Mail Time!

I just love when I receive lovely mail and today was one of those days. It's just reached 40 degrees outside and I think you could almost fry an egg on the pavement so I have been hibernating in the air conditioning all day putting the finishing touches on my big order. I ventured out for a moment to check the mail and was delighted to find that the mailman (poor guy in this heat) had delivered not one but two lovely hand written envelopes!

The first was from the the fabulous Julia Rose, a fabulous artist and all round delight who sent me an amazing package of fabric and lace that she no longer needed. I was like a little kid as I tore open the package and gasped at all the beautiful bits and pieces inside! I'm blown away by this wonderful and thoughtful gesture, I can't wait to make her a little thank you gift. I just love finding delightful people in the world.

The amazing fabric and lace I received which I'm already putting to good use.

My other little package was a lovely badge from Peach Patrol, a fabulous artist in Adelaide. We did a little trade of brooches and I'm so delighted I found her because her work is just adorable. She is just new to Etsy and she is a must to check out for delightful art. My little badge even with a little label with information all about the sweet girl who likes to gaze at the sky and bake cookies.

My lovely little badge...

Well I'm off to sew some more swivel bars, can't wait to package this order up and send it to it's new home. It's been so much fun creating so many little brooches, they are taking over the house.

Lots of brooches...

I get to take a little adventure tomorrow to take some photos of an amazing old suitcase filled with old letters and memorabilia from as early as the 1900's, before it goes to the War Museum. I'm so excited, can't wait to to capture some amazing moments from history.

Happy 'hot' Tuesday
