Nostalgic for Newfoundland
About 7 or 8 years ago, Kristie and I got to have a holiday in Newfoundland/Labrador.  We were so taken with the place that for a few years after the fact, we kept ordering items from various online merchants to remind us of our time there.  For instance, we use to order Gooseberry Syrup, we ordered art, and now, here in NZ, we've just ordered (and received) new clothing.

While there we found a clothing store called Living Planet.  Both Kristie and I bought a couple t-shirts each.  Both of my shirts showed versions of old Newfoundland stamps: one of Cabot Tower and one of Newfoundland Cod.  Kristie's shirts both had cartoon fish motifs, one saying to be the biggest fish in your pond, and the other one without a caption.  These shirts have held up extremely well over the years, and we were pining for some shirts from this store again recently.  Luckily, Living Planet now have an online presence and we were able to order a couple new shirts.  I got a shirt with a replica of the Newfoundland moose road warning signs and Kristie got one with the Jellybean Houses and one with an owl (all three shirts are pictured above).  Kristie got two shirts to my one as payback for forgetting to meet her after work one day...not the only time this has happened.

We placed the order on Feburary 2nd and they arrived on February 28th.  It only took 20 days shipping from Newfoundland!  We've had things from Alberta that took well over twice that long!
