the way from China.
From an unknown sender!



Containing a present, which made me very Happy!
A beautiful fabric pen case, with a very friendly text, accompanied by two friendly vegetarian animals: the long-eared Rabbit, and the long-necked Giraffe.



Always 'in' for nice surprises. But also always too curious to know where my received mail comes from... Frustrating to not know that...

Wait... Look at my name above the address. How could the unknown sender know that I had a discussion about 'babbelaars' lately?



(About 'roomboterbabbelaars', even!) That could have been some Princess, or Peeee. Or accompanying Person.




Anyway, who-ever the generous sender is (Vizmaaaa!): Thank you very, very much!!

Beautiful stitched artistamp, showing a Naked Mole Rat! A real funny animal. Family of the Damaraland Mole Rat.

Virtuosily created by Angela Behrendt from Germany. And sent by myself!?? - according to the text on the paper :-)

Look how kind the Letter Center of Hannover (the Briefzentrum of Hannover, part of the German Mail) has been! Not only they paid the postage ('Entgelt bezahlt'), but also they added a beautiful cancellation stamp of the city of Hannover.



Herzlichen Dank, Angela!

Beautiful tiny composition of a butterfly on paper stitched on fabric stapled on cardboard.
Thank you very much, Kerosene!

I think it a sacrifice, or even: almost impossible, to cut in pieces and send away something dear. Kerosene did!
So I feel honoured. Thank you very much, Kerosene, for this very special - real embroidered - Tiger!
