It's like Christmas. DH and my faces are beaming, grinning from ear to ear as we excitedly open random boxes and rediscover our stuff. Our beautiful Japanese ceramic plates, wedding presents from dear friends, were the first to come out. We're really over eating off picnic plates like we have been for the last two months.
Out of those 43 boxes of stuff, 23 were destined for my workroom. 23 boxes filled with fabrics, papers, craft books, inspiring artwork, a desk and a sewing machine (not the one in the picture - that's the loaner from my mum I've been using while waiting for mine to arrive). 
23 boxes to help keep the homesickness for Japan at bay for a while. 23 boxes filled with things to help bring bits of Japan to life in Australia.
I've promised my doctor, my husband and friends that I will take it easy unpacking the boxes, a great excuse to slowly, lovingly revisit my stuff.PS. Notice a very preggie belly sticking out in the corner there!

OMG look at that belly! How super exciting to have all of your wordly possessions back. It's going to be just like christmas at your house!
Wow - that's pretty exciting! It looks like you have a lot more space in your new place. Enjoy the unpacking! I will be leaving Japan in the near future to go back to Melbourne. Would you be able to let me know the name of the shipping company you used. Tanyakeiji@hotmail.com

How exciting - no doubt it will feel more like home when you have all your treasures around you!
Oh how wonderful. It is like christmas and there are alot of boxes to 'unwrap'!!! Yep that is one very pregnant belly there. Gosh the time has flown past!
Yay! Happy unpacking!
Wow ... 43 boxes!! I just asked Mr HB how many boxes we had when we shifted from Canada. He reckons 10. Truth be told, I think it was about 23. You've got a lot of treasures there - how exciting! Take it easy unpacking.
Take it easy and enjoy the rediscovery! Wow that's one pregnant belly - isn't it exciting!
Your reaction to 40+ boxes is the complete opposite of what mine was when we moved. (But then, we didn't move to a completely different country) I mostly looked at the boxes and thought...Blech! Happy unpacking!
You look adorable with that belly sticking out of your t-shirt!
At last all your goodies-what fun unpacking them all! Love your tummy shot!
great belly shot!
looks like lots of fun involved in unpacking all those boxes (I like that kind of stuff)
