Look what arrived

This being the first post of the year, I am totally elated. Any guesses?

The postman came knocking yesterday, with my most awaited parcel - yes, the January cottage came knocking

I am itching to start stitching. While I was ordering I also took advantage of the opportunity and ordered a long time wish I had - a sudberry house box

Isn't it a beauty. But this is how it is

Any idea if this is how it normally is? Or is the box damaged? Please please be kind and say that it's not damaged
On the stitchy front, I have only a teeny weeny progress on the seashells. Till my next post..
Take care..Be happy.. Keep stitching.. Au Revoir
