I don't know about you...

...but this card is very characteristic of many a messy weekend.

...and this just looks delicious. Have a messy one! :)

...tied up with strings, these are a few of my favourite things! Ok, so they're not quite brown paper packages tied up with strings, but here are a few adorable cards that come in wonderfully authentic and antique-feeling brown envelopes. There's something about a brown envelope that just adds that special something, you know? Well, maybe you don't, but I sure do! ;P

As always, sealed with love. xx

That Last Slice...

This is a belated birthday card to my friend, and yet again, it's all too true! Haha

The Only Way

I used to be obsessed with feel good YouTube videos, and now I remember why, and it was the genius of Edward Monkton who so aptly reminded me. Sigh.

Here are some feel-good YouTube videos as well. Make your heart swell with happiness. :)

Matt Harding, always a favourite. And...

Hope they make your insides glow with happiness!

Relatable?

We have all been in this little monkey's position. Don't lie, lol.

Cherry-ful

Hope your Monday was cherry-ful! Think lovely food thoughts to get you through the week. (Aka ... I miss spring break)

Sealed with love...

Anyone, anywhere can fire off an email, send a fax or post something on your facebook wall. It takes a grand total of two and a half seconds--some text, the click of a button, and you're done. Instant communication, lost in the abyss of cyberspace--hardly what you would call an expression of love. With the advent of internet, yes, it's tragic, but true--we have almost lost the beautiful permanence of letter writing. Sure, it's slower and it's more tedious than sending an e-card, but it's the effort involved that makes cards, letters, notes in the mail expressions of love; because in taking the time to choose your stationary, write your note, enclose a photo or magazine article, and deliver it to a mail box or post office--you've just proven the depth and beauty of snail mail. You've just told someone, through your actions alone, that you love them.

You love cards. I love cards. We all love cards.

It's a reciprocal business, sending cards, letters, postcards, packages, flying elephants (ok, probably not the flying elephants, but if you do happen to find one, you should drop me a line). And so card-sharing should be a reciprocal business, too! Send me cards, letters, cool stationery, tidbits of mail--anything wonderful and whimsical that goes or comes in the mail. Scan it, add a little blurb telling us what it's all about--why it's special, why it's cute, why you love it, why we should love it--send it (sadly via email: cooper22722@yahoo.ca) and I'll post it. With love, of course.
