Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I kept it at Our Lady's Loom for the craftiness, but thought it should also be mentioned here. It is such a clever idea and it would be fun to brainstorm different ways to use it in nature study.

My mum hand-painted a mailbox for my youngest's birthday, a lovely nature story mailbox! And I just posted all about it: A Special Gift for Earlybird

I had to share this with you all, I am just so excited about it!

Thank you, Mary and Maria!

I wanted to let you know, we've had our first bit of news from the woodland via Chickadee Post!

I am really excited about this project! It should make for some fun winter nature study.

Dawn - visited your blog and saw your nature mailbox....I just love this idea for introducing treasures from nature to the little ones!!! I'll never be able to duplicate your mom's beautiful artwork, but I want to try to do something with the idea after Christmas! Thanks so much for the inspiration! Just beautiful!

The letter is adorable, and the craft to go along is perfect! As I said on your blog, Dawn, this whole idea is the sweetest thing, ever. You never fail to amaze me, dear.

I agree! What a wonderful idea, Dawn! I may attempt a version of this. I am thinking my oldest would also enjoy writing letters and filling the box for his younger siblings.
