Because there is nothing like receiving sweet gifts during a truly crappy week.

Something my sister painted for me:

(Dear sister, I love this painting. It calms me. I shall hang it in my office because I don’t want to share it with the world. Also, I am glad that you’re painting again. I took up  drawing as a kid because you were so good at it. Who knows, I might follow in your footsteps once more now that we’re already adults.)

Miniature lovelies and stickers from Krissy:

(Dear Krissy, these mini treats are as sweet as you. They look perfect in the Alcott Study, don’t they?)

And this solar lamp and funny book from Chin, Slayer of Krakens:

(Dear Mistress Kraken-Slayer, Uzi LOOOOVES the lamp. Did I tell you that he’s obsessed with all things illumination? The book is very funny and precious, too. Thank you.)
