Wow! Super fast! I was expecting a boring household supplies package in the mail today and was surprised to see that instead it was my super fast Colours gift!!!

I was excited and giggling when I opened the box to find an adorable, gorgeously boxed little salt and pepper shaker set in the shape of two peas in a pod. (I love corny jokes, by the way, so peas give yourself a pat on the back for the one in the gift note.)

Second, I pulled out a beautiful hardcover children's book all about green. You're right, the art is amazing and I love every page. My kids loved the book as well, although my daughter kept telling me that her favourite colours are pink and purple and there wasn't much of those colours in the book. ;) I've included a couple pictures of my favourite pages.

So, thanks very much Santa, you're pretty awesome!

Update! Yesterday, my husband walked through the door with an Amazon box decorated with bright orange stickers. They read "Caution Heavy" and when he grinned and told me it was for me, I was immediately intrigued. Obviously I rushed the box to the kitchen to grab a knife and open it. Inside was a gorgeous, cast iron teapot in the most wonderful colour. It's decorated with bamboo shoots and the handle is kept black. It really is pretty. I immediately brewed a pot of toasted rice green tea that was given to me as a present on my dad's last trip to Japan. This morning, I am sitting with a jasmine green tea and smiling at my new pot. Thank you, dear Santa, for a perfect exchange. I hope you are as spoiled by your Santa as you've made me feel. <3
