{pretty packages}

thank you all for your sweet words yesterday.
you guys are seriously so kind and encouraging,
i always enjoy reading your comments!

another thing i enjoy?
getting lovely packages in the mail.
i was lucky enough to get two yesterday.
what a treat after a long, gloomy winter day.

first one : from one my favorite artists on etsy :: leah duncan.
i already own a beautiful print by her.
now i own a beautiful screenprinted pillowcase
to add some color to the new duvet cover we got for Christmas.
(which finally replaced the super girly and puppy-torn floral one we had before).

i was delighted by leah's packaging. how beautiful is that card?!
inside is a lovely handwritten note  & a postcard of one of her new prints.
it's always fun to get a little something extra!

and the pillowcase is even more beautiful in person than in photos. it is extremely well-made. i really like the organic cotton she used. it has great texture (and is really good quality).

i also received some decorative japanese tape from the etsy shop pretty tape, and let me tell you, it definitely lives up to its name! it, too, came in a lovely package,
though i didn't get any good photos of it.

aren't the colors perfect? i have been wanting some pretty tape for some time now, and finally decided to splurge after some recent sales i made. i can't wait to use it!

have you received any pretty packages lately?
