In the post..

Remember the writing project organised by Lauriane from Yellow Cat a few months back? My penpal Anne-Flore and I loved it so much that we decided to carry on sending each other little parcels full of nice things every couple of months..
Here's a glimpse of what I sent her this week..

Writing project episode 3

A little bit of sunshine in my letterbox yesterday..

Lots of homemade cards and tags, some vintage wallpaper, notebooks, magnets, labels, photos, a vintage crocheted coaster, stamps and lots more, I've been spoiled and I LOVE it all! Gorgeous colours and carefully thought little details.. even the envelope was beautifully decorated with hand drawn flowers..
Thank you, thank you Anne-Flore, you've made my day. And thank you Lauriane for this wonderful idea, for spreading a little bit of love and creativity and for helping to recreate that I-can't-wait-for-my-letter-please-hurry-up-postman feeling I hadn't experienced in a long time! Can't wait for the next instalment!!

Writing project episode 2

My letter's been received so I can show you what I sent..

A notebook that I made into a gratitude journal by sticking my papercut design on the first page / a couple of postcards / a beautiful beautiful papercut calendar by Rob Ryan (this is the only thing I bought, all the rest already was in my stationery stash - I told you I was stationery mad!) / a piece of Liberty fabric

An envelope made from a page of Issue 13 of oh comely magazine / some more postcards / some cloud shaped post-it notes

Little alphabet cards cut from a sheet of wrapping paper / Fortnum and Mason teabags (cranberry's my favourite!) / a handmade tissue case / a pen

I think my penfriend's happy with my letter and I can't wait to receive hers! Please hurry up Mr Postman!

Writing project episode 1

Remember the writing project/exchange organised by Lauriane from Hey yellow cat that I mentioned here? Here was the brief:

English version: send a pretty envelope containing: postcard, bits of paper, photos, piece of fabric, stickers, badge, pens, poem, drawing, handwritten letter, cuttings, collages, surprises, notebook, calendar, bookmark, stamp, eraser, book, photo album, piece of string, confetti, poster, magazine.. etc..
The only constraint was that it had to fit into an envelope and go through the post as a letter - not a packet..

And here's a sneak peek of what I will be sending tomorrow - hopefully it will go through as a letter, maybe a large one..
 

More pics when my parcel's been received by my Belgian penfriend!

I have to say I got slightly carried away.. If there was a job making up pretty little bundles for people, buying stationery, wrapping it all up nicely etc.., it would be my dream job!!
I enjoyed preparing my surprise package so much that I'm quite sad it's over!
