Amira @ Shades of Gray organized an awesome pen pal program a few weeks ago. She asked if we wanted a pen pal, we answered yes, we got paired up. Simple, right? And because of Amira I met Jane.
Jane is a fellow milspouse and the lucky lady lives in Hawaii. Seriously, how jealous am I? You guys want to live in Japan with my 27 degree weather? I want to live in Hawaii! Jane has a cute Etsy shop called Jane's Cellar where she sells beautiful handmade creations that remind me of summer and romance.
Of course I wanted one as soon as I saw them. Then I received a package in the mail for Valentine's Day from Jane, complete with my very own rosette necklace. It was even in the perfect colors for me (seriously, half of what I wear is pink/purple/red)! You can't top that. I absolutely love it and I'm already planning the perfect outfit to wear with it (possibly for Valentine's Day, even though we're staying in). Hopefully she'll love her V-day present half as much as I love mine!
PS On a completely unrelated topic... Does anyone else watch TV shows, get way too emotionally involved, and then feel really silly? I just caught up on One Tree Hill and I'm seriously feeling anxiety. Over a TV show. Judge me all you want, I've been watching it since season 1 way back in high school. Now I feel old.

Awww, gorgeous necklace!! I'm so glad you and Jane hit it off, I love her :-) Thanks for sharing Sue!
ReplyDeleteaww I love Jane. I'm glad you two hit it off! Japan seems so cold! 27 degrees? yikes.
ReplyDeleteI'm still slightly envious over the penpal craze! I don't know anyone outside the US! And what a beautiful necklace :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have heard about this - how fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - I do that with TV shows and movies. I get waaaay too emotionally involved.
Oh, and you feel old? I had already graduated from college when One Tree Hill came out. So, there's that :)
What?! A penpal? FUN! I want one... like now haha How sweet that she sent you such a perfect gift! I get way caught up in tv shows, especially reality tv!
ReplyDeleteAww yay! I'm so glad you got in and you love it! That makes me happy. I can't wait to get your letter. Mail leaving Hawaii seems to be much faster than mail coming into Hawaii. I am the same way with TV shows! I get a little upset at the end of a season when this big dramatic thing has happened and how will they deal until next season picks up again?!?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the necklace she made for you, so perfect for Valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteI get emotionally involved in TV as well.. it's my "dreamlife" most of the time. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love Jane and her stuff and your blog and lots of other things too.
Still irritated about One Tree Hill.. You are not alone. I should have listened to you. Love the necklace!
ReplyDeletehow cute! i love pen-pals. I have a handful, including my younger sister who lives an hour away! :) and yes! i do get emotionally involved in tv shows. i like one tree hill, but have missed some episodes. others include : the secret life of the american teenager (season premiering soon), hart of dixie, Parenthood and revenge to name a few ;)
