Pretty Things and All For Me
Yesterday the package with all my fancy rice products came. As always things you order online hardly ever look the way you expect them.
The stuffed piggy for example was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It’s cute anyway.
The lunch box and cooking bag on the other hand were somewhat smaller than I expected. But then I expected them to be smaller than I expected, so it wasn’t a big surprise. It was more like I couldn’t possibly imagine how big (or small) they’d be, so I was prepared for a surprise. The bigger surprise was that the lunchbox turned out to be round, not oval as I thought. I don’t know why I thought, I bet you might have even been able to figure that out from the webpage, but I don’t care for sizes as long as it’s pretty, so I didn’t pay a lot of attention.
Then the spoons were more or less like I thought they would be. If anything then they are prettier than I thought.
When I unpacked the cups the husband was all „Now what do you think we need those for?“. I honestly have no idea. The thing is they are A LOT smaller than I expected. they’re just teeny little plastic cups and I can’t imagine why we would want to use them at home. So this was basically what I told him: „I don’t know. I thought they were BIGGER.“ Well, they are going to be used a lot once we have kids, I guess. We might even need more then.
On the other hand, the cooling bag is big enough to hold food for two average grown-ups, the lunch box fits in nearly perfectly as do the cups. So it’s all perfect for when we are in France and want to take some lunch with us when we go hanging out at the lake. Or whatever it is we will be doing there in September.
Plus, it’s all so very pretty.
