| gifts from sweet sara |
each time when i open the mailbox & find a beautifully wrapped package inside, i am thankful for this little community. "happy mail" - as we call it - is the simple act of sending a package to someone, perhaps you've never met, just because. these women - blog readers, instafriends, old friends, people i swear we would be best friends if we lived closer - brighten my day with their sweet generosity & handmade goodness.
each happy mail package is incredibly well-crafted & created to fit the unique personality of it's recipient. i love taking the time to find items at thrift shops & flea markets & making things that these dear friends would love. it's just because so really, there's no pressure. it's simply about bringing a bit of happy to another's day!
below are a handful of happy mail packages i have received in the last few months!
 |
| a beautiful package from talented sherrie |

 |
| a surprise gift from anne-sophie |
 |
| amazing happy mail from my talented friend, abby |
 |
| handmade pillow goodness from my dear friend, tori |
 |
| sweet little note from amy |
whether it's a simple card or a handmade gift, happy mail connects people together & brings about a whole lot of joy.
i would love to share the joy & gift a happy mail package to one of my readers. comment below with your name & email address. i will pick a winner at random & announce the lucky person on friday morning. happy winnings! happy mailing!
love,
natalie

I love mail. Last year I got myself a pen pal through the Letter Writers Alliance, and she has been the biggest blessing. Now I send cards and letters to friends and family all the time -- such a sweet surprise! I'd love to get something from you.

Oooooh, I LOVE mail - I've been writing letters and sending packages back and forth with a girlfriend since we were 12 - such a fabulous day when I get real mail in the mailbox:-)

such a sweet offer. isn't receiving mail the best?
I've discovered your blog just recently, but I can't miss this. One of my 2013 resolutions is to exchange more snail mail... I had a lot of penfriends when I was a teenager and loved it, but then email came, which is great but I miss getting letters in my mailbox.
PS ops, forgot the email niachan80(at)gmail.com
this is such a nice idea. i'd really like to start doing this. there isn't quite enough happy in the world anyway and this is the perfect way to bring it out.

It is so fun to receive mail, I agree! And sometimes even more fun to send it. I love putting gifts together for friends xo
Hi Natalie! I'm usually such a lurker because I squeeze in my blog roll during the little one's nap or late at night and I tell myself I have no time to comment. Not true! Thanks for giving me the needed nudge. And I would love to receive happy mail form you! :)

Nothing beats opening up your mailbox to see something handwritten peeking out. What a lovely giveaway!
beth.reynoldsvt@gmail.com
I became inspired by Sara's mention of Happy Mail. Then when I received a Christmas card with a "you are beautiful" sticker from her I just HAD to get some for myself to send to my friends! So I've sent out at least 25 letters, cards, pictures & "you are beautiful" stickers to friends and family. What joy it gives me to bless them :) It is just so much fun!!!
