"Let's forget it, shall we?"

One Saturday evening after I came back home, I reached into my mailbox to find a parcel from the ever so lovely, Miranda. The surge of excitement and happiness that ran through me prompted me to immediately make a beeline to my room to open up the parcel. I couldn't wait to unravel the bundle of things that Miranda sent to discover the small treasures that she packaged for me. And boy, did she not disappoint.

Inside, the parcel was a little package wrapped in dainty pink tissue paper.

I love tissue paper wrapped things because the soft crinkling of the paper and the semi-sheer opacity of the paper gives off such a magical vibe to whatever is wrapped inside.

Underneath the tissue paper, was another layer of wrapping paper with an adorable pattern of houses.

Inside there were various ephemera. Of those was this wrapped little package. Miranda is so amazing at putting things together in a way that excites the soul. The old paper that was tinged green, the dainty lace wrapping around the package, and the quote; all beautiful. At first, I wasn't sure what would be hiding inside; soap? an eraser? a candle?

What was actually inside, was a beautiful wooden square that had baby's breath captured in resin. Absolutely gorgeous. These were also the other ephemera included, some old stamps, a vintage photo, a vintage playing card.

Also included, was a little booklet. The outside of the booklet was made from a page of an old book. There was a highlighted line on the outside which said, "Pain did curious things to him. It made him sensitive to the pain of others." I don't know how Miranda does it, but she finds the best quotes. 

Anyway, as you can see on the inside there was a feather and a little diagram of different birds. 

On the other side was a vellum pouch filled with dainty things.

 There was also a vintage transparency slide of a conifer.

As always, Miranda puts together the most breathtaking parcels. I'll have to scrounge around to put together something that can be close to how great her parcels are. But that has been the incoming mail these days.

School is about to start in a week, so I'm excited to have some semblance of an organized schedule (though I'll miss the days when I could play league for five hours straight and not have any consequences for it haha). But this beautiful parcel was a nice ode to the end of summer. Thank you Miranda! I will send you something soon!
