receiving the sea at your doorstep

Some days ago (se yesterday's post) I received a nice package in the mail.
It brought me a lot of happiness, and a real luxury: the seaside at my step, its scent, its texture, and the laughter of three friends conjuring up a nice surprise for someone far away!

Thank you again, Heather, and also thanks to your friends.....

corner to corner

Two days ago I received something in the mail that excited and moved me so much!



I was waiting for an envelope, and I received a huge box! It is part of the corner to corner, "a circle of giving and receiving where Joanne's tenugui goes from one person to another, starting with Jane and ending back with Joanne, wrapping a small gift of some kind.  (Please read here for more details)" as beautifully explained here by Francesca from Fuoriborgo.


I have always been a super fan of paper mail, and sending things and messages, so when I read about the corner to corner I jumped in. 
I have also always been fascinated by the communications you can have with distant soul mates from around the world.





You can imagine my surprise and delight when I opened and found that Heather has been so kind and thoughtful, really sending me emotions that are still working (more about this tomorrow, in a special post about the sea....). Thank you Heather!!!!


I was also moved by the sight of all the notes from everybody, I felt I was having in my hand a string connecting good people from around the world!
