Happy Mail Swap
The lovely Jocelyn from The Reading Residence sent some bloggers a challenge this month. To swap a box of happy mail with another person, you can read all about the challenge here. But, the idea is to send a one off piece of correspondence – a happy box – to a person that Jocelyn assigns to you and you each send each other something lovely in the post. Just because.
I adore the concept, who doesn’t love receiving something lovely in the post? I was assigned a lady called Lizzie from Marmalade Pie.
I decided to send Lizzie a bit of a pamper box, we all need a bit of pampering every now and then but with busy lives barely get the chance.
As it is a #bringbackpaper challenge, there needed to be stationery (naturally).
Items to relax with.
I also love the opportunity to use my lovely Cath Kidston writing paper set.
Boxed up and ready to go. I really hope the wine and the candle survive the post ok!
I have already received my lovely package from Lizzie (thank you Lizzie). This was what was in my super parcel.
So from left to right, a bookmark, a gorgeous set of Emma Bridgewater post-it notes, a set of mini pens which will be fab for my handbag, some chocolate, a rubber in the shape of a ring and some seeds.
I am particularly fond of the Emma Bridgewater notes set and the dinky little pens. I am not very green fingered, so I hope I don’t manage to kill the seeds, but I will enjoy planting them with my son.
Thanks so much for my package Lizzie and I hope you like yours. I really like this idea and the Stationery Swap I did earlier in the year and hope to do it again. Thanks Jovelyn for arranging.

Lovely Stationery swap. 🙂
Thanks I was chuffed with my goodies 🙂
Everything looks fabulous! I love running these swaps, as as well as loving putting my package together, I get to see how lovely everyone else’s are, too! Glad you’ve enjoyed it x Thanks for sharing with #PaperyPeep
I think it’s such a nice idea and always lovely to receive happy mail 🙂
Wine and stationery, what a great combo! Nothing like a good snail mail swap to get you to the mailbox in the morning. Visiting you via #paperpeep linkup.
Exactly everyone loves wine and stationery surely?! Thanks for stopping by Barb x
Gorgeous swap items, that’s given me a good reminded to get mine packaged up and posted out tomorrow! Thank you. x

No problem I hope you got some fsb swap items too?
Lots of loveliness in both packages Laura! Gorgeous stationery 🙂 #paperypeep
Thanks Carol, I do love happy mail 🙂
Looks like you were both on the same wavelength – lots of papery goodness with some pampering thrown in, what’s not to like 🙂 #paperypeep
Exactly lots of happiness in a parcel 🙂
Hello Laura – thank you so much for my gorgeous pamper box! It’s so thoughtful and I’m thrilled with – everything survived intact. I’m glad your parcel arrived safely – I hope you enjoy it! Just sprinkle the cornflowers over a bare patch of soil and something should happen xx
Thank you so much for my parcel too Lizzie and I am so glad you’re thrilled with it. I will give the cornflowers a go 🙂
What a lovely box of prezzies!
I sent my package off last week for the post challenge and mine was decidedly chocolate based.
🙂 There was a little bit of stationery in there but mainly chocolate. Maybe that’s saying something about what I like.
Nothing wrong with lots of chocolate! That sound like a fab box 🙂
