I can't wait for everyone to start posting pics of their orders.
:starshower:

It is just as fun to see what others shopped for :popcorn:

It is like window shopping from your own home while relaxing :bathtime:

It gives you :idea: for the next sale!

I am sure some of those quick as a bunny vendors will have some parcels already at the customers door tomorrow :mail:

Post away :dance4:

I wonder if Danita has every emoticon memorized. Is the :mail: one new?? Haven't noticed that before. My first package (other than the soap from quaking canopy, which came Saturday!) should be from MSBS (tracking says Tuesday).

I go in stages, I have favorites of the week.

Usually it is this one
:faint:

Love this :bathtime: but I never get a good chance to use it.

LOVE this one :bliss:

I remembered this one tonight :toss:

This is my favorite, but I don't get to use it much either :angel4:

Well Danita, I'm sure going to grab some :popcorn: and hope I have :2cents: left at the end of it. I don't have SWS goodies yet (and won't for a while, but I do have my new lens:shocked5: that caused me to not participate as much in the SWS. Thank goodness for layaway:excited2: and awesome vendors! :loveshower:

Poor hubby and I are gonna be broke, and little fids will have to wait even longer for new cages :shrug3::tomatothrow: but I think in the end :bliss: everyone will be happy.

Here is a photo of my new lens:


I guess I should add that the photo wasn't taken by me, it was taken by the seller with a 28mm Tokina lens. :sad7: That's next on my wish list.

Amanda... what a gorgeous photo. Really. Its strange that I find a picture of a camera lens to be so beautiful, but it is.

I haven't gotten anything yet but I know my package from The Birdsafe Store should be here sometime this week as they ship quickly. My Avian Organics order will probably take a little longer because it is coming from Canada and every time it crosses the border it seems the U.S. postal companies take forever to get it across the country! It's like they know I've been waiting for it to enter the country and then they torture me.

Not sure about my other three orders as it was my first time ordering from those companies but I know my order from The Doodle Bird Shop won't take too long because we spoke about it. Since that purchase is alive I think it has to be shipped a certain way. Not sure how long Phoenix Foraging Rolls will take. It seems they make everything within a week of shipping and I can only imagine how busy they will be! I'm expecting my Quaking Canopy order to arrive some time this week because it seems that shipping is lightning fast.

But I am already planning out orders I meant to purchase during the Sidewalk Sale that I couldn't place. I figure even though the sale is over I still want them!

Nice lens! Really it is!;)

I expect Kathie's order very soon:) I got a lot of the usual food, but then some Higgins mixes and some shredding toys for Nani, Chopper and Apollo!

The rest will be coming in after that....OH my! So what will I do with all those boxes? And hubby is home all this week!!! As soon as he hears that alarm on the door he gets his butt off the sofa to see what is going on:eek: And I am slow moving carrying boxes on this scooter! lol

Will keep you posted!

This is one of my favorite parts of the SWS, after the shopping of course!

I love seeing what folks got and hearing how delighted
:yahoo:they are with their purchases. :elefant:


Living in LA in the boonies, my stuff takes a few days longer to arrive, so will join Amanda (MrsTweet) and have :popcorn: and enjoy looking at all the goodies :DancingChilli: :bliss:

I can however, have a long soak in the :bathtime: and enjoy the yummy samples :flowers: from Amanda (QuakingCanopy) while waiting for my order from her (and all the other goodies) to arrive :loveshower:

With the postal strike still going on here in Canada, I suspect the packages will take a little longer than usual to arrive. I can't wait to get my package from Crystal's Bird Toys ... I kinda went a little crazy with her buy 3 get 1 free deal :o:

I already got my Quaking Canopy loot. You can see it here: http://forums.avianavenue.com/marketplace/52681-thank-you-quaking-canopy.html

My order from My Safe Bird Store should be here today :dance4:
Since I have never ordered from Things for Wings in the past (except for what Kathie sells), I don't know how long they take. Since they are coming from Canada, I expect it to take a bit. :)
Danita ships from WA in the US on Tues, so it will not take as long as you would think - it cuts shipping time to me down here in the boonies by almost 5 business days :eek: because it no longer has to go through customs and sit for an extra day or so - it is fantastic that she makes this extra effort for her US customers!! :DancingChilli:

T4W drives into Washington every Tuesday to ship US orders directly through USPS. Braving being accosted by the latex-gloved homeland security folks so we can get stuff faster and cheaper! :cheer:

Kim...your order is being sent today. We put a rush on yours, as you mentioned your vacation & wanting the food for your bird-sitter. Look for an email later today, with your tracking information.
