mail happiness

This week two lovely things have arrived in our letterbox. Why is it that snail mail is so much more fabulous compared w. email?!


A few weeks ago I pulled a bit of secret squirrel power from within and sent Cam and Liz some of my great-nana's lino. I was super happy that they adored the goodies I posted... but imagine my face as I opened a mini surprise package to find this owl brooch - made from the very lino I gave Liz! In particular I adore the glossy beak :)




Vintage sheets from Ange's sheet swap, in an array of pastally goodness has made me completely motivated to get a start on a new quilt. Thank you Ange - you deserve a high 5! You should pop over and see the plethora of vintage sheets on her floor ready to be swapped and posted - I still cannot comprehend how she managed not to return the same sheets to swappers? impressive.

  1. How divine are those sheets!
    I so should have got my bum into gear and sent some.
    I am very excited to see all the gorgeous quilts popping up now.

  2. love that owl (and nice that great-nana's lino should get reused so beautifully!).
    Am working hard to manage my vintage sheet envy at the moment - looks like fun!
