The other day I received the very pretty pacakge of Posy Press' Amy, which I am so behind posting about. I received the prettiest vintage paper and a very lovely collection of cards. I love the marine card, the thank you cards, the flower card... Well, I love them all! Thanks a lot, Amy. As I said before - I will NEVER send out boring or plain cards again, but only tasteful ones like Amy's! 

 

 

My mailman must be very curious... Who this girl is who keeps receiving the most gorgeous packages from abroad? Today, I received Shari's package. We did a paper swap together after I had seen the most beautiful papers on her blog... ;-) Like her, I love kind of "found" paper and graphic paper. And boy, what a great stack of paper I received! All kinds of graphic paper (including testing papers!), coin wrappers, grocerie sacks, stationary, bank envelopes, newspaper clippings, Hello Kitty notes, handmade paste papers, cards, and brochures of the great Dada-exhibition Shari posted earlier about... All the care she put into getting this great collection together. And how diverse the whole pack is.

Thank you so much, Shari - I love every single piece of it! 

I am just a very lucky person... Ellia of Green bean baby sent me this great package of fashion clippings (of all kind, including 70's ones!) I posted about a couple of days ago. It happened to be very grey the last few days, but when I came home from work and spotted some rays of sunlight, it was time to decently report about this great suprise! Thanks so much, Ellia! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week, I received a HUGE package from Canada. Trudi of Double Hapiness was the sweet sender of it, as part of the paper+ribbon swap, organized by Ellia. I must say, this package made my, well, week! First there was a handmade card (pretty!) of Trudi, then there were vintage ribbons, labels, stamps, vintage buttons and LOTS of paper (including the most delicate and pretty Japanese paper - that I already used a tiny bit of for my post a couple of days ago). But the grand finale was definitely for two books, she made (by hand) for me (see, there is an M on the pink one :-)) They are beautifully made and I think they will become my favorite babygift :-)

Thank you so much, Trudi! I love every single piece of it!
