I love getting mail. And sending it. Especially in this age of email, Facebook, texts and Twitter, receiving something tangible in the mail feels even more like a gift. Related: it’s always fun to make tangible connections with those you meet on the Internet. And who couldn’t use a little extra sparkle in their days? So when I read about Kaileen Elise’s Sparkle Swap, I was in.
I put together a package to send off to Chelsea in Iowa, and about a week later, I got my own parcel in the mail, all the way from Sharni in Australia:
Delicious lemon-ginger tea, two literary pencils, fun postcards, sweet treats, a music mix, a pretty notepad, and other little bits of sparkle. Such fun.
Happy Love Thursday, friends. May you be the recipient of some unexpected (and sparkly) love today.
The fact that it was Thursday was my first bit of sparkle today. I’ve loved Thursdays for a long time now. They’re such a promising little weekday. This post adds to the sparkle as well.
Serenity: I like it! A promising little weekday. Lovely.
Katie, do you know postcrossing? You should check it out if not…
Yay, you got! I loved putting it all together, glad you liked it:) P.S I love your writing, especially the one about laundry xo
Great idea! I was just thinking about Clipper tea the other day actually. Glad you got some sparkle in your day.
Oh post, it is brilliant, isn’t it? And mystery parcels from across the world are the best sort of post! Next time you see a swap, please let me know … I always seem to find out about them too late to join in!
