A Vial of Fortune

Yesterday, I told you about the

Benevolent Postcard Society,

where I am a member.

We keep the art of letter-writing alive.

We meet new friends from all over the world.

We express our creative side.

All through a postcard.

Today, I'll show you one of the postcards I assembled.

It started with these wise words from fortune cookies.

{I'm guilty of regularly ordering Chinese take-out!}

There are some fortunes that I agree with.

There are some that rang true in some points of my life,

for example, "You will travel to new places".

Maybe that's why I collected them.

But it was time to share my good fortune.

So I put them in this vial

{It's originally packaging for a make-up brush

that I just embellished.}

Tada! A vial of good fortune.

Then I wrote a short letter at the back of this

postcard that I got from Hong Kong.

Yes, I had a little "Chinese" theme going on,

even if fortune cookies did not originate in China.

I put these in an envelope and mailed it to Jane

and she kindly sent me this e-mail:

Hi Claire

I got your lovely package in the mail yesterday - thank you!
Such a lovely treat to come home to on a Friday, after a long work week.

That vial of good fortune brought the biggest smile to my face.
Thanks & Happy March!

Jane
