paperedthoughts: June 2012

Super Duper Excited!

I am very excited to let all you wonderful people know that my Etsy Papered Thoughts Products will be arriving shortly at the wonderful Little Paper Lane - I am Super Duper Excited to have my products on real shelves in a real shop (and a beautiful one at that!) - So I may be a little slower than usual updating here & replying to your letters (But I'm still here & Loving your mail!) So keep writing! Anyway here's the beginning of my wholesale/retail adventure :)

A Simple Letter

We all know how much a bright Handwritten letter can mean after a long crappy day - full of missed buses, spilled coffee, late deadlines and miserable weather.. I'm not sure what it is but the mysterious magical properties of a letter can make all the wrong - right - in an instant. That is what I'm asking of you - right now.. I'm asking you to help make a little girls day a little "righter" :)

Meet beautiful, brave, strong & Still smiling Miette - This sweet little girl has been diagnosed with an incurable brain stem tumour - doctors have given her little chance of survival beyond 12 months.. Even so this Super strong girl is on a Mission - to collect as many letters as she can :) (Pretty wonderful hey!) So here is the deal - Instead of writing to me this month PLEASE - take a half hour out of your day to send this special little girl a note, package, letter or surprise! We all know how much a letter can mean - imagine what you'd be doing for Miette.. Get your kids to right one, friends, parents - Link this blog post to your blog! - lets get the message out there & fill Miette's letterbox with so much love, sunshine & joy!

A Trip to the City.

This weekend just been was a long weekend in Australia - Plently of time to sit in the sunshine & daydream. However due to the lack of sunshine (& The plethora of Rain, Thunder & Wind) I decided to spend a couple of days wandering the great city of Sydney. Mumma Bear, Sister & I headed in on Saturday night & I Spent the day with my Dad in Darlinghurst, Newtown, Surrey Hills & Enmore on Sunday (If you ever get a chance - those are some very trendy suburbs!) - Here are a few of my favourite Happy Snaps from over the weekend.. (I sware I did more than eat!)

I Know I don't Normally show much more than the beautiful fronts of my envelopes But this was just too pretty not to :) - So excited to be writing with Tabi <3

After an Insanely busy week I totally blanked & forgot to photograph my outgoing letters! Eeek! Oh well - More next week :)

&& To finish up - How adorable is my New nail colour :) PS - This is my 49th Post (Almost 50!) so stay tuned for a Giveaway coming up very soon!!
