From Russia With Love

Oh my goodness, I've let some time go by in between posts.  I could say that life happened, but then I'd be saying what everyone else says when they start slacking. The truth is that life happens everyday. Whenever I read a blog, go shopping, receive an unexpected invitation, get hit with bad news, or write a blog post, that's my life-happening. It may not be exciting, but it's my life. So really the only thing to say about not blogging is that I got lazy. Pure and simple. Maybe I was being entertained happily by the TV or spending too much time driving around listening to my latest audiobook. It doesn't matter. No excuses. I'm here now, and I'm writing. And now, I'm sharing all the love I have received in my mailbox over the past week or so. It's been good. This is my life happening. Enjoy!

 I'm going to start with a Postcrossing from Russia.

 

 

Oops! I think I may have put it in upside down.

Hello, Bewitched JarieLyn!

I like your smiling eyes!

You're so pretty!

My name is Helga, I'm from Russia.

I adore drawing & singing, I love to cook some yummy dishes, play the piano.

I'm not very [attentive] person, that is why you should now read this card upside down. :)

Sorry! Still I hope you like it. :)

I love to dream, love the night, the magic of the colorful nature.

I also love everything that deals with paranormal things, always did.

The truth is out there you know. :)

I love to go to the summer trade fair to find some wonderful crystals & stones and some Celtic medallions :)

I love cats, there was a time when in my house there were like dozen of various images, calendars and statuettes of these gorgeous creatures.

My classmates (I was 8 or 9 then) thought I worshiped them. :)

That was funny.

I've never liked dogs too much but now I do, :) especially husky, German Shepherd, & American Eskimo Spitz.

Though it is no matter, cause dogs, every single one are amazing with their joy & love.

Have a great day.

Helga.

 

Isn't that just the most wonderful note on a postcard that you've ever heard?

Well, it may not be wonderful to you but is sure is to me.

I received a tube package in Saturday's mail.

Inside the tube was this:

 

 

And this:

 

 

The glass straw is from Limner.

At first I wasn't sure if it was for decoration or for actual use in a drink.

I did not see the note she wrote until just a few minutes ago.

So, I now know that I am to drink my tea with the glass straw.

I'll do my best.

Thank you Limner, that was very sweet of you.

 

 

A nice letter form Kari.

 

I was definitely spoiled this week with great mail.
