what awesome days are made of...

i have incredible people in my life. fact. 

today i received the most wonderful package in the post. it took a long time to get to me, but the timing could not have been better {i needed this today of all days}. all the way from cold, wintery south africa came a "getting ready for winter love box" from my "other mom", whom i fondly call mama sunshine.

it includes a south african flag beanie and scarf, knitted winter socks {not just for me but for my cousin and her daughter}, a local magazine featuring the wedding of a south african to a royal {such a nice touch!} and of course the best chocolate in the whole world -- peppermint crisp, cadbury's and aero. oh yum! but the loveliest part was a letter and a hand made beaded bookmark for my bible.

here are some pics :)

wow, i am so loved.
