Mail Order #1

Me love shopping, offline AND online. Two months ago, I bought Amy Butler’s Fabric Collection, Anna Maria’s Chocolate Lollipop, other designer’s fabrics and some crafty supplies. And all of these orders had arrived safely to my hand.

Amy Butler’s Midwest Collection from Little Cherubs Heirloom

I’m satisfied with the whole collection consists of 10.5 yards of fabric with 21 designs. Owh yeah, it’s overwhelming you know. Drooling over these gorgeous fabrics, I’m still thinking on how to use these for which craft project. Afraid that I’ll be wasting them.

Fabric type is lightweight cotton, suitable for quilts and craft projects like Ohimesan™, laptop sleeves, mini purse and checkbook cover.

For each yard, I spent MYR31.82 (according to the currency rate at the time of purchase) which is OK cause I usually buy fabrics max RM35 per meter and do note that 1 yard is less 3 inches than 1 meter.

Total : USD103.36 = MYR334.12
Shipping using Global Priority Mail Flat-rate Envelope : USD11
Shipped on : 29th April, 2008
Release from Custom : 5th May, 2008
Package Received : 8th May, 2008
Time frame : 10 days!

Yeay!
