I got this uber kitchy Korean card from Samantha, who searched far and wide for it in Toronto. Wrapped in teeny shimmery paper was this “fighting” stamp. I can’t wait to use it on outgoing mail and postcards. It’s very small but oh-so-cute! It means good luck or you can do it!!

Renate from Germany sent best wishes with this card, which reads “birthday”. I learned something new today. Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes. I love you all! 🙂

I participated in “Lovely Letters” snail mail exchange and received this great pack from Jessica.
A weekly planner pad, notecards, a nail file and sunny nail polish (perfect for July).
I was excited to get this package in the mail and it felt like my birthday as I unwrapped it.
