Show Some Love- Send a Care Package

May7

Thanks to Hooked on Houses for hosting Hooked on Fridays and Fifi Flowers for hosting Fashionable Fridays.

I got home from running errands one afternoon this week and there was a box waiting on my doorstep.  Woo hoo!!  My mom sent me a care package.  

This ritual started when I went away to college at 17.  Roughly once a month I’d get a package from my parents.  The content would vary from food to clothes to personal goods.  All of it was appreciated.  My roommates would gather around when someone got a package and if there was food, we’d all partake.  

Little Miss Petrie enjoyed this package.  She got a beautifully illustrated book on birds and a pile of clothes.

 

Lots of Small Paul gear- very hip and comfortable.

I LOVE this purse!!  It’s roomy, thoughtfully laid out and turquoise, one of my favorite colors.

These sandals are so me- bohemian and comfy.

Mom, thanks for helping me be a little hipper with these great accessories!  

Have fun reading all the other gorgeous posts!

   I sure could use a care package! My mom usually does it for all the holidays, or anything closely resembling one… Now that I have so many darn sister-in-laws they just don’t come quite as often!

   You did get some great things. Lucky girl!

   That’s such a sweet thing to do! I used to do it for my little brother when I was in college — send him “cool” things from the big college city world. Now I try and do it for my niece & nephew. It’s always so exciting to get mail! BTW — love the sandals!!

   Lucky you! Can’t say I’ve ever received a care package “just because”.

   Isn’t it fun to receive a care package in the mail?! My mom used to do that too. Love the turquoise bag and sandals and what an adorable little girl too! Happy Mother’s Day!

    That’s a great idea! My little sister will be having a baby soon, and I think that will be a great opportunity to send her a care package a few months into it.

    P.S. I’m having a little giveaway at my blog today. Check it out!

    Hi there,
    I love the idea of sending {and receiving} care packages. These days even getting real mail is fun. To get a care package would be fantastic!
    Thank you for stopping by “The Zoo”. I am on my way to check out Sarah’s Art Blog. Thank you for the heads up.
    Have a great weekend.

    You have to go to my blog and see my wonderful care package I just received today too!! What a coincidence. By the way, good thing you live in a different state or I’d be there stealing that purse. : )
