Hello Rosanne Sorry I am a bit late, but wanted to say thanks a million for the really beautiful Purse and for the thoughtful way you packaged it with the penny and the cards. I am thrilled with the items and am so proud now of having the little Italian beaded purse which I will carefully use, and no doubt be the envy of many. Wish you a very happy New Year and a wonderful 2014.

Buying an item online and from overseas is not always smooth sailing, but you made it easy and stressfree! Let me know if there's a feedback thingy for Ruby Lane online, and I'll pop in a few good words for you.
P.S. Thank you too for the lovely card and sunflower pressie, very sweet and thoughtful!
