never new how much joy could fill a little mailbox.

dear mailman: you always make my day.
all good things come in the mail.
and this week our mailbox has been full of nothing but just that.
{good things, happy notes, and surprise packages.}
1. another sweet hello and happy letter from little brother.
he's happy and doing well. what a relief.
2. a st. patrick's day package from the leprechaun.
{also known as: the best mother in the world}
full of all things green:
shoes, shirts, treats, gold coins, a pair of earrings, letters, and a little bird vase.
3. a much anticipated package from fedex.
which carried a little gem from oc tanner in it.
{another pun intended}

we are happy over here when our mailbox surprises us.
we usually only get lots of adds, random mail and bills.
but this week was an exception to that rule.
and we are feeling loved.

and the biggest lesson learned from this:
i need to send mail more often.
even if its just a postcard or small little note saying hello.
why? because if it brings so much joy to me-
why not share that with those you love.
make someone's day and send them a quick note.
it only takes words and 41 pennies. 
you won't regret it.
and they will love you forever.

happy friday, dear friends. 
i'd love to send you a little love note in your mailbox.
email me your address!

  10. I know the feeling! Now that we've moved miles away, I LOVE receiving holiday packages from my mom (and I think she loves putting them together with little goodies). My brother turns 21 in April and I'm having a blast putting together a birthday package to surprise him with.
    Yay, snail mail! :)

  11. My hubby and I also live in a different state than our families do. We tend to get tons of junk mail so it really makes my heart smile when we get a little happy in our mailbox!

  17. I can definitely relate to everyone here; I love mail, but especially packages :).
    Fairivy.com took practically everyone's love for snail mail and made a business out of it. What a great idea.
