Guys it’s time for some Post Office Bounty! Look at all these Christmas/Hanukkah presents that showed up in MAY.
Top left are two gifts that were direct-shipped to me; the Sarri’s bucket is full of chocolate covered almonds and comes from M in PGH -- you know I’ve become a bit fascinated with Sarri’s because their logo and general aesthetic reminds me so much of See’s Candies, but as far as I can tell there’s no link. Meanwhile, some great socks for Jewish, Piratical, or Semi Formal occasions came from a company called Beau Ties in Vermont -- not sure who sent it but thank you all the same!
Upper right, J from Pasadena (who I believe made my “big” bai-bao-jia, yes?) sent a small folded folio to store ephemera in, which I’m planning to take when I travel because it’s perfect for holding receipts, stamps, and credit cards. I LOVE the pouches you sent, and the stickers will not go to waste either!
Lower left, a train whistle, a dreidel (which I have very few of!) and a kite from @pale-chartreuse; I love that kind of train whistle so it will go to very good use, and the kite will definitely catch some air this summer. I DID have a calm and uneventful New Year! :D
And lastly, a box of northern treats from @janedrewfinally -- I can’t wait to try the teriyaki nori (I’m saving it for a party later this week), and I’ve already eaten one of the chocolate bars. I thought I’d include one package still wrapped to show off the Llama wrapping paper too!
This is roughly a quarter of the mail received -- there’s another post in the queue and ready to go, and then probably two more posts’ worth that I haven’t been able to photograph yet. It’s been a real lift over a couple of weeks that have badly needed it, so thank you everyone! :)
