one of my favorite parts of the day is when the mailman comes. i hear him opening up our metal mailbox, and i literally hide and peek out the window to see when he's gone, then i sprint downstairs, praying i will get something good. today all i got was a student loan bill. not a good mail day. BUT! yesterday was a good one. postcard from rosanna, $20 cash (first time i've received cash in the mail), and one more thing that i forget. but it was good. promise.
and.
it will be a good mail day for about 7 or 8 people soon....
just sent out lots of wedding CD's and letters and surprises.
one of my favorite parts about my wedding biz biz is doing my own packaging....!
i find joy in making things simple and lovely with simple and lovely things like string and tape.

Just so you know, if I lived in your home I would be excited to raid your mail. In a not-super-awkward-and-intrusive way, but in a way that I'd want to be there when you opened all your fun packages because you get adorable things in the mail.

Packages are THE BEST. Especially when you don't know (or forget) they're coming. And thanks for the stationary store tips! I LOVE that tape. I've also seen a bunch of etsy stores that sell it.
