This week lovely 'brown paper packages perfectly tied up with string' arrived from the wonderful world of Etsy. I bought a beautiful reusable Christmas advent that has been upcycled from antique linen. It is simply charming. I have been thinking of twenty-four perfect ways to put it to good use! Mr.Principle ordered me some of those labels I had wished for. They were well worth all the wishing. I have a few pleasurable things to use during his two-week stint away...yet again! I am not complaining, wait, I am complaining, two weeks alone, three kids, West Africa...

Nothing a little Esty~loving won't cure!

I hope packages of charm show up for you today.
