Monday was King Kamehameha Day holiday for many in Hawaii (including me), and not only was it a relaxing day off, but I also got some of the best mail ever! Please excuse the overuse of exclamation points to follow.
I've been a fan of Tricia's work from the first time I visited her Frizzelstixs blog. Her work is chock full of the sweetest animal characters who are incredibly charming and fun. So when I saw that two of her paintings were available, I jumped leaped at the chance.
Hedgies!! Aren't they amazing?! And Tricia also included a hand carved snail stamp and some of her stickers! Thank you so much Tricia! I love it all so much!
It seems impossible that my mailman would bless me twice in one day but he also brought a package from Joyce as well!
The coolest monkey pouch, a beautiful tissue holder and Yoshimoto Nara goods!! Seriously, could there be a luckier duck than me? Thank you, thank you Joyce! And the day just kept on giving. Look at what my brother brought me, I mean Buddy, back from Iceland!
The only disappointment was that he told me there was an entire store devoted to Bjork. I would have loved something from there!
Sometimes I need to pinch myself because I just can't believe how many amazing artists and crafters I've had the priviledge of meeting since I started blogging. And to have actual things they've created to call my own is just icing on the cake. Thank you again Tricia and Joyce!
Wow! You *are* the leading lucky duck! Beautiful stuff you got in the mail, the hedgehog (?) paintings are so sweet!

I'm glad they arrived safely and you liked them up close. I'm so jealous that they get to live in Hawaii and I don't!!

I would love to go to Iceland. And I think I would spend a whole day in a store with everything Bjork.
