I can't believe the incredible package that
Green Kitchen sent to me. I'm totally blown away by how thoughtful she is. Everything she sent is exactly something I would have picked for myself.
The package included a print of a mixed media skull with flowers. I absolutely love it! I already bought a frame and put it up on the wall behind my computer. It looks great with everything else. I took this opportunity to build a little shelf for
Kate and Pipka, which were gifts from
Isa.
Inside the package was a small swatch of printed fabric wrapped around a small, but weighty, bundle. Inside the fabric was this wallet. Ahhhh! The
Dreary Xmas wallet series was featured in her first blog post. Santa Skull is a sister wallet to the Sad Snowman, the head of which she uses as her profile photo. Her kick-ass wallets inspired me to make the
Bad Eggs around Easter when I was fed up with the all the saccharine consumerism (thank goodness Easter doesn't have it's own music...).
The stitching on this wallet rocks. There is a tiny translucent red bead in the middle of the hat pom-pom ... which can also be spelled pom-pon ... which also means artillery designed to shoot upward at airplanes. I can't believe she sent this wallet to me. To me! :) It's mine.
The wallet was awfully heavy, so I opened it and found this amazing owl tucked inside. Owl! When I pulled it out of the wallet, in a stunned, low voice, I uttered, "Oh my fucking god."
Apparently I gave the impression that there was a severed finger in the wallet. Andrew seemed relieved when he looked over and I was holding an owl necklace.
It's metallic gold and white with awesome glass eyes. I'm definitely going to wear this out, even though it is 3.5" long and weighs about 4 pounds. It's just too incredibly cute to keep all to myself!
I found another big owl necklace recently, in addition to the one that I bought to put on my
little green bag. The big owl necklaces have officially become a collection.
Thank you, Michelle! I love it all. :) You totally rock!
