Incoming #1

Incoming letter one came in the mail on Saturday!  I was so excited when I saw a lovely envelope addressed to me in the stack of mail for the day.  It took every ounce of self control not to rip open the envelope before taking pictures!

Adorable letter from Anna!

This letter came from my fellow snail mail lover Anna who blogs at The Lettering.  She is a letter writing fiend.  

Even the back was precious!

I enjoyed reading her long letter which included a hilarious story about a misadventure in a German airport... love it!  

Thumbs up for long letters

You should know that I'm one of those people who doesn't use the expression "lol" often because I'm usually not actually laughing out loud.  In this instance though, I totally was!  Anna was sweet enough to even include a little gift bag of stickers and mail decorations!  

Gift bag with stickers and goodies inside-- love the chevron!

All in all, I was ecstatic to have my first piece of incoming mail.  I wrote Anna back today (check tomorrow's blog post for that) and will be sending it out bright and early in the morning!  I'm so excited for my new mail friend in Portland, OR.
