in the mailbox

On Monday, the mailman filled my mailbox with lovely surprises, two packages and several envelopes that contained Valentine greetings, from family and friends.

My mail arrives between 2:45 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on weekdays, but for some reason on Saturday, our mail carrier delivers the mail between 12:30 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.. I often wonder why he has an early delivery time on Saturday, he does the same route with the same amount of houses. I like going to get the mail and I especially like getting the mail when surprises packages are waiting for me.

I opened my first package, you can read about it here; next I quickly unwrapped the second box.  I was an extremely lucky lady last week because the box I was opening was the second giveaway that I won from Deborah from Confessions of a Craiglist Junkie. I had just begun reading her lovely blog when she was offering a giveaway, I entered and won......

 Rachel Ashwell's book 
Shabby Chic Inspirations and Beautiful Spaces
A message congratulating me on winning the giveaway.

 The book contains so many inspirational photos, and ideas.
Who wouldn't want to wake up in a bedroom this pretty?
I love this book!

Deborah, thanks for having a giveaway, I am thrilled with this book. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I enjoy reading Confessions of a Craighlist Junkie and perhaps you would too, take a few moments and  check out the blog Confessions of a Craighlist Junkie you'll be glad you did.
