I hope that shawl is not too bright and gaudy, but in Brazil I figured it would work. LOL! I'm glad to know that the box got there; I never trust the foreign post offices. Hope you didn't have to pay too much in customs!

I love it and it is beautiful! Thanks so much.
They did not charge anything at customs. God is good.

That's great. In Kenya, they charge as much or more for them to pick boxes up as it costs me to send them!!

There are times they charge here but lately we have had no trouble with geeting things from the post office. The laws here are very flexable and apply them when they want to!

Seriously? I just sent you a box. I hope they don't charge you to get it. Please let me know.

In Kenya, if the postal employee needs a bit of extra money that day, you will be charged whatever he needs and it goes in his pocket. Not sure how it works in other places though.
