Good things in little packages

Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement yesterday. I haven't had a chance to respond to all your comments, but I read and appreciate every single one of them. I am especially honored to get a link shoutout by the amazing Jane of Ill Seen, Ill Said.

This past month, I participated in the spring photo swap co-run by the lovely ladies of the sweet light and lucent imagery. I was paired up with Danielle Lemoyne and it was funny because I thought I recognized her name. Sure enough, we had once interacted over Etsy back in the summer of 2009. Small photo world.

I received Danielle's beautiful package (from France!) and had to share. It was so delicately put together with a gorgeous pink ribbon, paper cutouts of cherry blossoms and a seriously heartstring-tugging sweet note. Along with her lovely cherry blossom print, Danielle was kind enough to include cherry blossom-scented L'Occitane hand cream (love this brand) and a few packets of Japanese green tea "delicately evoking cherry blossom." (Yeah... no theme here, nope.) What a lucky partner I am, eh? :)

Enjoy your weekends!

  1. That is so sweet. I love when people put thought and care into simple details when mailing packages.

    I have always wanted to be part of a photo swap - we did them a lot in college in photo and printmaking classes, but there's just something about getting a package in the mail that feels so... GOOD. How did you hear about/get involved with yours? Sounds like fun.

    Also, I am pretty sure I tweeted at you about your new site but just to cover my tracks in case I didn't, the site really does look fab. You did a great job.
