Fun in the Mail

So, the New Year's cards are in the mail. (most of them)
I have been feeling pretty happy, so the envelopes are painted up a bit. I have not sent cards in a very long time. It sure was fun printing them...and writing them...and sending them. 
I love getting mail.

Before Christmas, I had found this little box with a heart in it and fell in love.
I have always loved the art that Patience Brewster makes. Her style and whimsy are 100% HER and I smile just thinking about it.
She and I have a mutual friend, Debbie, whom I finally met last month when she visited Santa Fe. After her visit, she sent me this incredible towel with a dachshund on it! I could not believe it. 
(my first "child" was a dachshund)
Apparently, Debbie told Patience about my dachsie thing and in the mail today I received this little box from Patience - 
with a dachshund in it!!!!!
I feel like a very lucky girl. I wish that I had taken a better photo, but can't you tell how magical it is?  Thanks to you, Patience, for sending this little treasure to me.
I LOVE it!!!

  4. Jone dear- my hand-painted card and envelope will be framed a.s.a.p. They are absolute treasures and the written message went straight to my heart dear friend! Did you make a stamp for the "bird in 2010 circle"? That will be another "Jone class" when I arrive on your studio doorstep! LOVE- Oolie
