I like this note a lot and it looks like it has been printed on a piece of paper that looks like pergament, transperant and crispy.

My favorite. I guess it's a piece of bark from a tree. Lovely.

Dear Janien, thank you so much for your beautiful letter full of texture.

Small pom poms put on a string. Perhaps for sewing onto a furniture.

I'm in love with the vintage postcards Emily have send me. This one is a little bit special, when turning it around I saw it was from Helsingør, here in Denmark. So in a way, this postcard have found it's way home again.

Emily have a button collection and the one she has send me is so fantastic. They are full of texture.

The patchwork in hexagonal are pieces Emily's Grandmother were going to make into a blanket. They are out of vintage materials, leftovers from the clothes her Grandmother made for her mother when she was a little girl. I feel so special that she has send them to me.
