Postal Joy!

Anytime mail arrives with stamps like these...

 
...you are smitten and then grinnin' almost as if fun HERSELF had come knocking on your door. Seriously. That's how my world spins... I so enjoy little details like this...

Not long ago, Linda hosted a week long giveaway. One of the prizes that Patty won  was this delightful deck of playing cards. You can read about them here. Linda had some extra decks she was offering up to anyone interested.

 
Well, I was interested and my deck arrived today!!!

 
Linda had the cards wrapped so cute in some vintage crepe paper...and snuck in one of her adorable embroidered buttons she blogged about here.

But as I was opening the box, there was another complete surprise inside...

 
Linda's BFF, Virginia, included something FOR ME! Linda often features some of Virginia's beautiful handiwork on her blog {Virginia isn't a blogger}. It's quite evident that these two Texas  girls have a lot of fun together. Once, after seeing something very special Virginia made or did {or probably both!}  for Linda I left a comment asking how I could become Virginia's BFF too!

Well girls, I think I'm inching ever closer.....

 
Are these not the most adorable [wool felted] acorns you've ever seen?

 
And lookie at the little pouch they arrived in....the turquoise bead is being used as the button! Love it!

 Linda and Virginia, you are both dolls! Your little package added so much happy joy to my day!

I wish for heaps of blessings on you both...blessings as perty as this beautifully faded vintage crepe paper....

And just as a little added tidbit, Linda & Virginia both live in the same neighborhood where hubby and I lived over 25 years ago! [But we didn't know each other then.] It's a small world sometimes, isn't it?!

Xo, Sue

Well now, let me be the first to comment!! I am thrilled you were surprised and like your little acorns! I don't think I knew you lived in Kingwood - my goodness, we may have crossed paths at some point. I'm sure we must have mutual friends somewhere along the line.
Hope you have more "happy joy" days! VB

Hi Sue! I would say... YES! Those are the cutest little acorns ever! Thanks for coming for a visit and leaving your sweet comments. Maybe we should start a DORK bloggers club of America!!! All dorky girls stand up and be proud!!! LOL!
Have a wonderful weekend sweetie!

I'm just now seeing this.....was in Round Top last week...ya know. Obviously, we were supposed to be friends...we just kept missing each other. And..so you know...that is NOT vintage crepe paper...it's red crepe paper that I bleached! If you search crepe paper on my blog you'll find the post...I think. ????
