mail love: hello texas

As most of you know, I've been trying my hand out at mail swaps and care packages and I'm proud to share with you all my 2nd mail swap with the lovely Susannah from Austin, Texas! It was great getting to know her through emails and planning out our swap, which was vintage themed (I love everything vintage!)

She spoiled me with a bunch of american candies and lovely paper goods, thanks so much sweetie for swapping with me and I hope we'll do more in the future! Here's some photos and descriptions of the goodies she sent me! You can also check out this post of hers on her new blog to see photos of my care package to her :)

  Paper love - flyers, postcards, coasters, note cards

 Vintage matchboxes and a tiny box with figurines

A telephone book, notebook, pen and a hand-written letter

A bag of pretty beads, a handwritten recipe and a mix CD

Lots of yummy candy treats

A tin box, magnet, clips and soap

Thanks again Susannah!

mail love: sunny california

I've always been a great fan of mail swaps and care packages ever since I was introduced to it by a fellow blogger friend from Australia. Since then I decided to reach out and try to do more swaps with more people from all over! Here's the first one I've done for this blog from the beginning of the month with a lovely lass named Stephanie! 

It was such a joy swapping with someone from California since I grew up there and she made sure to include some candies that I haven't had in years! Thanks so much dear and I look forward to swapping with you again :) Here's some photos of the goodies she sent me! You can also check out this post of hers to see photos of what I sent her. 

 A beautiful hand-written letter

 I love little notebooks, and these two are just too adorable!

 This one had so many unique designs for every page, perfect for a paper junkie like me :)

A pretty blue box to hold pretty things in

A copy of InStyle that's hard to find in France

Three little fine tip pens, I've been using them so much

 I have had such cravings for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! I miss American candy so much

 

I love this gorgeous little paper weight heart

Such lovely packaging!

A necklace from her Etsy store. I love the bicycle pendant! I wish I could make necklaces like these too :)

And lastly, I love this porcelain jar with a little bird on top! Now it's holding my heart shaped sugar cubes

Thanks again dearie!
