Dear friend,
I got this package on our doorstep Saturday. So, so excited. This girl and I have started a box exchange, in which we send a wooden box back and forth to each other filled with little gifts, bits of inspiration, cobbled-together scrapbook pages, and handwritten letters in a journal documenting it all. It has already become one of the most precious traditions I know, sacred and sweet and magical. Real, tangible pieces of wonderfulness. Dear, sweet, wonderful, precious friend. So much richness in this life. (Not to mention...a Le Creuset pie bird!)
Love,
Rebekka

What a wonderful tradition. P.S. I loved that book, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
lovely idea and lovely package x
what a beautiful thing to do! i love getting a package, even if i know what's in it...but to find a surprise each time would be lovely! xoxo from muskoka...
What a beautiful idea! I love getting crafty, creative things in the mail, and I wish more people nowadays were into that.
lovely! wonderful idea and tradition :)
What a fun idea...so many possibilites and so much joy that can be shared!
Thank you, thank you! Been looking for a great replacement for my "Tuesdays Unwrapped" 5x7 handmade cards of all things that say you are loved, that I mailed to my daughter during her freshman year at college.
I will start this box exchange on her 21st birthday next month!
Where did you get this simple beautiful box?
What a beautiful tradition and lovely package. By the way, the book she included is one of my most favorite books ever. It's wonderful to read, but it's even better to listen to. I downloaded it from Audible.com and have listened to it many, many times. It still makes me laugh and cry and I dream of being as wonderful and witty and Juliet. So read it and then download it to listen to while you paint ... I think you'll fall in love with it.
I am a new reader and a huge fan of snail mail. This idea is glorious and I can just imagine how it must feel to open it up each time! Reminds me of childhood treasures.
This is the sweetest idea! I would love to do something like this with a faraway friend.
I just finished reading that book!!! It's SOOOOO good.
It's like modern day pen pals. How sweet! And not to mention, that pie bird is pretty cute ; )
What a wonderful idea! Definitely something I'd treasure.
This was such fun thing to do. I was as giddy about it as setting out gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve. High pitch giggles and all!
Indeed! This book is lovely.
This is a gorgeous tradition you've got going. Also, a beautiful blog. Just sayin'

Anthology gifts are my very favorite to give. I love the organic way in which they come together, sometimes uniting in a theme, sometimes just random thoughts. The tradition of a box is too lovely.
what a great, beautiful idea!
What a great idea!

I love this tradition!

What a lovely, fun, sentimental *insert all wonderful adjectives here* tradition to create! Oh this makes me want to adopt a similar ritual. Anything by mail is fear to my heart...I was born in the wrong era.

oh this is such a precious idea
love rosie flo books too
(and that pie bird)
This is such a lovely, great idea !
I love getting stuff in a mail and putting thought into a package, and knowing there's a box out there that is bound to come back in is just so cool !
This is the loveliest idea ever! Maybe you should set it up so that other people can join in?
I just got a package from a friend as well. A mug and herbal tea she made herself, and a peacock feather tucked into the letter-sheet. I know what you mean about it being sacred. It has colored my last few days the same stone-teal as the peacock feather.
Best, and looking forward to autumn photos (I miss foliage).
what is this craft book with drawings?
