much love monday [mail and a kokeshi doll]




I love: getting mail from faraway friends!

I received a fantastic box of goodies in the mail today, which was kindly sent to me by the wonderful Gabbi from Felinofelice. She sent me a beautiful hand-painted Kokeshi doll, which I won through a giveaway on her blog. Along with the doll, Gabbi also very generously sent me so many lovely gifts, which includes a box of yummy Jelly Bellys (see the heart shaped speck?!) and a fortune-telling "book of names" (which was spot on when it came to mine). Thank you so much Gabbi!

    The hand painted kokeshi doll is so precious. I love that you found a little heart with all the other splatters on the jelly bellys. What a beautiful package.

    Hello, this is my first time participating. It took twice as long as I originally planned, because my home internet died. I submitted my title as "I ♥ Dumplings", but the link title showed up as "I ? Dumplings" oops.

    new here.... so cute! I am currently extremely obsessed with hearts (as in each of my nails has at least 5 sparkly hearts on it).
    your little metal birds and the color palette of the photo are so awesome. I love penpals/mail from around the world too
