Have a GREAT mail day!: Mail and Valentine`s

Hello dears! I`m sorry it took me this long to finish this post. I warn you, there is going to be a lot of pictures. And this post will soon be followed by a post with even more pictures. :D I have been very happy to receive the most amazing mail in the past week. Oh, love it!

And here we go ... First a very few of the many things i have sent. I have again forgotten to take pictures and some of the pictures are saved for another posts.

This is heading for Samantha via Swap-bot`s "Make me smile" profile based swap. Not going to tell what i sent just in case Samantha sees this.

These are for swap-bot too, ephemera and something else. I really should document these better, my memory has been very bad lately..

Some lovely mail! The lovely blue envelope in the front is from my new penpal Hudy in Singapore. I was very surprised to receive such a huge package instead of an envelope with a letter. So pleased to have Hudy as my new friend. :) The ones in the middle are via Postcrossing and brown envelope is via Swap-bot, paper destash i think from Macie in USA. (The documenting..? Yes, i will start it from NOW on.)

See! A library themed stamp. HOW NEAT!

From lovely Hudy. Amazing things. :)

Hudy also included this lovely Singapore magnet. I decided to start collecting these souvenir magnets since i had two Japanese already, or actually these belong to my daughter.

My brother went to Japan last year and had bought these for Anni.

From Japan via Postcrossing. I especially love the autumny one. My daughter adored the lizard and the tiny elephant envelopes. The book is mine, actually it belongs to the Oulu city library. It is A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. I enjoyed and hated the book at the same time. It is first book of a trilogy, definitely going to read the second book though. Third isn`t published yet.

All of this came from Macie. <3

(Don't know why this pic is this tiny, computers don't love me today.)

This is another paper destash swap via swap-bot. From Kelly in USA.

These lovelies i got. <3 Definitely inspiring.

Hugs for you all! <3

She had also included this map of the United States.

Nice. I love to receive maps of foreign places.

Anni recommended The Simple Things magazine for me. I bought two issues. :) The package is from fleamarket. It says something like "Box of discoveries". It cost me 1,50 euros. (That is about 2 dollars)

The "box" contained these. I have now so much stamps i need to organize them somehow..

Any ideas?

Also these came in this surprise box. Some old Finnish coins, a few foreign bills and some more stamps. :D

These are again via swap-bot. Green came from nearby, Sweden.

The lovely clown envelope is from USA.

Green envelope contained these lovelies, some red paper,
decorative tape and nice stickers. <3

This is what Amy from USA sent for ephemera swap. <3 It was supposed to contain 10 items, but as you can see i got plenty of extras. :) The red folder near the clown envelope is the one that inspired me to make origamis. :)

I have also received some packages. The upper one is from Jacoline via swap-bot and the one below is something i bought from Whachuneed etsy shop.

I got a bit worried as i saw this damage of the envelope,

luckily everything was well packed and the items were fine.

From Whachuneed I bought these beautifully wrapped scrap packs.

Whachuneed, pack one. Very nice. :)

Whachuneed pack two. I liked this too. :)

These charms are also from Whachuneed. I seem to need a lot of things.. :)

This AMAZING package came from Jacoline in the Netherlands for Valentine`s swap.

So many nice things! <3

I just loved these owls! They make me smile <3. I`m going to transform these into magnets so i can see these every day. Just so cute!

Jacoline also send this nice heart decoration. You can for example put your pretty postcards behind the hearts and make a little postcards display with this. I really love this too. :)

My daughter had drawn this for me for Valentine`s day. <3 I am in the middle and Anni is the smaller one. She knows my favourite color is red, as you can see in my shirt. And her favourite color is green. :) There is also a moomintroll with us. And a nice duckling.

She told we are going for a night swim here. :)
