Since before Christmas I have been waiting for spindles I have ordered. I have been checking my mailbox every day, all excited at first and then grumpy and disappointed. I know that both the U.S. and Swedish postal services are really slow, so I was expecting it to take its time. But still, I have been very eager.<\/p>\n
The spindles I was waiting for was from Hershey Fiber Arts<\/a>, NiddyNoddy UK<\/a> and Neal Brand<\/a>. In November I had ordered a medieval spindle shaft from Hershey Fiber arts, but due to mutual misunderstandings it came without a notch. Caroline was very kind to replace it for me. The Neal Brand spindle was also a replacement. A dear spindle I had bought from him earlier had broken this summer in Austria and I was very sad about it. When I mailed Neal Brand to ask him how best to fix it, he kindly offered to send me a replacement. People are so kind! The NiddyNoddy spindles was a regular order \u2013 three medieval spindles with spiral notches.<\/p>\n So. Today I nearly jumped out of my chair when the doorbell rang loudly. It was the mail man and he had not one<\/strong>, but two<\/strong> spindle-shaped parcels in his hand. I was over the moon, thanked him and skipped inside. As I was fondling the parcels, the doorbell rang again. It was the mailman again. He had forgotten to deliver spindle-shaped parcel number three<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Here is a short clip from the unboxing. Oh, a mistake at 0:32. The correct fruit is pear.<\/p>\n
