Holy guacamole!

Today I hit the jackpot. Well, I guess it started last night when Sean's friend arrived from London bearing the gifts that I begged him to bring to me: Mini Eggs, Creme Eggs and Picnic bars. All Cadbury's. Yum. His girlfriend did the shopping and this is my haul, pretty awesome:

So far I've only eaten a small handful of Mini Eggs. The are larger than the ones that you can get in Canada and they come in more natural egg-like colours. As for flavour there didn't seem to be a perceptible difference from our Mini Eggs, but I think that a side-by-side taste-test comparison will have to be done.

I haven't eaten a Creme Egg yet, but I can't wait. I have no doubt it will be delicious. And I have a dozen of them to eat! If you're lucky maybe I will share.

I love Cadbury's and I especially love the Cadbury's range of Easter chocolates. I am a very lucky girl to have friends who will fly with their luggage bogged down by my silly requests. Thank-you!

The treats that arrived today came in two parcels. One of them, from Handle & Spout, contained the flower hairpins I ordered for my Maid of Honour outfit for my sister's upcoming wedding.

I couldn't be happier! I love them and I can't wait 'til the wedding so I can wear them. In fact, it's hard not to just pop them in my hair immediately.

But I won't. I'm going to save them, so that it will seem more special when I do actually where them out of the house. Also, I will actually do my hair nicely instead of quickly tying it up and shoving them in.

The second parcel came from Amazon, lovely Amazon. I ordered the new book by Heather B. Armstrong (I think most of you know who she is), a posthumously released compilation of Kurt Vonnegut's essays and short stories and a new copy of "Southpaw Grammar" by Morrissey, a CD that I inexplicably lost at some point during my undergrad. I still have the case and it makes me so sad that it's empty. Now I'm happy 'cos I can listen to it anytime. It's one of my favourite Morrissey albums, so it was about time that I replaced it. It has one of my favourite Moz songs, "Southpaw," on it. I've read the Vonnegut book, but I loved it so much that I bought it. And Heather's book, well, she's like the queen of blogging and how could I not support her!

Finally, I was out on a walk picking up some crafting supplies (I am not super crafty, but this project will be fairly straight-forward) and I happened across these lovely rolls of tissue paper at Urban Source for $2 each. I snapped up my favourite colours and patterns.

Let's be honest, I'm a sucker for pretty much anything that is leopard print. And that, friends, is the story of my hitting the jackpot.
