Loving The Mail

I know I have mentioned it before, but I'll do it again.

There is a LOT of kindness in the mail. 

It is truly the best.

My friend, Linda from Itsy Bits and Pieces sent me an email after she saw the playing cards used as business cards on a previous post.  Linda said she had some old cards and would send me some.

Well. Just that alone was the sweetest.

Yesterday, there was a box waiting for me by my front door. 

It had Linda's name on it. Why would she need a box to send old playing cards?

BECAUSE.

SHE IS THE NICEST PERSON AROUND.

BECAUSE.

When you send playing cards with OTHER fun stuff, you need a BOX!!!

I love this one-my dad used to have Springer Spaniels!

Aren't the cards the best? 

Then I found this:

Don't you love, love Bingo cards?

Brenna loved the little pieces of old rulers.

Gorgeous old lace, beautiful grey ribbon and an old key hole.

A sweet drawstring bag with creamy white buttons

AND

french flash cards.

I was beyond happy!!!

Beyond blessed!

I was sputtering while opening the box-

Whaat? Oh...What? Why...oooooooohhh!!!

And then.

THEN.

You should have heard her squeal when she opened this:

"Oh, mooom. It's so cute! And so tiny!  It's a little pin! Who sent this?"

(This is the best part.)

This is where I get to show Brenna Linda's picture from her blog and talk to B. about kindness and giving and getting to be extra thankful.

Thank you, my blog friend, for giving so much and teaching much, much more.
