I got up early-ish this morning. Good thing, too, because a courier van rolled up at the door and the driver handed me my BREAKFAST. LOOK WHAT MEGAN SENT ME!!!!!!!!!!!


(Doesn’t everyone open lolly packets with a rotary cutter??)
It’s a bit hard to talk with teeth glued together with pineapple flavoured chewy stuff, but I’ll try. These are Pineapple Lumps. I don’t know if you can get them in other countries or not, but I think of them as Kiwi Lollies. Part of a good Kiwi childhood is walking down to the dairy (corner store)to buy lollies (sweets/candy). And I always chose pineapple lumps. Even though they were 2 cents each and fruit tingles were five for 1 cent.
Oh, and there is FABRIC! Look at this gorgeous stuff! Even my non-sewing daughter noticed it and said, “Oh look - she chose fabric that looks like lollies!!” And pretty pretty red ribbon…

Thank you, beautiful Megan! That was a wonderful way to start the day ![]()

Isn’t that what rotary cutters are for…?
Lucky you couldn’t think of a nicer way to start the day - lollies and fabric!

You’re so welcome, it was just a little thing. Every Kiwi living in Oz needs reminders of home every once in a while, yes?
And I always bought the 20 cent mixed bag of lollies at the dairy, or the 50 cent bag if I could afford it, which was almost never. A 50 cent bag was too big really, anyway, even for me. That’s how old I am. Bugger, now I feel depressed.

my 20c would always go on cobbers - little fantail sort of lollies of chocolate covered caramel squares - or caramel kisses, the little cylindrical ones. Yum!
What a great pressie!

thanks for your comment on my post about moving. you’re funny!
another positive thing is that you clean out all the crap you collect that you really don’t need. I’ve lost well over 100 lbs (of stuff) this week and it has been wonderful
