:: Etsy Love - Papered Thoughts ::

Back in March this year I was looking through my etsy activity and one of my friends had 'favourited' a super adorable packet of confetti that was labelled as a perfect pen pal gift. Well, colour me interested! I love things I can send my pen pals! I clicked through to the etsy store and that is where my obsession with Papered Thoughts began.
Papered Thoughts is the gorgeous etsy store run by Rin from the blog of the same name: Papered Thoughts. Rin is a creative genius and is always dreaming up the most adorable hand made items: from hand drawn stickers, to paint chip letter seals and confetti tape (it's just as awesome as it sounds).
I am in love with her hand-drawn stickers. I'm forever having an internal battle with myself: to use or not to use. I love them, but I didn't buy them to sit in my sticker box and feel unloved! Such a dilemma.
Papered Thoughts is a great place to go for creative, homemade items - including mail art envelopes! Rin's envelopes are amazing and she's selling some on her etsy store. My favourite is the Confetti Monster Envelope.

I think 2013 should be the year of the snail mail revolution! I urge you to sit down and put pen to paper and send something pretty to someone you love - maybe it's a postcard, maybe it's a thank you note. You never know what will come of it. Who doesn't love opening up their letter box and finding something gorgeous inside?

    I was just thinking how I should write to some family I have overseas, this is such a cute idea!

    Thanks so much for popping over to my blog, I hope you do get a chance to go to NZ, it is so close and convenient and still definitely gives you the sense of getting away from it all!

    Oh gosh my letter writing has slipped off the side of the planet, I really need to prioritise this in my life, especially when there is so much sweet stationery out there.
    I love your new shoes, the orange and yellow is so fun! Cant wait to read all about your Melbourne trip. I hope you got to see your little niece today.

    These are gorgeous, thanks so much for introducing them to us! I think I might've broken my 'no-online shopping for a month' promise already haha.

    You know I love her shop and blog! As for urging this year to be a snail mail revolution I completely agree! I think that is a great idea and I hope to more this year. x
