My Arbitrary Day Plus Santa not only knew I like art, but also guessed the colours of my sofa and co-ordinated this lovely throw pillow beautifully! I absolutely love it. It's titled "A Cartesian Dream" by Julien Staheli. (It has a sister pillow by Miro on another chair in my living room...)

It arrived just in time today as it was the last mail delivery before I go overseas for two weeks. There is another package to come and I will definitely update here when it arrives.

Thank you so much!

My daughter says the second package arrived! I asked her not to open it. I will be home from Thailand on July 30 and will post a picture then!

Update: Just got back from Thailand/Singapore this morning and opened my second gift! It is fabulous! I was hoping to get a cookbook during this exchange and I did. It is perfect for me as I often just cook for me and one of my kids, who tease me that I always cook way too much every time. Thank you again! PS I am in the middle of uploading hundreds of trip pix from my camera to my computer right now, so the attached pic of the book cover is from the net.
