It's been rainy and dreary around here with thunder and lightning storms and flash flood warnings. So there's nothing better than to come home after a long, wet commute to a lovely package waiting for you.
I was fortunate enough to win a birthday contest that Jan over at Be*mused had a couple weeks back and look at what she sent!
The sweetest little papier mache tanuki, some delicious Sakura flavored KitKats, an adorable piggie postcard and lovely lovely hedgehog fabric with my favorite white polka dotted red mushrooms! Thank you Jan!!
And here's some other mail goodness that I've received lately. These amazing postcards of Christina's prints. I was first introduced to Christina when Loobylu did a post about her fantastic Blythe outfits. Which led me to her incredible artwork and dolls. So when she offered postcards of her prints, I had to snatch some up. My favorite of course is the one of the girl in red with the black Mochi cat.
I also couldn't resist ordering one of Anna's lovely bird prints. She also has a gorgeous blog and makes the most beautiful things.
Lastly, I've been listening to Rilo Kiley a lot lately on my soggy commute home. So I was excited to discover that Rabbit Fur Coat, the new album from Jenny Lewis, is available for free and legal download here (the site is sometimes slow to load).
So excited about the Jenny Lewis music. Loved her interview on NPR... and your happy mail post was the perfect pick me up to a grey day! Thank you.

What wonderful mail love! That Tanuki is so cute and sakura flavored Kit-Kat?! Who knew?! So cool! I especially love the prints you received. My sister is finishing her BFA in printmaking, so I've really come to appreciate all the work that goes into creating prints. That mochi cat is too cute! Take care, Myra! :-)

I absolutely love the hedgehog fabric! And it's in green - my fav. My girlfriend Val sent me the postcard with the two girls fighting over the little black kitty. She said it reminded her of my two girls. I love it!

Oh, Christina! I just adore her. I'm lucky enough to have the flamenco blythe outfit, myself. I just love everything that she does and am glad to see you post her here. She deserves all the publicity in the world!

Wow. Thanks for telling us about this website. I wonder if I'll be able to walk away from the computer and actually DO something.
