good things come in threes

last week i was surprised by three packages in the mail. so so lucky. the line-up: goodies from the lovely soulemama. vintage tablecloth bag for me, disgustingly cute cardigan and hat for arlo, a book for e & c that has already been confiscated and not photographed, and some cute fabric and cards. love love love it all. i wish i would have snapped a pic of her wonderful wrapping, but alas, i was too excited. thank you amanda! next up, fabric leaf tags from molly and a birthday surprise, one of her beautiful handmade pendants! wow wow. i am wearing it today and let me tell you not only is it just gorgeous, but it also feels nice and heavy and my skin has warmed up the ceramic a bit. so organic and wonderful. thank you molly! and last but not least, a wonderful package from dear sweet cat. cat and i struck up a letter correspondence over a year ago and i just love getting cards from her because they are filled to the brim with her lovely print and stories of her day. she sent along this sweet rice bowl for arlo that mommy desperately wants to keep, a lovely hand made miniature book for me and this awesome vintage table cloth that i am going to turn into pillows for our new couch. perfect! oh and a sweet dick and jane sticker book that has also already been confiscated. thank you so much cat! i feel so lucky!

i am planning to get out some mail love to one of my favorite artists today. i hope she enjoys it. and thank you thank you for all the book suggestions. i have a list ready for my next trip to the library. and yes, whomever you are anonymous commenter, east of eden is my favorite book, hands down, and yes i plan to read it again and again.

ps. happy first official day of summer even though i have been celebrating for a while now!
