Surprise...

... packages are the best!
When I openend my mailbox last monday, I found this lovely package from Veerle from Nevousinstallezpas in there.
It was the box I wrapped the beads in she made at my craftparty so I was surprised to see it back. I loved the card with the poem that accompanied the box.

Een pakje met de post

Iemand heel ver hier vandaanheeft aan mij gedacht:
heeft iets in een doos gedaan ,
naar de post gebracht.

De doos is met de trein gegaan,
de trein ging door de nacht
en vanmorgen kwam het aan.
Wie had dat gedacht?

Willem Wilmink

Sorry, I can't translate it as it will loose a lot of it's charm in English.
I find poetry very hard to translate as my knowledge of the English language is not large enough to use words like poets do...

The package contained a lovely key holder made out of extraordinary crochet work and porcelain beads that she made at my craft party. The crochetting is done so fine and is just amazingly beautiful! I feel spoiled!
Thank you, Veerle! :)

That is such a wonderful surprise, I loved the necklace she made with the beads and this key holder is awesome too!
Wow, it is amazing!!!
What a lovely post Mitsy!
Zo'n leuk en mooi kado, dat is een heel mooi begin van de dag, zou ik zeggen!!!!
Dikke pluim voor de dame die dit mooie geschenk gemaakt heeft!!
Geniet ervan Mitsy!!!!!!
Oh, that's so beautiful! Not only the key holder, but the package as well!
Unfortunately I don't understand any word of this poetry... Who knows, someday I can learn it, eh?

Hugs,

Wat een geweldig mooi kado! Een prachtige herinnering aan een heel bijzondere dag.
do you all use that sign? "handmade in belgium"?
wat mooi en lief ! leuk gedicht ook; Ik vind alles van Willem Wimink mooi. By the way, it's Willem and not Willim :)
What a beautiful thought! Here's my (very loose) translation:

Someone far from here thought of me,
made me something special and placed it in a box
The box travelled by mail and overnight train
and reached me next morning
Who thought of me?
Lucky girl! The gift is precious :)
It is so beautiful!! Lucky you... but then good things do happen to good people :) Kx
erg mooi Mitsy!! moet ook nog eens met mijn spulletjes aan de slag.......
Those beads are stunning. I love the delicate crochet... I have a long way to go before I'm that good, but that's the kind of thing I'd love to make. Hope it's ok to save this picture to my inspiration folder!
I agree that you have received a marvelous gift. The porcelain beads and crocheted beads are "made for each other." The translation of the poetry in the prior comment also shows a beautiful sensistivity.

What a lovely site this is, full of inspiration. Best wishes.
Ohhh...so sweet and lovely from her side! And I'm agree with you - package is very important, it gives the first impression ..
It's one of the most beautiful key holders I have ever seen! Totally amazing!
Amazing! I love the combo between the ceramic and the crochet, how sweet of her!
