2 Postcards and Said the Whale

This is long overdue - I received postcards from two very lovely, wonderful people a few weeks ago and now I've finally gotten around to posting the pictures. Firstly, I took part in the cool Postcard Exchange that Deanne from Dream Sequins so kindly organized. For sending a postcard each these two awesome bloggers, I in return got two cards in the mail. And here's what I got:

The top card is of course New York, from Deanne. I absolutely love her blog - she had awesome coverage of NYFW and love her profiles of hot designers and bloggers.

The second card I got was super cute - it is from Alicia from Crossing Over to the Dark Side. Great collection of inspiring photos and images.

I know i haven't had too many posts lately - but I will do some outfit posts over the weekend and in the upcoming week. Things have just been crazy with the teaching gig and I'm really looking forward to this weekend!

Totally unrelated is what's playing alot in my iPhone/Pod/Tunes these days - Said the Whale. They're a great little band from Vancouver, and their tunes are keeping me upbeat and in good company for those long nights working away. My faves right now are Howe Sound and Camilo (The Magician).

All You Need is Love

I totally admit it - I can be such a cheeseball sometimes. And that's why I love this wooden sign from Rockett St. George. Just seeing it just makes me happy - amazing what the written word can do for you, as the sassy Elizabeth Marie from It's Unbeweavable! commented to me today.

And postcards, a quaint, and somewhat dated concept, can also bring a smile to people (as well as myself - you already know I'm sappy). Deanne from Dream Sequins' organized a postcard project, and through that I connected with not just Elizabeth Marie but also Summer from B is for Brown. The idea is simple: you send one postcard to two people, and in return you will receive postcards from others. What a great way to bring people together! You can see the 50's inspired print I sent Summer here.

I haven't checked my mail yet this week, but I'm hoping I get my cards very soon.
