my mother
has taught me
everything i know
about design
when i left
home for school
my mom got in the
habit of "tearing
and mailing"
just 1
image in
an envelope
that's it.
she still
does it.
and it means
the world to me.

how sweet she is.
thanks for sharing this, it's very, very beautiful...
I want to be a mom like this someday.
I heart your mom.
I heart your mom.
your mom sounds like an awesome lady... with great taste.
you's a lucky girl.
How wonderful, and surely much appreciated by your mom, that you would send this touching shout out to her.
As parents we hope that our little gestures are somehow ingested and absorbed. A word of encouragement, a little something in the mail, a common moment shared. It is all a part of what we do as parents to help our children ease toward their goals and dreams.
You have good fortune to have one of the most caring, dynamic, attentive and wise women on the planet as your "in the pocket" guide! And as a result of the collaboration you, Lee, have become a woman to be admired!
Love you Both to Pieces! xxooLynnda
Oh! Thanks for sharing this.
I love this habit of your mom. I like the boots too!
wonderful. i love mothers.
Nice. When my mom visits, she sometimes sticks tiny notes in my pockets to find later.
wonderful -- and I love the boots, too.
The grown-up version of my mom's love notes/thoughts/jokes written on napkins in my lunch in elementary school. Nice touch Lee.
so sweet!
i love this post....and all the comments. We should all treasure our dear mothers for their efforts big and small!
i love this...i'm going to have to "borrow" your mother's genius and lovely idea for my own girlies when they are older.
so inspiring.
simple stories like these make life...
Thank you for sharing that. It touches me.
i'm a tear and mailer too.
I'm glad i'm like your mom.
Thanks for sharing something so intimate and touching. The littlest gestures such as this make for a better world, don't you think?
You are very lucky.. that is the sweetest thing ever. I absolutely need to remember this if I have daughters someday.

i love little projects like that.
its such a small thing that can really make
your day and make you happy.

(sigh. my parents are not into design at all
so they don't get me at all)
