#WednesdayWins - A Double Win Thanks to the Mail System and the Internet!
Hey there, fellow art enthusiasts! Today's #WednesdayWins is an extra special one, and I can't wait to share my excitement with you all! I am overflowing with gratitude for two modern marvels that have made my artistic dreams come true - the mail system and the incredible internet!
Amazing Technologies
Let me take you on a journey of how these amazing technologies united me with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Art Nouveau 24 Watercolour set, a treasure that now rests in my hot little hands, ready to inspire and delight.
Denise Love
It all started with a captivating YouTube artist, Denise Love, who effortlessly weaved magic with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour sets. The original 48 pan set and the Art Nouveau set bewitched me, and I knew I had to have them in my creative arsenal. Luckily, I managed to purchase the 48 pan set from Amazon, and I eagerly anticipated finding the Art Nouveau set to complete my collection.
Internet
However, as I scoured my regular art stores and Amazon, the Art Nouveau set eluded me. But instead of giving up, I turned to the boundless realm of the internet, the virtual treasure trove where dreams can come true. With a hopeful heart, I typed in those magical keywords, "Kuretake Gansai Tambi Art Nouveau watercolour set," and as if by fate, the heavens parted, and there it was - available at "Wet Paint" in St. Paul, Minnesota!
BUY!
Without a moment's hesitation, I clicked the order button, and despite the necessary international shipping (ouch!), the anticipation of holding this prized possession was simply too much to resist. But let me tell you, dear readers, the staff at Wet Paint were absolute champs! Their warm and accommodating service only added to the joy of this artistic conquest.
Waiting Game
And now, the moment I had been eagerly waiting for - a package, filled with creativity and care, embarked on a journey from St. Paul, Minnesota, all the way to my humble abode in a small town in Northern Alberta. The magic of the mail system worked wonders, and soon, it arrived at my doorstep, ready to be embraced and cherished.
Oops!
Sure, I must confess, there were moments of sheer excitement where I might have fumbled and occasionally dropped this precious set, but those little mishaps were nothing compared to the overwhelming sense of gratitude and happiness that filled my heart.
Connected
As I hold these watercolors in my hands, I am reminded of how connected our world has become, thanks to these modern miracles. The internet, with its infinite possibilities, connected me with a store miles away, and the trusty mail system bridged the distance with ease. It's truly a small world when passion and art unite us across borders and time zones.
Mail System and the Internet
So, my dear friends, let us celebrate this #WednesdayWins with a deep appreciation for the wonders of the mail system and the internet. May they continue to bring us together, fulfill our creative desires, and remind us that distance is no barrier to the joys we can share.
Immerse
Now, I'm off to immerse myself in these exquisite watercolors and let my imagination run wild. Until next time, keep embracing those wins, big and small, and let gratitude light up your days! Happy creating! 🎨✨
