It's all kinda HipHipHooray and BooooSucks, at the same time....

 So, it is a Joyous occasion when we begin to get the decorations out and start to fill the house with Christmas Cheer. I am happy with our new Cherry Blossom Tree, utterly untraditional but the colour of those lights is spectacular.
 Tonight, i am mulling the wine and we are hanging the decorations (as we ran out of steam last night!)
 Loving Cath Kidston vintage Xmas designs this year - just dreamy :)

And then.......
the bad bits...........
I send out HUGE apologies to customers far and wide for delayed and lost packages.
There is simply nothing i can do.
I pride myself on 24hr postage and it is something i feel is really valued by my customers.
Many of you have been waiting weeks - some parcels have never arrived and i have had to send secondary parcels out. This isn't even restricted to my worldwide customers... it is UK too.
Shame on you UK Post Office Services.

So, i bite the bullet and order my treasured item via courier - paying extra for the privalige.
(see photo above)
No.
They decide to leave the item smashed in my porchway. Despite the heavy duty wrapping over it - the box it is in, and the huge sign on the outside saying "fragile - glass"

HipHipHooray and BooSucks.
What's a girl to do?

12 mins till the Post Office closes...

Rush, rush... 12 minutes to get down the road and into the Post Office before it closes.... It is a car journey, which is a shame for the environment but great for comfort and speed.
I need to get there as it's Saturday! If i don't do it before 12noon today, these parcels will sit in my Art Room for days...
I made it. Just.
They love me in there (!?) "see you Monday" they said - "Hope so" i replied.

Rush, rush.
Get home and pack my car FULL of bags for this event tomorrow. Are you local? In Northants? i will have all my stock at this fair tomorrow - my last fair of this Christmas season.
AND, as if i am not hectic enough, i am having a room at the Rural Market for THE CRAFT CAFE where children are invited to make Christmas Cards and paper decorations....
Am i mad? will i ever get a chance to sit down with a cosy blanket and a nice cuppa tea?
... i think i'm feeling old today (and stripey).
