Mailbox O' Love



My sweet friend V knows just how much I love mail. I especially love getting mail from her! This time she totally surprised me with two hand embroidered dish towels. Those little birds in purple and red make me grin each time I look at them. I was so giddy when I ripped open the envelope that I failed to notice the bite mark on the monster grow capsule package. My man squeeze (as I like to call him) pointed it out and we giggled with delight. Does V know us or what? Some of the grow capsules are missing because we simply could not wait for pics to be taken. I immediately opened the cupcake-themed chapsticks and smelled each one. My first loves of the pack were lemon, red velvet, and strawberry! Thanks for the mailbox o' love! xo

Treats In The Mail Pt. 1


I've recently started to do a mail swap with Mary Kelly of Lolly-tots. I got my first batch of treats a couple weeks ago but haven't had time to get to my blog. She sent me a box load of goods! There are some red envelopes (I love getting these in the mail), a can of beads that I love to twirl my fingers in, some stickers, felt, a handmade card, fabric, and buttons. My favorite items are the sticker and patch of fabric with her very own designs on them, a pink little nest with polka dot eggs, and the hand carved heart stamps. I can't decide where to put the black patch yet! Oh and if you look close in the pic below you can see where she drew on the box-so cute. Thanks Mary!

For Valentine's Day I Want...


A tiny love letter from the World's Smallest Postal Service! I am a bit obsessed with tiny, cute things. When you think about it we all share this obsession or we should. I've been in love with the WSPS for quite some time but haven't given in to the utterly squeal-worthy service. I even found a tiny mailbox in my hunt for cute mail pieces. My letter-loving heart is hoping for one of these goodies in the mail. xoxo

I'm Bewitched!



It's here! Finally Season 7 of Bewitched was released on DVD. My BF and I poured over the first six seasons and sighed with delight. It was a little heart breaking to wait for the release but it's worth it. Tonight we will have a date to watch an episode or two over turkey loaf and perhaps a glass of wine. xoxo

Crafty Victoria

I'm in love! My crafty, long time friend made me this tote to tote. Whenever I see a package with a return address that includes "Me" and the name of our itty bitty hometown, I squeal. I take pride in having such a friendship that allows me to send "junk" I enjoy and be loved for it. This time around I sent my little hodge podge, a tiny whisk keychain and a vintage typewriter key pin for her coat among other things. I feel my gift pales when compared to this sweet gem. Although the cupcake is my design I give her full credit for the embroidered, crafty goodness of it. What a thoughtful babe!


As a mini thank you I've posted another picture of the bag with my domo stuffies as we both love the nervous, gas-passing creature! xoxo
