Or How I Almost Ruined My Surprise

One of our made up holidays is the Lunaversary, which falls on the 14th of every month.  This month, my sweetness surprised me with a gift he found on Etsy.

It's a moon with clouds pendant from Becka Rahn (remember my tattoo?). It's enamel over copper. It's gorgeous.  The tiny circles are holes through the pendant.  It's really too cool.  Thank you, Andrew!

I recently ordered a couple things from Etsy, so when I picked up the mail I saw Etsy in the return address and tore into the package.  By the time I walked in the front door, I'd discovered these awesome mini binder clips (she drew fish and robots! on them), but I hadn't opened the inner envelope with the pendant.  Luckily, Andrew knew what it was and took the mail from me before I ruined my surprise.  I wasn't too sad, since he let me keep the awesome binder clips.

The first year we were married, we celebrated our Lunaversary every month with presents and a dinner out.  As you can imagine, we eventually ran out of *good* present ideas, although, in my defense, he still wears the Midvale, Utah Hooters t-shirt I bought him.  I like it better now that we get each other things on random Lunaversaries.  I love a good surprise.

The mail also brought me this wonderful Valentine from the sweetest Bitter Betty.  I ate the candy that was in the wax paper pouch right away (yum!), but I'll be saving the glittery card for a long time.  Thank you for the sweet thoughts, Bethany.

Awww that is so sweet! Andrew went shopping for you on Etsy. I doubt Alan has ever even heard of Etsy much less would know to buy me anything from there.

I don't think I can ever let a paperclip go without drawing on it!

Your Lunaversary gift is fabulous! I love it that you celebrate Lunaversaries. My husband and I celebrate the full moon each month by writing down a wish and leaving it in a dish outside all night under the full moon.

What cute binder clips--it's such a clever and fun gift.
