From marvelous Lily, I received sweet-smelling, fresh valenthyme and valenrosemary from her very own garden (!) along with a heady bar of lemon geranium valensoap from Saipua. These were packaged alongside the most perfecty card of all time (one for me to pass on, no less!), stamped and wondering: "Will Ewe Be Mine?" All told, an herbaceous, sweet-smelling valentine, one that allowed me to glimpse warmer weather, to sit at my desk in cold New York and stand in a desert garden, running my fingers through bundles of herbs. Many thanks, Lily.
To Amanda at Bird for Bread, I packed up a set of thaumatrope cards. I've been a little obsessed with these toys since visiting the Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh, and it seemed about time to track some down and spread them about. In the vein of magical toys, a tiny fortune-telling fish headed Amanda's way as well, along with a big batch of hand-cut felt hearts ("Take heart, Valentine"). You can see more at Bird for Bread.
Thanks again, all. xoxo
