Last week Adam and I headed to the Redhead for some southern comfort food. Our dinner was delicious (they’re known for their bacon peanut brittle), but the real stand out was Serena, our lovely waitress.
a note for the upstairs neighbors
A few days ago Adam and I awoke to some heavy-lifting. Turns out, our upstairs neighbors were moving out. And today our new neighbors moved in. Or at least that’s what I’m speculating based on the noise from above.
I know many of the building’s four-legged residents by name, but regrettably very few of my human neighbors. I decided to properly welcome 8J to the building.
a pigeon + the letter writers alliance
I purchased a pigeon and am eagerly awaiting it’s arrival from Italy (perhaps he/she was a messenger for the papal conclave?). A pigeon friends! And because my feathered cohort’s arrival is delayed, the lovely ladies behind the Letter Writers Alliance sent me another membership. And along with it, a snazzy patch that takes me back to my Girl Scout days. The LWA is dedicated to preserving the art of letter writing — “neither long lines, nor late deliveries, nor increasing postal rates will keep us from our mission!”
thank you for Tarah
Adam proposed in November of last year. And in the four months that I’ve been betrothed, I’ve done very little to plan our wedding. Yikes! Luckily there are a few people in my life who’ve helped point me in the right direction, like Tarah.
get well wishes for Dad
My Dad had surgery on Tuesday–on both of his eyes! The poor guy has been laid up for a few days recovering. Nothing like a little get well letter love + some sweets to soften the blow of two swollen sockets.
encouragement for Emily
Facebook came on the scene while I was in college, but I didn’t join until a few years later. The best part? Connecting with people you’ve lost touch with… like your old babysitter. My childhood sitter found me through facebook and requested a letter for her daughter. How sweet and serendipitous is that?!
another thank you for andrea
Andrea has impeccable taste in all things, most especially, gifts for others. While antiquing last weekend she picked up a treasure–for me! I am so delighted. Someday, I hope this little ink pot turned card holder will grace the counter of a lovely paper shop. Fingers crossed!
a mini-letter and peanut butter cups for Adam
A couple of weeks ago, Adam was having a tough go at work. We had to cancel some plans and he was feeling blue. I called in the mailbox. I jotted a quick mini-note and included some peanut butter cups for good measure. Because you know, peanut butter cups make everything better.
a big thank you for Charlotte
Charlotte is one of the loveliest ladies I know. She has southern charm, a heart of gold, and lucky for me, an eye for sparkle. Charlotte kindly volunteered to show Adam the ropes when it came to selecting an engagement ring. Knowing a certified gemologist is a good thing friends! A very good thing.
a farewell letter to Ashley
Ashley is the little sister of my high school boyfriend. Over the last fourteen years, I’ve watched her home videos, attended dance recitals and chaperoned her scavenger hunt birthday party at the mall. I’ve adored her from the start and was delighted when she moved to New York in January 2010. Since then Ashley has made great strides in her career as a journalist, most recently accepting a job at USA today. It has been such fun watching her grow–I am just bursting with pride! A farewell letter and some New York essentials (read: black and white cookie) were a must.
