Even though I’m the absolute worst when it comes to sending snail mail, I’m like a kid on Christmas morning when I receive a pretty package in the mail. This week was a particulary good mail week because I received a sparkly one courtesy of my good friend Katrina of Pugly Pixel, who wanted to share her gorgeous vintage sequin collection with some of her blog friends. She even indulged my special request for “blue” ones and it arrived all wrapped up with those special touches that make “Pixel Mail” the absolute best….thanks Katrina! And you can get in on the bling action too, click here to download a free sample of her “Razzle Dazzle Dizzle” sequin clusters – perfect for sprucing up your blog and photos!
This week I also received my subscription of Travel & Leisure featuring my absolute favorite Greek destination on the cover: Santorini! It won this year’s award for the “Best Overall Island” and “Best European Island” and I couldn’t agree more! The issue couldn’t have come at a more perfect time as I will soon start recapping the Santorini portion of the trip. So in case you don’t want to take my word for how breathtaking this island really is, now you have Travel & Leisure’s stamp of approval too!
Buckeroomama - I can’t wait to see your pics of Santorini!
I first fell in love with Santorini when I saw a feature done on National Geographic’s Traveler magazine.
Life with Kaishon - That sounds like a PERFECT mail day in my book for sure : )
Absolutely fabulous.
elly - I think snail mail is all kinds of brilliant! So much so that I made one of The List items send 100 hand written letters. I think I’ve done about seven. :) Love the mail package, hey. Those vintage sequins are rad!
Angelia Sims - Oh happy day! Love nice surprises in the mall. :-) The sequins are adorable!
Can’t wait to hear more about your trip! And we may have a copy of that magazine at work. I’ll have to look. Looks like heaven. :-)
very married - I’m kinda loving sequins right now too! What a great mail week for you!
Cafe Fashionista - Ooh, now I want to subscribe to Travel + Leisure. It sounds like the perfect periodical to feed my wanderlust! :)
Audrey Allure - From what I see on the cover, it already looks breathtaking!
Stephanie - Woah! great treat in the mail. I need to start getting into a scrapbooking mood for my trip abroad, so posts like these always inspires me to get moving!
Eternally yours,
Stephanie
Mindy - that sounds like an awesome mail day, for sure. i’m just excited when I have mail that doesnt include a bill, but sequins and a fab mag? That takes the cake!

Amy - I love festive snail mail. Sigh. And it’s not like I need to say it aloud or anything, but I can’t wait to see your photos!
Piper - I adore Katrina – she’s so sweet! I know what you mean about snail mail – nothing better than finding a card in the mail (rather than the usual bills & junk!!)
Sandy a la Mode - LOVE getting packages in the mail!!! who doesn’t?!?
Haute World - Oh, how I miss snail mail. I think most people only get bills by mail now, although I’m glad I still get invitations and the odd purchase. What a gorgeous package and I’m all about the sequins. Looking forward to your Santorini recap… I’m sure your pics will rival any in Travel + Leisure!
Camila Faria - Katrina is the best, isn’t she? I won some of her vintage sequin collection in a Much Love giveaway, so I know what you mean. Very exciting! But I still don’t know what to do with my awesome sequins. Any ideas?
Hannah B - I love Pugly Pixel!
Nadette - I’ve heard great things about Santorini from my sister, so I cannot wait for your amazing picutres from there!
katrina - i’m so happy you got it and that you’re enjoying the sequins, maddy. let me know if you change your mind about the other colors — i have some left still. :)
