I've been really lucky to get lovely mail really often recently. Now I got Jesse's book I don't like chocolate (I haven't had the time to read it yet!) and a amazingly beautiful brooch that I bought from Karen's Etsy shop (and she's just updated it, I'm particularly fond of this piece!)

Boxes have taken over our home, so they were the most appropriate background for today's photos.

This is even more beautiful in real life! I'll wear this when I want to feel girly.

I just finished my competition book today, only to get an email telling that the deadline has been postponed by two weeks. I really think it's unfair to change the rules just because some people can't make deadlines... Hmph. I probably wouldn't be this cranky about it if I hadn't spent the last weeks worrying about finishing the book before moving. Maybe it's all right to be cranky about it anyway?
