Red, she said. And I was hooked.

Several years ago, when I first found out about blogs, there were a handful that I consistently went to for my creative "fix".  And one, that I stumbled across, that would become one of my faves (and still is) is Melissa Mccob Hubbell   I found everything about her blog delightful.  Even the name intrigued me.  The Garden of Pink Shadows. I loved the sound of it, romantic and beautiful.  Perhaps a quiet place to slip into at twilight, while sipping a glass of wine or a cup of tea.  You know, just a place to relax and take in the beauty.  And that's exactly what her blog is. 

 

She was one of the first Etsy shops that I ever ordered from.  And I still love to order from her.  You know me, I had to have this. It had me at the "red".  Lookit that cute little twine and that wee labels.  Yeah, can you say, "hooked'. 

 

Even the back of the package is adorable!  She sealed it shut with a letter.  Just too stinkin cute I tell ya.  I'm so into little details like that. 

 

This Schoolgirl Paper Packet was a must have.  Ever since purchasing this, 

well, I've just been in that "new crayons, new shoes, back-to-school" mode.  The only thing left to do is pick up one of the Fall clothes magazines and wait for the cooler weather to make it's way here.  Oh please, do hurry! 

 

I'm thinkin some sort of tag for the new supply tin is in order and that these goodies just might be the ticket for making that tag.

Well, I'm off to create.  And I hope you get to do the same today.  And do check out Melissa's blog.

I hope that you, like I was, will be delighted. 

Happy Wednesday.
