A Retro Post!!

One of my very early posts was about my lack of luck with Retro Kitchen Aprons cross stitch kit. You can read about it here. I had won myself this kit at a very good deal, but i was unlucky with the shipping. By God's grace, I was luckier with the seller though as she (truly an Angel) refunded the money.

That happened early this year. And then onwards, i have been checking in ebay diligently for a good deal. Either the bid was above my budget or the shipping rates were too high, every SINGLE time, so i was (m)uttering 'Pass' on each occasion. Each day, i do an ebay search for my wish list items. They keep changing, i know, but the first three searches are always the REGULAR ones!! And RKA was the first in my search.

As you know, for little over a fortnight now, i have been facing problems with Paypal. While i know i will not be able to buy these items, my daily 'search' regimen continued without fail. And then i see an auction (last Friday) for RKA *and* it is a US-only auction with a Buy It Now rate as well. I almost cry when i see US-only auctions. But this time round, i knew it was one and the same be it world-wide or US-only. I cannot PAY. Period. I then think (prolly for 10 seconds which is a shame), and then email my brother (in the US) about this auction and my current lack of luck with Paypal. And in the evening (of last Friday) i get the most sought-after email response of the day. He says done. Well he has typed 'Done dana done'!!! so you can apply your favourite tune to that:8)

The once-bitten-twice-shy sis waits for an email that says 'received'. Yes, i am in a relaxed and happy state as i type this post now, and thanks to my Dear Brother, i have another item in my stash, although still not in my hands:) Tra la la...

Thanks to all of you who take time to leave me comments, I love them. They are my stash too, thank you:)
