As some of you know, last month I took part in a secret mail exchange called Send Something Good. You can read about the project in this previous post. I wrapped my package in hand painted paper and sent it off to Texas. About a week later, a parcel arrived from St. Louis.
Now it's time for show and tell!
I was given Alisha as my secret blogger pal. I enjoyed perusing her blog to get a sense of her style and personality. I felt like a detective. Her outfit posts served as color inspiration for a scarf and friendship bracelets.
The package also contained little notebooks, Memoir Art cards, buttons, a sand dollar and tiny feather found in my yard.
It's was great getting to know you, Alisha!
I was so excited when a parcel arrived from Katie of Sheridan in the City. It was like Christmas morning! As soon as I opened the box, the heavenly scent of lavender came wafting out.
Each item was packaged with an adorable little tag.
Contents: Original painting, Katie's favorite book, flower magnets, gold earrings, buttons from her collection, recipes, bouquet of lavender, pretty papers, notebook, pom-pom garland and a lovely handwritten note
You can find Katie's paintings and handmade goods in her Etsy shop.
Thanks so much, Katie! You really hit the nail on the head. I love it all!
