Pattie's vast collection of ephemera and stickers is something to awe at. So whenever I have received mail from her there has consistently been a thick bundle of old post cards, stickers, and illustrations. It is simply amazing.
The latest mail that I received from her was my favorite thus far.
The envelope was beautiful and was made from an old map along with a cut out of an illustration of a bird.Inside were multiple envelopes and packets all brimming with treasures to unfold.
The cute brown paper packet held a letter from Pattie inside. The letter was tied up with twine and the whole thing was dainty and a bit magical. I love the things Pattie talked about in this letter. We've been talking about traveling and how we like where we live. It was interesting that she mentioned about the different attitudes that she feels when she goes to different parts of Poland.

Among the many components of the parcel Pattie sent, was a simple small envelope with a bright orange sticker. I'm not sure why, but I really loved the simplicity of this envelope.
Inside the envelope was a barrage of stickers, illustration cut outs, stick on tags! There was also a little black paperclip with a smiley face on it holding all of the stickers together.
It was hard to find room to place all of the things that Pattie included and take a photo of it. I feel really thankful that she sent so many goodies my way.
Are there any things that have brought smiles to your daily lives? I'd love to hear from you guys!
