Raquel and I decided to do a package swap. One day last week I found the package she sent tucked into my post office box. Here is what arrived for me after a transatlantic journey from Portugal to the United States:


Two postcards from Raquel's trip to Barcelona, Spain earlier this year.

The cutest little handmade polka dot bow pin (also from Barcelona).

A bar of delightfully scented soap hand-decorated by Raquel's aunt.

A card holder made by a friend of Raquel's. Yes, it's made from coffee bags! How neat is that?!

A lovely green stone necklace from southern Portugal.
Thank you again for such a wonderful array of gifts, Raquel! :)

Oh, such lovely things! It's always so much fun receiving packages with lots of little surprises in it!
what a wonderful package! The polka dot bow is adorable, and that is so clever of her to make a card holder from coffee bags!
what a great package swap!! beautiful gifts!
what great gifts! I love that some of them are handmade, way better than getting anything bought because you know it took time to be made.
have a great rest of the week dear :)
