Our Poppy Has Arrived

[boxtops]

Our poppy arrived on Friday. It's beautiful. Just a word of caution - I hadn't realised that the box it arrived in is actually part of its display - photos etc are printed inside the box. Open with great care!

Thanks for the tip Boxie, I'm so looking forward to receiving ours.

What do you plan to do with yours?

[MargoTester]

Mine came yesterday boxtops - much bigger and heavier than I thought. Did you manage to put you'd together ok, mine is very lose

[mikey4444]

Is it possible that one of you could take a photograph and post it on AB for us all to see ?

[Baldric]

Good tip, thanks Boxy!

[Canary42]

How can I get one ?

[MargoTester]

I am utterly useless at that sort of thing - I'll see if I can get my son to do it

Bit late Canary, all sold out.

I got my two on Friday also. Very speedy delivery.
I felt quite emotional when I held the first one in my hand and remembered its significance.

[Psybbo]

Like me, Canary, too late

[paddywak]

Trish doesn't know it but I've bought one for her,she's commented several times that she'd have liked one if she'd know earlier they were for sale,Ive just played dumb but I hope it arrives before Christmas.

[Psybbo]

Well done, Paddy

[Bbbananas]

I've done the same for my boyfriend Paddy. He is a typical last minute dot com guy - peeved with himself that he was too late and no idea I ordered us two last August x

[kylesmum]

I so wish i'd been quick enough to order one. Such a precious symbol to treasure.

We have taken the photo but can't work out how to upload it any tips. Photo on iPad and I use iPad for ab! Help

[corylus]

I requested another after my original purchase and am now on a waiting list for a second poppy. NB They must surely have spares in hand for any damaged in removal, packaging and despatch.

We haven't even tried to construct ours - we are keeping it safely in the box with all its bits and pieces for the time being. We felt emotional too, when we held the flower in our hands....

Ours came via Yahoo, only two days after I was emailed to say that it had been picked.

[boxtops]

Corylus - they can't be selling them all anyway, parts of the display is remaining for a while before going on tour, then some will be permanently at the Imperial War Museums....

[corylus]

They are obliged to sell the ones that have been paid for in advance.

[boxtops]

Yes, of course.

Margo, go to tiny pics, it's really easy to use (I use it on an iPad).
