Kelly Rae Made My Day

Guess what I found in my mailbox today? A small parcel from Kelly Rae. Oh my! I had thought that the items I had ordered from her shop would ship at a later date. What a lovely surprise! She simply made my day! The datebook is so beautiful with lovely quotes for each month, and she wrote a personal little sentiment on the first page. How lovely is that! The necklace is very cute - I love the mother/daughter theme. You can also see her postcard that she told us about in her Flying Lessons.


The entire day has been so nice so far. In the morning I went to Michaels - because another store that I actually wanted to visit was still closed. I don't shop at Micheals very often, but every now and then I stop by and just wander the aisles. Today rubber stamps were 40% off and they actually had a few very nice ones. Others were on clearance. Plus some nice little brads. I also found the Tim Holtz idea-ology paper pack which I really like.


All in all - some nice little surprises during a good day. I am so grateful.

    Hi Carola..I love the gifts you received in the mail...and I love Tim Holtz...all of his stuff is amazing.
    Yes...Trader Joes has the best soup. I think in my imagination I see myself making soup and bread from scratch but in reality...it's Trader Joes and Panera Bread:)

    Your post has reminded me that I want to get to her shop and get a necklace and an iPhone skin. I've never bought any of her work before, only admired it from afar. It's time to buy something! I might even buy some Christmas gifts for family. Good to know you had a great shopping experience with her!

    Hi Carola, I have Kelly Rae's datebook for this year, which she signed for me at the BePresent retreat last year. I just use it for special inspirational/affirmation-type stuff! So fun! I have found myself in Michael's quite a bit lately as well. Always something on special and they have the coupons! Enjoy your new stuff!!

    I too find myself in Michael's - you can get coupons online too! especially helpful when i want to buy a paper punch (which are pretty expensive)... I haven't shopped much on etsy - I fear I would want to buy too many things.... eckk!
    I love visiting your blog... especially checking out your pictures..

    Hi Carola. I am so happy to meet you through this amazing group. Thank you so much for reading my posts and for taking the time to comment. I know, for experience, that is is so difficult to follow all the wonderful blogs we find each day. This is a lovely post. I love Kelly's work and most of all the great "adventure" of her life in this her art journey!
