I'm opening some Sparkle Mail in this video, but it didn't contain just any old shimmer. ✨It's dazzling with lots of the Royal Spirit & vintage #ephemera, courtesy of my sparkly friend River from @TheRiverBroadcast! ✨ I've had his recent Keepsake letter for a little while, but due to work stress in the States and having pneumonia on the heels of losing my sweet Stringbean kitty in January...I saved my envelope until I could fully enjoy the spectacle (meant positively & not the Megan Markle meaning). I also wanted to update my display of an old DIY Shadowbox filled with a previous gift of vintage ephemera and a personalized sparkly watercolor rainbow greeting card from a few years back. I'm so glad that I did because I could truly enjoy this precious gift from my friend across the pond. I also got a cool rhinestone and colorful shell-encrusted picture frame in which to display his handsome photo. I hope you enjoy a little chin-wagging as I regale you with how I came to know my "dear old fruit", as he says. In the States, we refer to that as "jawing". 👄
The pineapple presents as a prickly fruit with a coarse crown that hides the sweetness inside. Just as it takes patience to get to the juicy center of a pineapple, it takes courage to stand tall. Be the best version of yourself, even if it makes others uncomfortable. 🤴🏼 Wear your deliciously sparkly crown, Sparkle Squad! 👸🏼
