Details, Details, Details

    After much reflection on my lack of wrapping skills, (truthfully minimal reflection) I have decided that I love to receive a package, that is also lovely to look at on the outside!!( dear god, a long sentence)
    Just this week something was delivered to me ( love packages coming UPS!) in a brown box. No frills or bows, just to me, from Felix Doolittle ! I held it to my chest, thanking the stars above for this man.
    I hope you, the reader, are aware of his talents. I know that in the past seven or eight years of my blog, you know that I love this man. But most of all, I love his attention to details, and how he wraps the package.
    First he is a watercolor artist, who designs paper. Mailing labels, personal stationery, paper weights, the list is not long, it is just long enough.
     A pretty penny will be spent, its art, for heavens sake! Maybe twice a year, I have to order something.
     AND you know my style, one for you, one for me. His work is always a gift to myself. He soothes my heart. When you open your simple writing paper, it comes in its on personal box, as if you were Hemingway.

   This year, I ordered some small note cards with the very long gone typewriter on the cover. I also wrote a note, ( I always do!!) thanking Felix, and his store for making me so happy.

                                        

   This is the note, I found, when I opened my box.. This company is my favorite for so many reasons.

  These are my precious note cards, perfect and wrapped to perfection. ( do you now how hard it is to do watercolor this small?) ( go on his website, and scan all his choices, its like walking in a museum)
 I ordered something else, and it came wrapped! How did they know, I was so bad at wrapping, and that it was a gift?

They did not know, the attention to detail, comes with each item. Its as if, the gift was going to a king or queen. How did they know, it was! We are all royalty in some manner. Loved, respected, honored by many, so your gift should reflect that thought. AND..the lesson to me, is maybe I had better learn to wrap a present with some more love involved. OR.....pay my, number one, daughter to do it for me! Love sometimes comes with a price, I took her on a mommy/daughter date after she wrapped my gifts with perfection ( a little anal folding and matching stripes!) I bought things with love, had the good sense to find someone who wraps well, and rewarded her for being talented in this area.
   Thank you Mr. Felix Doolittle and company, for paying attention, being particular, and intricate. It means much to the person on the giving and receiving end. AND..if you are ever looking for a good employee, my number one daughter, has the talent!
Note...to daughter in law, queen Emily, please take me to see his shop in January!!
Merry Christmas almost.
