last week, we received a package from the lovely and talented dana! dana is one of the most caring and sweet people i have had the privilege of meeting here in blog world. she has the most amazing positive attitude and is just beautiful, inside and out. once i saw the return address, i knew we were in for a real treat. and of course, once we opened the package, we were not disappointed!

look at all this loot!

i tried to take some close ups of the different goodies, but some pesky adorable hands got in the way. ;)

(the only non-toddler-hands-in-the-way pic) aren't these bookplates gorgeous? they hold matching bookmarks, too!

choi boy is slightly obsessed with l!ttle people. he alternates between putting them in containers, hiding them on his LP farm, and carrying them around in his mouth. he was SO excited when he saw that doggie. i named him rufus. fitting, right?

and last, but certainly not least, the sweetest part of the package, handmade goodness:

choi boy is fascinated by that helicopter button! i pinned it to the scarf and whenever he wears it, he plays with the button.

isn't dana amazing? you must, must, MUST check out her shop where you can find your own plumtree delights...trust me, once choi boy is big enough to wear 24mo/2T, the first item i'm purchasing is her robot tee!

again, so incredibly blessed by my friends...thanks for all the goodies, dana! we love them!
