Mailbox Pretties
I thought I'd to share with you a few pretty things I've gotten from the Mail Lady lately. There are so many Internet businesses out there offering such pretty & unique goods, it can be hard to resist!
When I saw this bag from Sis Boom, I was just in love with it. It's actually pretty large, which was a pleasant surprise since I usually carry around everything but the kitchen sink. Jennifer Paganelli's fabrics are so inspiring and fresh and fun. It's always a treat to visit her blog.
Here is a detail shot of the vintage dome style button she used for the closure. So pretty!
How sweet is this personalized stationery fom The Paper Princess? Leslie has the most adorable vintage-inspired paper goods in store. I've long admired them and finally placed an order.
All of these vintage paper goods are from Sepia Art Studio. Delila's shop is now open! It was such fun unwrapping all of her packages that she so delicately nestled in the box and tied up with ribbons. There is something very unique and authentic about Delila's art that I really admire.
And last but not least, I ordered some bath luxuries from Flavia Soaps & More! I'm a bath and body product junkie, and these are wonderful. The owner blends her products in fresh batches and packages them in glass bottles. The fig scent is just heavenly. Good stuff!
On a different note, over at One Hundred Wishes, the Silver Alphabet Dresdens are finally back in stock. I also got in 2 new colors of velvet ribbon, Fig and Cherry. Two new colors of seam binding were added as well, Licorice and Leaf Green. I've got a couple of brand new styles of ribbon and twine to list this coming week and so much more to do. For now, I'm glad it's almost Friday! There are more rooms to be painted this weekend, and some of our new bedroom furniture is being delivered. (yippee!) The upstairs of our house looks like a bomb went off in it. I can't wait until we finish these rooms. I know it will be worth the wait, but for now, it's a mess.
Bye friends. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Wow Andrea,
You sure got some great new things.
I love it all.

You know, Andrea. I was doing just fine today...did some grocery shopping....stopped by your house for a little visit....avoided places where I would spend a lot of money. Then before starting dinner I popped on your Blog and now my day is totally shot. I have hit those awesome online stores and my PayPal/Credit Card are smoking and my husband is going to be totally hacked at me. I know......I'll tell him I ordered stuff for you and put it on my cards so that George wouldn't find out and that you will pay me back next week. Just pay me back in cash and he'll never know! smile

LOVE that purse! I used to have a couch in black and pink large scale roses and I could have cried when we finally had to drag its threadbare self off to the dump :(
