March snail mail

I know April is in the middle already, but I waited for my partner Hila to get her letter from me so that I could share a lot of pictures with you! Let's start with the colorful and cute-cute-cute letter I got last week from Sharon (Scotland). 

The whole package in theme of fairy tales (and cartoons)

These are some of the cutest stamps I have ever seen! Even the dissatisfied lady at the post office after a long week of work started to smile while passing me this package :) Thanks Sharon for making my post lady's day :)

Package included a long letter (I love to read these kind of letters so much!) and A REAL Winnie The Pooh book! Oh dear, Thanks soooo much!

 I love drawings - they remind beautiful illustrations from books in my childhood. Right after I checked everything from the package, I started to read the book. Adventures of Winnie The Pooh and his friends never gets old!

After enjoying the fact that I own The Winnie The Pooh book in original language, I found a mysterious bundle with the title "It's a letter writing kind of day". Can you guess whats inside?  

I may have been a bad letter writer, but postcard sender I am a big one. So I got a lot of beautiful postcards with Beatrix Potter drawings. Oh, it will be hard to send them out. I believe, I will hold all of these postcards in my special collection :)

Package included some little things for my future letters - transparent stickers with unbelievable similar design to my favorite Korean artist stickers (maybe author is the same?), postal stamp alike stickers with vintage design, washi tape and cute gift tags with curious Pooh Bear. 

Story tells, there were a fox which went to Latvia. I am sure she will have a lot of adventures over here in this little county!
On the letter Sharon wrote about her love of horses, so I were not surprised to find a necklace with a pedant of a horse. 

A big part of each snail mailing fun is possibility to receive something sweet. This time - Chocolate Easter eggs by a Switzerland company Lindt. For those who are not familiar with this company - Lindt chocolate is one of the most delicious in the world. Trust a true chocolate lover!

How to make cute thread holders

A few weeks ago I made something new - thread holders made of paper. I found this idea in Pinterest and a picture that led me to the Little White Whale blog (there you will see how Gloria originally made her cats).

Let me add some notes from me, how I made my cute animals.
I used:
• thick kraftpaper,
• scissors to cut out a shape,
• Sharpie to draw a face,
• watercolors to paint a face,
• colorful threads or strings.

Like Gloria suggests, you can use cardboard or other thick paper in size of a business card. At first I drew the face and ears, then I cut the right shape. Each animal got his own color of thread and the same color I tried to include in face painting. Depending on the paper you use, animals can hold different threads or yarn.
Below you can see my animal set.

 If you have made something similar, I would love to see your result! 

By the way, I will tell you more about the fairy-tale in the last picture soon!
