Post: A love/hate relationship

Receiving a letter from a loved one or package in the post always gives me a warm feeling, considering the fact that the majority of the post I receieve are bills, the change is welcoming.

I recently won a Tulip Bag from The Wren Design, which was amazing. Wendren from The Wren Design posted my prize to me on the 27th June 2008, registered mail. After being sent from pillar to post by the South African Postal Service I received my package on Saturday 12 July 2008. I was so excited!

You can purchase a Tulip bag or one of her other designs at The Wren Etsy store, Wrendren is great! She followed up on the postage and provided a professional service, something I can unfortunately not say about our postal service.

The Tulip bag came beautifully wrapped, like a special present.

Here are some photos of my glorious Tulip Bag:

My favourite part of the Tulip Bag is the adorable button, Wendren creates the design on the buttons by hand, check out her process here…

I also love the secret pocket…

I have ordered another bag from The Wren for my sister, as I just love her bags. Although Wendren posted the bag on 1 July 2008, I am yet to receive it. I have a tracking number and customer service is determined that the package is at my local post office, my local post office is determined that they haven’t received it yet. I will be back at the post office tomorrow to see if they have located it yet.

Hence, my frustration and Love/Hate relationship with post…

* Thank you Wendren for your wonderful service, it is a rare gem in this day and age.
