snail mail time

Gibraltar has just celebrated their 20th year of being free.  much hoo-ha (both social and political) was made amidst the fireworks and the time and tested-- releasing of balloons.  i am crossing my fingers that those balloons are environment-friendly though...

well, also in the middle of all this hoopla was a package from a very dear good old friend of mine from the States who sent me this lovely wall decor in the style of a book with these magical words written on them.  its the sweetest thing there is in my garden :)
also in the package was this tiny, tiny book about tiny, tiny homes :)  its hilarious! but soooo cute and perfect for Gibraltar (one of the most densely populated places in the world with 13,000 people living per square mile!)
i am ending this post earlier than usual because i am aching all over due to the fact that the mister and i went to a Jessie J concert and danced our hearts out the whole 4 hours non-stop!  more on that on my next post :)
