Mail Treasure Hunts...

Today was a day of extreme mailbox fun!
This weekend we got a mysterious notification in our post office box. It seems the post office is recycling notification cards. The card in question had several black marker cross-outs and was not legible in the least. But it did tell us to go o the front desk to pick up our mail.

Thinking the package was official because it doesn't usually work quite this way, David got to the P.O. Box early and picked up this housewarming gift(!!!), given by Deb Lacativa. It is beautiful. My favorite part is how the backing barely shows on the front edge of the piece accentuating the red/fuchsia highlights in the central portion. Just scrumptious! The border is stitched in metallic thread and this photo does it no justice.
And the sweetest part? The letter was addressed to both of us.
Thank you Deb!!!

Then later in the day I went to the P.O. and picked up a package from the J-miester, which had a tiny letter, some great stuff and some... fantastic cookies. She'd confused me with someone who thought that recipe was too sweet. Wrong-o.
I wish I were gluttonous enough to eat the entire package in one sitting.

Then my Man picked me up from work after receiving a pair of binoculars he'd bought for our birding endeavors.

Lisa Chipetine suggested I read When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron. It is fantastic.

I feel the love!
