Not long after I started this blog, April commented on one of my posts and suggested that we exchange letters. So, an e-mail or two back and forth, and my letter was on its way to California.

Last week, I received my first letter from April, along with a photo of their family and a very special gift of some very beautiful earrings (see the photo). April told me a little about her life and family. She has a couple of blogs,
Double Happiness and
Secondsister Suaviloquy. She also has an Etsy site where she sells her beautiful jewelry,
SecondSister. Be sure to stop by her blogs and her shop!

Another blogger favorite of mine, Tameka at

The Buzz has posted a feature on this 365 Letters blog on
The Buzz. If you'll look through her archives, you can read profiles on many other artists, too! This month she also posted a collection of her favorites from Etsy in honor of Black History Month -- it's a wonderful selection! Be sure to visit her Etsy shop,
Pretty in Peace, too.
