Sendddd Me Something Goooood. (the big reveal.)

A couple of months ago I signed up for a fun little thing called Send Something Good. In short terms, it's a secret gift exchange between bloggers. Weeee!

I was pretty thrilled to be given Ashley of Fairview Pl. as my gift buddy. In reading her blog, I learned all about her mad love for vintage as well as felt, teal, tea, pretzels and handmade jewelry. Done, done and done (x2). I bought her a gorgeous vintage tea pot + a really cool scrabble pieced turn to a little craft that I miraculously managed to makee into a necklace + some pretzel m&ms and tea (not pictured) + some felt stickers and a really cute felt pouch (also not pictured.. I included the last few things right before I sent the gift out!)

Since it was suggested that we additionally included something to represent where we live, I happily and proudly obliged with a couple of postcards: one from Ventura (my rad little beachy hometown) and one from Ojai (our neighboring hippie town) Oh and a little mini capsule of Ventura seashells. I thought that was a nice touch !

 Hope you loved your gifts, Ashley! (I almost kept the teapot for myself.)

Giving was just half the fun tho... I also got some snail mail myself, yo! And seriously, it was so exciting. The day my package arrived, my sister came running into my room squeeling, "guesss what came for youuuu!!" Haha, I got her involved in the whole thing and she made for some good audience participation as I ripped open my box. I was amazed to find a beautiful navy blue dress handmade by Kristen of Ola Mae's. It fits perfect!!! Thank you so much, Kristen!

Also in the box was a lovely little red scarf and some Kanses City coffee which is not pictured here because it went quick.

Don't you all want to be a part of this goodness! You know you do. Good news: this business is going down again soon! Make sure you follow the presidents  [ hehe, Gentri :) ] for any news regarding the next exchange! Also, just follow them anyway because they're cool. They be: Gentri, Kaitlyn, and Kristy.

Thanks girls for putting together such a fun thingggg.

Hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous holiday weekend. I am. (I've successfully slept in the past three days until noon. #winning)
