So while I’m decidedly a digital communicator, and while nothing beats in-person chats and conversations, I must say that I really enjoy receiving fun notes in the mail.
Snail mail. (I know. Antiquated concept. And no, I don’t know where the nearest post office is to my apartment…but to my defense I’m a digital nomad! I’m only in an executive apartment in NYC for another week!)
And I can’t say it happens all that often, receiving handwritten notes in the mail, but when it does… it’s delightful.
Adding another layer of delight are these “hello” envelope seals ~ great little greeting stickers.

Maybe these little deal-sealers will help inspire me to (locate a post office to purchase stamps and) mail a note!
How can you not feel love for a manifesto like this:
And my mom would LOVE to hear this bit– one of their services is to create MoodBoards which are basically collages specific to you space with suggested design tips, colors, textures, etc. (My mom’s been making MoodBoards for years…perhaps I can persuade her to post one!!)
Here is one of Kelly + Olive’s MoodBoards:
This makes me want to design something, paint a wall, recover a chair… of course I don’t think the executive apartment folks in NYC would like that much. *Sigh*
For now I will live vicariously through Kelly + Olive.
As I seem to have a slight addiction to creating collages on Polyvore.com, I decided to put this addiction to good use. So…here is my valentine collage to you! (Hey, it’s either this or a stick figure drawing of me sending hearts to you.) (Yes, I did send one of those out this year…)

Fantastic brief talk by Elizabeth Gilbert– “A new way to think about creativity”.
How often do we hear things like “increase productivity!” in business.? But sometimes, we need a break from productivity to reconnect with the simple things in life. Like creating a collage. Great way to express a mood…and be completely unproductive.
Apparently, today my mood is Parisian Happy Hour:
(If there was a way to properly embed this darn thing I would…it has a soundtrack and everything. Click through at the bottom of the image to experience the collage in all it’s snazzy glory.)
