cute finds #2

Yesterday was an unexpected stationery-shopping day. I was planning to save money this month but so far I've incredibly failed.
Anyway, walking home from Uni, we stopped in one of my favourite shops and I found myself surrounded by a lot of awesome stationery supplies. For the above mentioned reason, I've only (but not really) bought three thingies.

"Sukie Box of Labels" by chronicle books and a two designs memo pad by Midori.

Not that I've counted them, but the Sukie box contains over 100 labels and various stickers. It's a good thing you can't see me right now because I'm almost drooling.

I've also bought this gorgeous booklet of postcards by Ana Juan:

Her illustrations are so fascinating and most of them are black and white, lush! Some of her characters reminds me of Tweedledum & Tweedledee of Alice in Wonderland (the one by Tim Burton), with the big round head and all, ahah. I'll be keeping some of them for myself, but the rest will be used for my various postal activities :)

Illustrations & freebies

Hello everyone, how is it going?
My life is boring as usual :D and even though I should spend my days with my nose in my Uni books, I end up doing random stuff at the computer.
This past weekend was pretty (un)productive, and I made a set of 6 notes -

that I'll be using for my snail mail, journaling etc and decided to put a free download link. If guys like them I will post more stuff every once in a while, so let me know! :)

lettermo april week #3

Hello you guys, three posts in raw this week, that's not really my thing! :D
As the title says, week 3 of the lettermo is completed. Unfortunately I haven't been at home until today so I didn't have the chance to take pictures of the letter I sent. From monday to today, they were for: Roxana, Nicola, Katrina, Mette, and my reply to Mary.

This week I've been quite busy with Uni and studying, but today we took a day off, and especially at night, I had the time to work on a few things such as keeping up with the letter requests, drawing a bit and experimenting with crafts!

Today, we went at the mall for some spring/summer clothing shopping, even if the weather here is being terrible lately. Surprisingly, I bought quite a few things and I found myself liking the pale mint color a lot.. maybe too much. (This is weird because I mostly wear only black/gray/white things..so)
We also had the chance to finally buy some macarons again! They're a little bit pricy but so worthy.

I bought 8 macarons in total, in four different flavors: pistachio, raspberry, violet and, dark chocolate.

Send Something Good

A few weeks ago, I joined this amazing project promoted by three wonderful bloggers: Gentri Lee, kaitlyn and Kristy.
Basically, you're assigned a blogger in secret and you've got to get to know them and then prepare a package of things your secret blogger might like. Surprises + snail mail = awesome project, and I couldn't just sit at the computer and pass up this opportunity, could I?
I've already received the link to the blog of my secret partner, and I've already a few things in mind :) I'll take this weekend to arrange something cute to send her.
If you want to see the other bloggers involved in this project, click on the link below! As for me, I made this post so that the blogger to whom I was assigned would have had the chance to know something about what I'd like to receive; I don't really have preferences, I would be happy with anything, really :) Though, if you want to get a better idea of my likes/dislikes, you might want to check my swap-bot profile here.
Oh, this is so exciting. Can't wait for the reveal/link up day!! :D

Alice in my mailbox

Hello everyone! How is your day going?
Mine just turned out very good, since I found some pretty letters in mailbox!

This lovely letter, is from my new american pen pal, Mary from California.
She has such a neat handwriting, I'm really jealous of it! Her letter also conteined a pretty heart shaped origami and an ex libris sticker, so nice!
