Recently, I’ve really been blessed with some very sweet packages. On Wednesday I was lucky enough to receive two in one day!

The first was from my cousin Stacy. She sent me some coffee beans from Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Seattle, WA. She also sent me a picture of my little cousin Orion. Isn’t he the cutest?

The second package was from my wonderful boyfriend Scott. It included:

A package of thrifted embroidery yarn, a beautiful anchor necklace (we’ve had this since for matching anchors for as long as I can remember), a beautiful note that made me cry, and some pretty Japanese packing tape.

I have a few packages that I’m currently working on right now. I’ve found that putting together packages for friends is a lot of fun during the summer, as I travel a lot and see to stumble upon cute things here and there that I feel make the packages unique, and different from what they might be if I made them while solely at home.

Have you received any sweet packages lately? Are you currently working on one for a loved one, or friend?
