I just adore parcels. Did I tell you I love receiving parcels? I love receiving them so much that the two I received last night I saved for this morning. I love them so much that I spend hours packing up parcels for other little munchkins. This morning, when I sat down at my little tattered white table with my tattered yellow bus school chair, I devoured each moment with these lovely lovely parcels…
Oh my goodness…Are there treats??? What is that I see??? "Pigeon, is that you???" Let's dump it out and see??? It is it is, it is my treat from the most talented and adorable Wee Foxling?? Yes it is, A Small Fox In a Big World undoubtedly. May I add caring and kind-hearted to the mix of this Foxling Girl? Of course I may. I had to Leave Henry behind, and I am so so sorry Henry. But Miss Pigeon, the teeny pink fluffy owl, has a new home!!! Is she a Pigmy Owl? You know those are endangered in Az. I have to submit info. about that as disclosure to my clients in the Real Estate World!! Can you believe it?
Oh goodness, what is all this lovely stuff with this Parcel???!!! Yippee!!! Oh, Hello little Pigeon. I love you so!!! I can see you in there…How was your flight???
My little sweet Pigeon is adorable isn't she? Come here little Pigeon, let me take care of you. Oops, I have paint on my hands. That must be from the frames I am painting for my wonderful AshleyG prints.
I am so glad that when you adopt you get chocolates instead of stitches…Thank you Miss Foxling. But, don't worry, I won't eat them. I will be good, I will save them as gifts for Valentine's Day…devilishly grinning, hee hee hee. Maybe I'll need to have my lips stitched so I don't eat them. Singing in my best Madonna voice from the early nineties, "You abandoned me, 'will' power don't live here anymore, just a vacancy…lalalalala"
Well, maybe just one. I really have not had breakfast you know. And I am doing this funny diet from a lovely little Prescott friend. Just chocolate and coffee. All day. All you want. And then maybe a multi-vitamin. So my teeth don't rot. You know those darn teeth. Oh, my, gobble, they are so, mmm, my, gobble, my so tasty, Oh maybe I'll just have another???
Oh Goodness. Did I get carried away with the chocolates?? Oh no, no ( straightening my dress, I mean my nightgown which I am still wearing late in the morning, I mean early in the morning, yes, early) I did not. Pigeon, what have you done??? Did you eat all of those???
Now why does Pigeon look so sad? It is not My fault that she ate all of those. People should just take responsibility for themselves….Aye aye aye. I guess she'll have to seek professional help next, do you know any good Owl shrinks?? Am I cut out for this?? Parenting??? hee. Okay, Let's try putting Pigeon in a lovely branch. Maybe her personality will flourish amongst the beauties??? (ps: Pigeon has a lovely demeanor, it is not her fault she lives with, well, a nut-cake? now).
Pigeon seems to be doing well, hanging around the lovely branch. Now, let's get back to the Parcels!!! The next one is one I longed for with great anticipation. It took so long to get here (well, I guess not that long, like 3 weeks), and Karena was so patient with my worried inquiries. But they are here, and well worth the wait!! By the way, there was a big neon sticker on the Parcel that said it was held up in customs for security reasons, or something like that…It is here now though, and that is all I care about, MagicJelly treasures! Thank you Karena!!!
Her work is fabulous. You know what I find with Etsy purchases? I have had some really great quality pieces sent to me with such attention to detail! Bravo! So, here they are.. Ta-da!!!
I think these works are so intriguing and wonderful!!! A perfect addition to my bedroom away from my main home. They will live happy here at the loftish space home.
I spent the evening making up my own packages for some treasured folks I have met here. I hope that I will have enough time and love to put this into many packages that I hope many of you will receive from me. There is a special someone who has been waiting for a special something in a place that starts with an "E," for way too long. The problem is, everytime I thought I would send it, I had a little addition. She will get it in a few days though, and I think it has been worth the wait!!!!!… I even did a little extra crocheting…Look away Miss "R," look away.
Then another little friend who I have had more fun creating a little package for who finds herself in a curious blue dress, it was all part of a bribery I promised to help with, will receive something marvelous soon!!! That parcel went out today!!!! keep a watchful eye!!! And, I wish I had a camera there when these get opened!!! I wish to pieces!!!
Well, I am off. I have been sitting in this space for way too long. Sometimes it feels like days. I will be at the pottery Studio all day Tomorrow, and then helping Mr. Dino D'Taos move on Friday. Just 3 -1/2 minutes away from me by car. My toosh is sore from sitting… Do you get tired from sitting too long at the computer…My bones hurt!! A sign, time to go outside and play!!!
I am so addicted to this discovery(above edible), they call it chocolate covered honeycomb. But it is like puffed carmelized honey covered in chocolate, I choose the dark chocolate. The inside melts in your mouth. You must try it!!! Oh wait, what is that sound? a car, a truck? a bird? a plane????
Wait what???No, this is too Ironic, down my never visited street? Now, during Parcel post writing??? Yes, it is, it is, it is!!! A UPS man!!! I am running out, in the cold, in my nightgown… Off I go…They actaully visit the boonies? and my street at the studio??? YAY!!!! I am leaving bye, bye, see you soon!!! All you wonderful lovelies!!!!
Oh no!! he is leaving, wait, come back, come back Jack, come back, wait Jack, come back, please Jack, please (why did that just sound like a line from Titanic?). He is gone. No no no. That means no more parcels for me for today. Is his name Jack? Whatever…
Good-bye, adios!!! I am in the cold, in the yard, standing in the dirt, barefoot. Time to paint!!!What fun!!!
Pss. if you get this far…you should know, this whole post started with me dreaming about Gerard Depardieu and his description of how he met Bronte (Andy McDowell, spelling? ) in Greencard…Parcels, she was carrying all of these parcels…..





























Love love LOVE the desk. So dainty and wonderful. I’m sorry Pigeon ate all your chocolates. I should have put more birdseed and mice in the package for her. It’s a long trip to Arizona with only bubble wrap and plastic to munch on.
I love the branch you hung her on. Those pink baubles are to die for.
I covet the bunny/fox print from Magic Jelly hardcore. I shall have to purchase it. What did shipping run you?
Thank you for all the kind words. You are too much, my lovely. Too much.
HI Babe! I m having some internet probs so i am just dropping a quick line to say hi. Should be back on line next week off to some huge trade shows this weekend which will be fab..
Love Michelle
*laughs* What a wonderful, joy filled post! Awww, your little pigeon is so sweet – but are you sure it ate all of the chocolate? Hrmmm? I’m not so certain, the poor little thing looks too inoocent to me. 😉
What a beautiful desk to open such gorgeous mail on! Just lovely.
I want to go on your diet of just chocolate and coffee, my darling vanessa I think that is a diet I can stick to.
also, I am so jealous of your magic jelly pieces, oh, they are lush and lovely and each time I see them I want to sink into their world and dream….
and oh…the bit at the end with the parcels….I wished I was Bronte in that movie…
also, please note that I mentioned Andie MacD in my blog yesterday I believe…..
same wave length darling.
Oh my and heavens…owls and chocolate and parcels? I’ll tell you, I am excited to bits. I have a special affinity with owls (a long story) and well…the chocolate? WE all know about that. I just realized I was carrying a whole bag of peanut butter kisses in my knitting bag with me…you know, for um, emergencies? And since all the sickies went away (I took some emergen-c this morning, kind of like alkaseltzer) I felt much better (I had 2 kisses tonight…but to be fair, I ate cake for dinner, it was my nieces 10th birthday)
I was married to a UPS man once (makes me sound like I’ve been married a lot…only one time. sigh) and I’m telling you, the uniform? YUMMM!
PS it’s snowing here!
Oh Im such a baby when I hear the postman on his moped…I get my boys excited too and we all go outside to get the mail…love love snail mail! Great Etsy buys!
Easter chocolates already?? Im still eating chocolates from Christmas time…we call those choc covered honeycomb ‘Violet Crumble’ – Yum!!
Greencard! how funny…brings back memories…that movie got so much slack but it was fun..her rooftop garden was to die for….
I just love parcels, especially from sweet blog friends. How adorable is that Owl? It looks so content in the tree branches amongst the beautiful stars, and the Magic Jelly prints are just amazing, I think I might just get some for myself 🙂 …You ran out without your shoes? sheer determination there, hope you didn’t frighten ‘Mr Jack -the UPS man’ away.
hello dear! no worries, i did look away. but i must say i am quite excited for my package!! but i am also a patient person (sometimes, especially if i don´t need to wait in line, i hate lines) so take your time. i love your little pigeon. she is very adorable. and i´ve coveted those magic jelly prints for awhile…i have yet to give in but most definitely will soon.
and i love your toenails…you have inspired me to go for a pedicure. i don´t know why i don´t go more often here…they are very cheap and oh so relaxing. maybe a special treat for tomorrow?
Love that Magic Jelly stuff!! The pigy is soooosweet !Love him on the branch!!!Love De pardieu,love you!!!!!
oh my – I love visiting you – gotta get on THAT diet – oh you are so much FUN – I’ve got to run – but I’ll be back – I want to savor those chocolates – xox – eb.
yum, sponge candy in dark chocolate – i’m salvating..
a chocolate diet…just my kind of diet, a diet to die for..hee!
what lovely treasures in the parcels,i so love getting packages too..
great post today, my little nut-cake!
Those cards!! I stopped and stared and couldn’t think of anything other than them! They are fantastic!!
Naughty, naughtly owl, are you sure she should be staying with you ?? LOL. I am sure she would feel fine her with me. “giggles”.
Your parcels are particularly delicious. No wonder you love them so. As for me, I running, RUNNING to check out that magic jelly. And what a very silly name that is:-)
I’m so glad you posted about your wonderful packages – now I have more etsy shops to check out. What an adorable owl!
I love the *WORD* parcels! And that skirt looks sooo lovely. Can’t wait till it’s warm enough that I can stand outside barefoot with a skirt… mmmm…
Yesss, dry against teeth… and that icky feeling of too dry on your fingers as folding, I totally agree. I thought I was just completely bizarre.. I had to comment again because I was so shocked that you knew what I was talking about! 🙂
You have so much fun stuff to look at in your space. I wish the blog had a zoom button, and a ‘move that to the left cause there is something intriguing behind it’ button.
Parcels are one of the things in this world that make Life Worth Living. Especially wrapped in paper.
Thanks for the visit.
I am so glad you all love Parcels!!!! I will have to make sure I am good at sending them more often!!! It is a give and take thing, isn’t it?
