Something came in the mail last week.
When I heard the doorbell around noon, I KNEW it was the mailmangirl.
My heart was beating faster when I saw the package she wanted me to sign for.
Kim from frogpondsrock is one of my very first blogger friends. She had told me she had sent off the “Skydancers” some time ago, but I had no idea how fast they would travel from beautiful Tasmania all the way to Belgium.
You see, Kim is a very talented ceramist in her part of the world, and when I won a giveaway at her blog she wanted me to be her inspiration. I told her to look up at the sky because Tasmanian skies are usually breathtakingly beautiful. And so she did.
She started taking more pictures and used them to make her design.
It took me a while to unwrap, I was so excited my fingers got nervous!
The package also included this lovely card with a typical Tasmanian landscape.
The scenery looks kind of familiar because of Kim’s pictures on her blog.
Everything was very well wrapped.
When I finished unwrapping I found the three most beautiful teacups in ceramic artwork I have ever seen.They’re beautiful!!
Can you see why she called them “dancers”?
I love how she even decorated the inside of the cups.
And how she signed them at the bottom.
Woohoo!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Kim, I’m so happy with them!

Wow sis! These are soooooo nice!

A very special gift indeed!
Big hug,
Your little sister
Oh Jientje,I am smiling so much I have tears in my eyes. I am just so happy that you like them. Thankyou for this lovely post you have made me very happy.
These are lovely. I really like the tall shape too, keeps your tea hot longer.
Your cups are a beautiful gift of artwork and so meaningful, since you helped inspire them, Jientje. You also made a work of art out of the unwrapping and taking photos of them. I love the fifth photo with all the bubbly bubble wrap!
The teacups are lovely - and so are the pictures. And so is the lady to whom they were sent.
Wow! Lucky you! The cups are beautiful. My favorite shot is the one of the inside of the cup and the card as a background.
I felt like I was there with you as you unwrapped your package! Thanks for making it so much fun! And... these tea cups are beautiful!
