sweet relief


phew! despite many postal service issues over the past few months (for instance: something mailed in september arriving in november) the little swapletted package i sent actually arrived in nyc! fantastical! thanks amanda for stitching a bunch of us together through paper & handmades & postal services (such good things to combine). and thanks again to elissa for the lovelies.

(p.s. despite so much ironing, i couldn't get rid of those silly embroidery hoop lines. how does one make these disappear?!)

  1. aaaaah! i love it so much!

    And I totally didn't know about the mailing thing either till I moved here - it's so weird to address postcards c/o "James P. Young Dental Associates" and "Lerner Carpet Emporium." Kind of poetic, though.

    I once lived above (and had mail addressed to) the Virginia Equestrian and Steeplechase Society, which was quite exciting. :)

  2. that is fantastic. we have a teeny mailslot through which nothing fits--so usually, when something is "delivered" it actually means getting a bright red slip, waiting the required 48 hours, then picking it up from the post office. nothing so poetic as virginia equestrians!
