From Hawaii via Victoria

It's so exciting to receive a package in the mail ...



this one arrived from Victoria, BC
beautifully wrapped and filled with Hawaiian chocolate,
Murchie's Hot Chocolate and Tea,
chocolate from Roger's (that I immediately regretted sharing with the farmer),
a beautiful Valentine scarf,
a Victoria Sketchbook by Robert Amos from Munro's Book Shop
and a card by the same artist that was hand written by a special blog friend
from Pondside.

If you have never visited this blog - you must!
She writes beautifully and from the heart.

I was picked as the winner of these treats on one of Pondside's
(a someday destination we wish to visit).



So, on this beautiful frosty February morning I am enjoying
a cuppa hot chocolate and the last few of those delicious Hawaiian treats!


Thank you so much for picking me Pondside - what a wonderful surprise!

We are enjoying the sketchbook of Victoria
 and reminiscing about the places we have visited there.
One of the most beautiful places in our country!




Till next time - dreaming of Hawaii .....

  6. What a nice gift from your thoughtful friend! I will check out her blog. We've been warm the past few days, but there's snow in the forecast again :(

  8. How fun!! I love to get packages in the mail - it's getting rare these days! You have quite a bit more snow than we do this year - such a change from last year. we've been getting rainy days and most of our snow is washed away. Not so great for snow-shoeing - my newest past-time. But I'm not complaining!
