Two weeks ago, Jess ordered the flower charm. She is actually my first long distance customer so that got me pretty excited! Since I still owed her the birthday giveaway, I packed the charm in the parcel and sent it away that Monday. It was like a momentous event when I got the payment in paypal and handed the box to the woman at the post office. Same feeling I got when I sold the slipper charm, which is the very first item that I sold in person. It's a very good kind of high!
So imagine my emotions soaring this morning when I checked my e-mail. I felt a boost of happiness and inspiration running through my whole body. I'm so happy to know that someone is happy with the stuff I make as this is one of my major fears about my craft. It feels good to know that people appreciate my work.
"The charm complements perfectly with my electric blue phone and coordinates against the pattern of my Vera Bradley bag."
Thanks, Jess! You surely made me happy today. :)

And I got these in my mailbox this afternoon. My first etsy purchases with an address label freebie. I love them both! I even like the envelope she sent it with, stamped with the artsy stamps she designed herself. Now I only have to find frames to put them in. I already know where to hang them.
The Seattle postcard is from Gail. She's one of my first blog friends when I started blogging in 2003. Somehow we drifted apart - got busy with our lives, I guess, but when I checked her blog again lately and saw that she also joined Postcrossing, I asked her if she wanted to exchange postcards with me. Now, I got one. Thanks hun! :)
So yeah, these nice surprises really made my day. What a great way to start my July!
