I arrived at the studio with a UPS failed delivery sticker on the door from yesterday (Monday). Which is odd, because our UPS guy knows we’re not open on Mondays.

So, a new UPS guy shows up. I sign for the package. And I thought maybe it was some jewelry that was back-ordered for the studio. However, I didn’t recognize the sender name or address. Hmm…

But wait, it’s all festive on the inside. Not the normal packing peanuts I’m used to.

Emblazoned on top of the box is a big “SWAROVSKI” logo.

Holy cow. What’s this about? I’ve never received anything so fancy looking before on the outside. This has to be a joke, right?

The box contains so much…

…shiny duckyness!

But why me? And who is this from?

Thank you so very much, Calvin! I am greatly honored and appreciative for both the wonderful comments about my blog, and the gorgeous ducky! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I owe you a great big, ginormous hug when we get to meet in person!
