So you know my new friend, Erin? She is on a really proactive, blog Happiness Project at the moment that is really inspiring! I love what she's onto and when she mentioned the Pay It Forward blog collaboration, I really wanted to get involved. Unfortunately, due to being massively behind on my blog reading this week, I missed the chance to be part of her first three commenters, but I thought I'd go ahead and Pay It Forward anyway! Here's… Read more »

Something mysterious arrived in my letter box the other day. This super cute Pantone postcard: It was signed, Love Kate but had no return address. I know a few Kate's but had NO IDEA who this was. I put a call out on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and all I got in return was a sarcastic remark from my bestie that it was obviously 'from Kate'. Duh, hehe. Anyway, days passed until I was on Bloglovin' last night and saw… Read more »

It's been an online shopping frenzy in my household lately! The boy gets up early and I stay up late and, between us, we get ample guilt-free online shopping done. Here are some things that arrived in the mail for me over the last week or two from some really great online shops – watch out, you might get hooked too: These dresses from In Love With Fashion   A Bardot jumper from The Iconic (I love this shop and… Read more »

It has been a while since I've done one of these and, man, do I have some super duper mail love to share with you. This week my much anticipated Cambridge Satchel Company satchel arrived from Modcloth and I couldn't not show you. I have been lusting over this bag for SO LONG and when my grandma gave me money for my birthday, it went towards getting my hands on it. Finally, it's here!   I won a Golden Half… Read more »

This week my Dutchie finally arrived and we (read: Bailey) put it together. Now I just have to buy a helmet, bike pump, and lock so I can finally ride it!! A while back I won an Elliatt outfit from The Chronicles of Her blog and it just arrived. Unfortunately they were sold out of the pink top to match the skirt so I got to pick something from the Elliatt A/W 2012 collection, which was actually even better! My… Read more »

In The Mail is becoming a pretty regular feature around here. I think this is because A) I order WAY too much online and 2) I have wonderful friends and family who know how much I like getting sent things in the mail ;) I got a letter from my beautiful mum also containing a Pandora bead that I left behind in Brisbane and a cute pink ring that she decided to pass on to me. Score ;) A letter… Read more »

Yesterday marked the first day of National Letter Writing Week (apparently) in (I think) the USA and Canada. I have picked this up on numerous blogs and although I can't confirm that this is the same in Australia (otherwise it would, most likely be called International Letter Writing Week), I thought it seemed like a good enough motivator to send some letters (especially as we apparently don't have a National Letter Writing Week). I have mentioned on many occasions my… Read more »

    2012 got off to a bit of a shaky start and I'm finding it hard to believe that the first week of January is almost over! Everything happened so quickly that I didn't even get the chance to look at how I went in my Eight in Eight (eight goals to achieve in the last eight weeks of 2011) so I thought I'd do it now before I start working again and everything goes back to crazy town….

A couple of months ago, I discovered Gentri Lee's Package Pals and decided to join in. Gentri then paired all of us bloggers all up and we switched information so we could share where we live with our new 'package pal'. My package pal is Siri from Of Pumpkin Thieves and Buffalo Wings. She told me that she loves handmade things, very much wants to visit Australia, and that she collects magnets from around the world when she travels. This… Read more »
