Today's mail contains a charming postcard with a recipe for she-crab soup on the back, and a nice sketch next to my address on the back.
The other thing that arrived today was my May Beads of the Month order ("Oh, Shiny," the Big Magpie version): it was sitting on our mat this evening. I have no idea where that box has been for the past three months; the shipping label is dated 5/31/08, and while the address is somewhat faded (I think it got rained on), even if the name is murky, the street address, including apartment number, city, and state are clear. That combination is unique even if they can't make out the zip code (and the P.O. has generally been pretty good at looking up zip codes in the past). The package was missing long enough that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elisem had her faithful assistant send me a replacement package.
elisem, I owe you a bunch of beads; the replacement box that arrived a few days ago doesn't look much like the ones that just showed up. (My hunch is that what was sent as a replacement was a duplicate* set of June. They arrived just after I got home from Montreal and I just went "oh, good, I'll look at these later when there's daylight" and got distracted by life, work, catching up with the cat, and so on. Now I need to look at all my nice dichroic beads in daylight, which may take a few days.
*I did order and pay for June, so the confusion is entirely understandable.
