i love getting packages in the mail!!!!

look what the mail lady brought me today.....

inside the box were several beautifully wrapped packages...

don't you love the twine, scrolled old book pages, the post card and gray tissue paper?
just beautifully wrapped....

i also got this awesome leather cuff which had "letting go" stamped on it!  i didn't even order it!!!!  it was a perk! whoever said the the good things in life aren't free?  not to mention, this phrase is particularly important for me... it was as if she knew me and what has been going on in my life....but how could she?

 also included was this beautiful notecard... also for free!!!!
I just might frame it instead of writing on it!  Do you think it was by accident that the old page came from a book entitled "A New Friend"?

who was the beautiful package from you ask?

Jeanne Oliver Designs....

Check out her website here!

jeanne says she has dreamed of designing her own fashion and accessory line since she was a little girl!

she has original art, prints, one of a kind jewelry and a clothing and accessory line on her website.  she also incorporates special vintage items to help to tell the story of each collection.  not only does Jeanne have a website and a great blog but she also has an Etsy shop called "A Bushel and a Peck".  Here are some of the great prints in her shop!  i wish I had seen these before I ordered because I am sure I would have ordered one of them as well.  Oh well, i know i will be ordering again....

aren't these great?  makes me want to go paint and try my hand at making a collage...
