I've been meaning to post some mail goodies during the Valentine's week. Better late than never.
It might sound silly, but there is nothing quite like receiving a surprise package filled with amazing goodies from Canada by the lovely Koralee. The packaging alone is amazing, but opening the cupcake paper cups stickers covered, beautiful Canada stamp laden package to find such lovely treasures is indescribable.
Koralee is such a sweet lady. If you don't know her, you should drop by her blog and take a look around. I always enjoy her lovely posts, which happen to be full of beautiful photos and handmade treats.
The green tea and that adorable "Arts and crafts keep you sane" book pretty much sent me over the moon. Very dainty and pretty fantastic, wouldn't you say? I would.
More soon.
I'm off to make me a cup of organic hot lips.
Happy Sunday and wishing you a lovely merry week ahead.
Love to you and yours.
Wow..l I love happy mails too!!! What a lovely package you got!
Have a great day and enjoy your tea! :D
Hugs!

You must have been so thrilled! I recently had a very similar experience - a customer and friend bought me a book about crystals. I was so chuffed!

Oh wow this is so beautiful and inspiring, but that's how I always feel when I visit your blog!!! Thanks also for the link to Koralee.
Do you know what, at first I thought that the picture at the top was a new weekend bag!!! With stamps and labels in fabric sewn on to it!!!

Dearest sweet Kate, that is such an inspiring idea! Thanks so much for sharing what you first thought was on that first photo! Imagine that stamps and labels in fabric to make a weekend bag. I really LOVE that idea. :) I might give it a try. hehe YOU are always so inspiring sweet friend! Love to you!

Hooray for mail!! It IS so much fun to receive a package like this. Yours looks so delightful. Organic Hot Lips is such a fun name for a tea! Makes me plain, old English Breakfast sound pretty boring!
Hope your weekend has been lovely!!

Nothing like FUN mail, is there?! Such sweet treats... And love the name of that tea! ;o) Thanks so much for your lovely thoughts on my new art/creations, my friend... much appreciated. Happy Week ((LOVE & HUGS))

You are so right. In this day and age, real mail that you find in your real mailbox rather than your email inbox is the best thing ever. Great little treats you got there!

Jacqueline, you are just so incredibly sweet and so genuinely kind. Each time you pay me a visit, it feels like a gift has been left behind. Thank you. And I agree with you wholeheartedly. There's nothing like walking out to one's mailbox and finding a special package inside. And if the person is creative and artistic, they extend that to their packaging, which makes the gift even more special. I'm so glad Koralee treated you so sweetly. Your words and pictures are a reminder to me to be more attentive about giving those small gifts myself and to be better about letting my friends know I love them. Huge hugs from my heart to yours.
