It is the little things in life.

It seems as though any more I shop online. And if I go to the mall or boutiques it is to go help someone else shop and make decisions. So when an online retailer sends merchandise nicely packaged, it really makes my day.

Example: quite some time ago I started ordering from Net-a-porter. The arrival of the nice black box with the black tissue and white ribbons is like Christmas. Then I recycled the box and used it at Christmas. (of course it was wrapped.) I told Julie about it and she ordered a dress just to see if I was telling the truth. She got same delivery at her law office in Manhattan and was giddy with excitement over the whole experience. Those are great days when the black box arrives.

My birthday present from Ed finally arrived today from England. He ordered my items from Agent Provocateur. I will not be sharing what was in the box, but I will share the box.

So pretty. My two favorite colors, too.

Ed buys the nicest surprises.
