Great Mail

Oh, the mail's been good to me. Besides *all* of my holiday packages arriving on time (hooray! hooray!), fun little treats have been coming as well that I haven't had a chance to post about.

First up. Beauty from Nicole at Craftapalooza. I think I jumped on ordering this ring about 2.5 seconds after she posted it. I looove it. Looove it. Really, I do. It looks like she still has some for sale, but I'm not sure how that's possible.

Holiday cards from Rosa. You think I'm parting with any of these, though? Um, no. They're mine. All mine.

And this lovely pendant came from Jenny of Queenthings, on her Etsy shop. I've been watching her beautiful things appear there and waiting for just the right one. I love tree imagery (so much that I have it inked onto my skin. ha!), and knew this was the piece of hers I was waiting for. It's quite beautiful, and I can't decide between wearing it as a pendant, or actually "hanging" it as an itty bitty "frame" in a small corner of the house. Perhaps both.

And from New Zealand, Melissa of Quiet Cricket sent these wonderful goodies to us, after I oohed and aahed over her adorable booties she's been making. She was kind enough to send not just one, but two pair to Adelaide. The blue ones above, and the ones below. And she included some gorgeous fabric with New Zealand fabrics, and a book for the boys. All quite lovely and thoughtful. Thank you!!

Aren't they sweet? And cozy too!
