In this very digital age, don’t you just love getting packages and letters in the mail? It’s one of my absolute favourite things in the world. Knowing that packages are on their way makes me a little excited and every day I arrive home in the hopes that something special is waiting for me.

Today I received some postcards I had made up to send out with my Print Store purchases and they look gorgeous! This week I also received some pretty baker’s twine curled around an old fashioned wooden spool and some filters for my Polaroid SX70.

However, the best kind of package is one sent from a friend, sent with love and care. Last week I received this little set of goodies above, along with a few others from the lovely Susannah. I have always adored her cupcake print…she must have known. Funnily, she has put up a pic of the package I sent her too. =D

When I move to Canada (in 4 weeks and 3 days! ) I plan on writing lots of letters and sending lots of packages to my family and friends. When I lived away from home for a year at uni, receiving letters was the only thing that kept me going. I can’t wait to get that little piece of home wrapped in a brown paper package.

Don’t forget that Danni of Oh, Hello Friend is running the Lovely Package Exchange and if you want some ideas and inspiration for package wrapping, have a look at the flickr group and another nice package group too!

What kind of packages do you send? Do you send them at all? Do you write letters anymore?

p.s. It is the beginning of cherry blossom season here. I am officially on the hunt! More about that tomorrow.
