Mail Week 47 (2/3) - Outgoing ❄

Here's the part two of this week's mail! 

Here are two things I've sent out this week (more in the part 3 haha :D) :

First a Coin Swap to the Netherlands, I sent three Finnish euro coins ↴ 

And I also sent an Instagram swap to Gülin in Turkey (Bursa♥) ↴

I sent her a lot of different envelopes & other stationary, chewing gum, tea and some tape which you can't really see because stupid me >_< (Gülin: I had to change the glitter to a flatter one because it was a bit too thick, I hope you don't mind ♥)

The stamps (I don't know what I was thinking when I put the left one like that haha) :) ↴

Ps. It's snowing also in my village now! I can't decide whether I like it or not. I like snow because it might make it look brighter and prettier outside BUT if the snow isn't going to last for long (which I'm sure it doesn't), there's gonna be slush. And a lot of it. And sleet. But let's just hope that's not gonna happen soon! :D Has it already snowed in your country/town? ❄

Tiger = Paradise (Haul!! ♥)

First to my penpals & others who I'm swapping with: I have received a lot of mail lately, probably also yours (Don't worry, it's just me being lazy :D), and I'll show them here tomorrow. Also, I've sent some mail but it'll take longer for them to arrive because of the strikes..

My number one favorite crafting store in Finland is definitely Tiger! You always find something that you just desperately need - even though you've never before even known that the item existed. Do you guys feel me? Does that ever happen to you? You just see something and you have know idea how you've lived without it :D So obviously I'm doing a little Tiger haul now, partly because I want to and partly because there's no mail coming in a few days because of the postal strikes in Finland.

Jee, välillä taas kirjoittelua suomeksikin! :) 

Eli Tiger on oikeasti mun ehdoton lemppari kaikista Suomen askartelu- ja tilpehöörikaupoista. Jotenkin mä satun aina löytämään sieltä asioita, joita en ennen edes tiennyt tarvitsevani.. :D Käykö teille koskaan niin? Kuitenkin, ajattelin nyt kirjoittaa pienen postauksen löydöistäni! Nyt kun ei postikaan oikein kulje, on kiva kirjoitella muista jutuista.

Also one thing that makes me love Tiger more is how the packages have those funny little texts on them, such as "Did you know that the average person spends 2 weeks of his/her life waiting for a traffic light to change?" or "A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." -Gandalf the Grey. ♥ 

Mä tykkään myös tosi paljon noista hauskoista pikku teksteistä pakettien ja pakkausten päällä, kuten "Did you know that the average person spends 2 weeks of his/her life waiting for a traffic light to change?" tai "A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." -Gandalf the Grey. :)

I might also like these cute shopping bags, just a bit ;) ↴

Address labels 1€ & (parchment paper) envelopes 2€  ✿  Etiketit, joista ainakin osaa ajattelin käyttää osoitteiden kirjoittamiseen (1€) ja ihanat pergamenttipaperiset kirjekuoret 2€ 

One of the impulse purchases, a DIY jigsaw puzzle (1€) . I have some potential using ideas for it, let's see which one I'll do :D  ✿  Palapeli, jonka voi itse koristella (1€ ). Mulla on muutamia ideoita, mitä tekisin sillä, mutta katsotaan nyt milloin saan inspiraation toteuttaa jonkun ideoistani :D

These tapes aren't from Tiger, I think I found them from Suomalainen Kirjakauppa (Finnish bookstore). They were something around 3€  ✿  Nämä nätit teipit taisin löytää Suomalaisesta Kirjakaupasta! Oli pakko ottaa, kun maksoivat vain 3€ ^^

And last but not least, small heart stickers (0.5 €) and tiny flags that I got for 2€ ✿ Pieniä sydäntarroja, joilla on kyllä aina käyttöä ja suomenlippuja. Tarrat maksoivat 50 senttiä ja liput 2€

Surprisingly, I didn't buy that much! :D But those were my latest purchasings anyway, I hope you liked them as much as I do haha ^^ See you again tomorrow! ✿ Ihme kyllä, en loppujen lopuksi ostanutkaan niin paljoa kuin yleensä! Toivottavasti kuitenkin tykkäsitte tästä lyhyestä esittelystä :) Huomenna siis taas palaillaan!

Goodies from Modes4u!! *___*

Sooo I ordered some stuff from Modes4u.com some time ago... And I got a bit over excited while ordering because the pile of the stuff was quuuite big *facepalm* But at least I don't have to worry about running out of paper for the rest of my life... or something :D

But I want to show you all the goodies I got!!

(At first I started to list the names etc of those letter sets but then thought it's too much work since I'm in a hurry writing this post... So if any of you are willing to know the details of some of these goodies --> feel free to ask me, I'd love to help!)

Here's all the stuff! ↴ :)

And then I wanted to photograph the letter sets in small sections, front and back! ↴

(I got also one notebook ^^) 

My faves are maybe those two mini letter sets, but I do love them all obviously. :D Is there something that catches your eyes?

They even sent me a little tape roll as a thanks-for-ordering gift thing! :3

I hope you liked this a little different post! See you! 

Lovely birthday present / package from Germany *__*

 Today is my birthday and it would be a huge understatement to say I was excited when I saw a package from Daria in my mailbox.. I think enthusiastically hysterical would describe it better. :D Anyway, the package was full of everything I absolutely adore! Thank you, Daria!!

I filmed the whole thing in three pictures! Below you can find more about them..

The first things that came out when I opened the package were a pink bow (I've said I love bows, right? :D) and other little goodies such as stickers and etc inside a cute mini plastic bag! Also some envelopes, lots of tapes (!! <3), paper, mini playing cards, a letter and adorable birthday card. ^^ 

Then there were cute stickers, a postcard, Blippo (love it!) key chain + another key chain, stationery which I love sooo much and some birthday tags inside a pink envelope. :)

And the last thing I got was this pinkish box which was full of glitters and even more deco tape *_*

Oh, and we can't forget the stamps, can we?

Hope your day was as magical as mine! :)

Floral letter from U.S.A

This week my mailbox has been very unhappy, I haven't received any mail... Until today. :)

Look at those stamps!! ↓

This beautiful floral letter is from Jade, California. I love it, thank you!! 

And I especially adore those Airmail-labels & the green hearts-in-jars washi :3

Giveaway prize from Thailand and a letter! :)

Osallistuin vuoden lopussa ihanaan arvontaan Lilyn blogissa ja yllätyksekseni voitin! Söpö paketti Thaimaasta saapui meidän postiin perjantaina ja mun oli pakko hakea se heti sieltä. Paikallinen posti on aika pieni ja tiskillä seisoessaan näkee kaikki paketit, jotka siellä on odottamassa hakijaansa. Katselin paketteja sillä välin, kun odotin vuoroani ja huomasin tuon puna-ruskean paketin ja ajattelin, että "Tuon on pakko olla mulle!" - ja niinhän se olikin. :D Kiitos paljon, Lily!! Paketista löytyi tosi paljon kaikkea ihanaa. jotka listaan postaukseen englanniksi. :)

I took a part of an amazing giveaway (here) in the end of December and surprisingly I won! This lovely package from Thailand arrived to our post office on Friday and of course I had to get it from there immediately. :D

It's my first time receiving something from Thailand and obviously I was super excited (still am, though). I really like those stamps (even though the ink of the post marks have smudged and it's hard to see for example that yellow-ish stamp)! :)

I got bunch of cool things and instead of filming all of them in one single pile I decided to take pictures of them in smaller groups or pairs. :) Firstly the box included these two snacks: Seaweed snack with a small bag of popcorn and octopus chips. I have to say that the package of that seaweed snack is just too adorable, I can't handle it!! I wish we had more packagings like that in Finland :D

Then there were Wasabi Coated Green Peas, Plum flavoured candy and Tom Yum Kung Pretz (spicy shrimp flavour). I already tasted those hard plum candies and they were actually really good, so tasty! And I think the packaging is also very pretty. ^^

Two adorable notebooks (Stitch and Rilakkuma), Frozen stickers, magnet and a card! 

And last but definitely not least, Fisherman's Friend (mandarin flavoured!), four Dilmah tea bags, lovely airmail envelopes, cute decoration tape (I must be very unusual person but it's my first time seeing that kind of tape - and I love it!) and Durian milk candies. Those candies are so cool! I was warned to 'eat and open them at my own risk' which obviously made me really curious haha. :D I haven't tried them yet but I surely will - soon! 

I 100% love everything! I wasn't expecting to get that much stuff so thanks again, Lily! :)

On the same day I received this pinkish letter from Daria, Germany! It included origami papers, stickers, tapes... Danke! ^^

Mail from USA / Postia USA:sta

Hey sweeties! :D

Here's a letter I received.. well, two or two and half weeks ago. I had forgotten to post it! I've already sent a reply too, by the way. I'll post it after a couple of days when I think it might be received.

So this pretty letter is from Jadey, California. Love all the colours, washis, papers and.. everything actually! :D Thanks, Jadey!

Funny stamps from USA! ^^ I took the picture by my white Christmas tree if you're wondering.. :D

That's all from now ~ See you soon with some more new mail! ^_^  

Letter from Daria / Kirje Darialta

Yay for 2015! I have quite a lot of mail to show you from last year (It feels weird to type that :D) and this letter from Germany is one of them. 

I love to start this year with you guys, let's make this the best year ever! :D

As I said, this adorable Christmassy letter is from Germany. I got it just a few days before Christmas and it was (still is) such a cute gift. :) I love the 3D bear, so cute! And that snowman stamp is also very cool :D

I love the way she always decorates her papers!

Thank you, Daria! I've already written you a reply so keep checking your mailbox. ;) See you soon with some new mail! ^^

Fourth day means a parcel to California

Hey! Today I'd like to show you this parcel that I sent to Jade, California. I was super excited to collect all the items to this parcel and of course to decorate it (which I'm pretty sure you're aware of ;D)! ♥

Here's all things that I sent:

There were chocolate (Fazer, of course), tissues, lipgloss, lingonberry shampoo, brochures, tape, glitter, a pen, brochures and a makeup bag inside the parcel. And the letter too of course! :)

Below you can see how I decorated the parcel. I went a little crazy, I know.. :D

This is the other side of the packaging:

I put a little surprise gift in(to?) the Finland-patterned makeup bag: a bracelet! ^^ 

I sent this parcel weeks ago, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise. That's why I'm posting this now. :) 

Hopefully Jade liked this little surprise and you guys enjoyed reading this post! ♥

Venäjälle & U.S.A:sta / To Russia & from U.S.A

Here's my latest mail! I've been super busy with school nowadays, but today I have time to update this blog. :) 

This first letter is to Olga, Russia. The envelope is made by me and I think it turned out pretty well. ^^ I can't spell Finland.. :D

And this letter is from Jadey, California. I LOVE that writing!! And I have no idea what happened to the color of the envelope in this picture. It's supposed to be black instead of grey.. But anyway, I love love love that letter. :3 Thank you!

Iso kasa postia! / Bunch of mail!

Heissan! Tänään postinkantaja toi meidän ovelle tällaisen hirveän kasan postia ja voitte vaan kuvitella, kuinka innoissani olin... Kuvasta ei näe kovin hyvin, mutta tuossa on yhteensä 7 erilaista pakettia tai kirjekuorta! :D Täytyy myöntää, että osa oli vain tylsiä lukiokirjoja, mutta ei se ainakaan mun intoa pilannut. ;) 

Mutta esittelen teille yhden noista paketeista, joka on Jadelta Kaliforniasta! 

Ihan mahtavasta paketista löytyi kasvonaamioita, Baby lips (!!), vihreällä teellä päällystettyjä keksitikkuja, ihana kukkakuvioinen paita, glitter-washiteippiä, juomapusseja ja snickers. :)

Lähikuva teipistä ^^

Thank you, Jade! I love it so much :)

Värikästä postia USA:sta / Colorful mail from USA

Tälläinen kirjekuori löytyi tänään postilaatikosta. Näin ensin vain kuoren takaa postilaatikkoa avatessani  ja ihmettelin, että keneltä se oikein voi olla. Kun käänsin kuoren, huomasin kirjeen olevan Jadelta Kalforniasta! Juurihan minä hänelle kirjeen lähetin O__o Ihanaa, miten nopeasti hän vastaa kirjeisiini! Ja vielä itsetehdyllä kirjekuorella! Kuori on siis aluksi taiteltu ihan normaalista valkoisesta paperista ja sen jälkeen laitettu täyteen koristeteippiä, mahtava idea mun mielestä :)

 

Kirjeestä löytyi kivoja papereita, Hello Kitty -nauhaa, kysymyslappu ystäväkirjasta (hän toivoo minun lähettävän sen sitten täytettynä takaisin) ja hauska yllätys: tuoksutikkuja! Oli kivan hajuinen tuo kirje, kun sen avasin :3

 

Nyt minunkin pitää varmaan ryhdistäytyä ja kirjoittaa hänelle heti takaisin :D

Joululahjat ja postikortti / X-mas presents and a postcard

Mahtavaa Uutta vuotta 2013 kaikille!

 

Viimeinen posti, jonka sain ennen vuoden vaihtumista on kortti Malesiasta. Voitte vain kuvitella kuinka iloinen olin sen saatuani! :D Postikorttini oli sittenkin mennyt perille!!! Tämä kortti on minusta todella hyvä lopetus vuodelle 2013 postin kannalta. Tässä kuva kortista ja postimerkeistä:

 

 

Tämän vuoden (tai siis viime vuoden) joululahjani olivat myös ihan parhaita! Sain äidiltäni, parhaalta ystävältäni ja kummeiltani ihanan postimaisia lahjoja. :)

 

Ensimmäisenä näytän iiison lahjan, jonka sain äidiltäni. Hän oli tilannut minulle Postcard Gardenista paljon kaikkea kivaa: Läpinäkyviä tarroja, 3 kpl erilaisia kirjepapereita ja -kuoria, 2 rullaa Rilakkuma-koristeteippejä ja Hello Kitty -muistilappuja. Pyysin äidiltä lahjaa Postcard Gardenista ja näytin hänelle osan noista saamistani tavaroista ennen Joulua. En tiennyt mitä niistä saan, mutta sainkin enemmän kuin toivoin! :D Nyt minulla ainakin riittää paljon postikamaa täksi vuodeksi.

 

 

Parhaalta ystävältäni sain myöskin yllätyksekseni kirjekuoria. Hän oli taitellut ne itse! ^^

 

Tämä viimeinen lahja, jonka esittelen liittyy ainakin jotenkin postijuttuihin. Sain kummeiltani pienen kassin, jossa oli lahjoja ja kassin pohjalta löytyi tämä kirjekuori. Kirjekuoresta paljastui Pelastakaa Lapset Ry:n kortti, jossa kerrottiin, että Bangladeshiin on lahjoitettu minun nimissäni rahaa yhden lapsen koulunkäyntiin! Ilman lukutaitoa hän ei voisi ikinä kirjoittaa kirjettä, joten minusta lahja oli tosi ihana! <3
