A Wonderful Week

Hello lovelies!
How's your week going? 

 Mine has been EPIC so far. So many good things have happened already, and it's only flippin' Wednesday! 

 First off, I discovered an alternative word for "diagonal" - catty-cornered. How brilliant is that?!

 Secondly, I'm spending two days of this week on a training course, and day one involved so much cake that I had to bring some of it home for Tom(!)

 Thirdly, my bestie sent me a link to this video. "Joey" climbing the ladder totally made my day. 

 I'd assumed today would peak when I finished work and got to put on my new socks. If you're thinking that sounds a bit sad, you've clearly never experience socks this cosy before. 


Anyway, cosy or not, I was fantastically wrong about the socks being the highlight of my day. I arrived home to find this mystery parcel waiting for me:


I was mentally revisiting recent online purchases to think of anything that might have such a beautiful, handwritten address, and came up with nothing. Then I unwrapped it and found this:


That's right. Ribbon AND glitter. By now, my heart was beating like I'd just run a marathon. Or so I assume, given that I have no idea what a post-exercise heartbeat feels like. Then I opened it and found THIS:


Freakin' UNICORNS people. Sadly, I can't share smells with you over the internet, but this box also smelt like vanilla cookies and MAGIC. Turns out it was this candle:


And I also found all of this inside:


While unwrapping the presents (accompanied by plenty of gleeful squealing) I kept searching for a card to reveal the mystery sender, but had no luck. It was only after discovering the diary contained a rather special date that I realised it was from my future sister in law:


I immediately sent her a totally non-hysterical text, to find out what I'd done to deserve a mystery box of such awesomeness. Then she told me to look under the lid...




EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! I am SO PSYCHED about this wedding. 


This week is seriously kicking ass.

      Isn't it just! I can't imagine anyone being able to say "no" after receiving such an incredible surprise (not that I wanted to, I hasten to add!) xxx

    Aw, weeping now, weeping... this post was better than Surprise Surprise.
    Most of all I'm impressed with your restraint from ripping the parcel apart and actually photographing every step of the way! You are a blogger to your very core! Bravo! xxx

      Haha - clearly I am! It was mostly because the packaging and wrapping was so pretty, I wanted to record it for posterity. My sister-in-law is a total pro at wrapping presents- I really should have guessed it was her earlier in the unwrapping process! xxx

    Ahhh, amazeballs! (I wouldn't usually use that sort of phrase but I think on this occasion it totes deserves it ;-) ) Years ago, when we asked my two bridesmaids we wrote the question on a slab of chocolate from Thorntons but that present box is in another league altogether! (and whenever the big day is, I hope we get to see some pictures of the dance floor domination) :-) xxx

      It's definitely an amazeballs-worthy occasion :) An edible invitation sounds pretty darn tasty too! The wedding is next summer, and I solemnly swear to share before and after photos of the dancefloor once I've torn it up :p xxx

    Your future sister in law is bloody bodacious, best asking ever. What's the unicorn garment? T-shirt? Bag? TELL ME.
    So glad you're having an awesome week, you had me at socks to be honest. I did a little skip last night when I realised that my favourites were clean and ready for this morning's dog walk. They're over the knee beauties.
