You Never Know Who You’ll Meet at the Post Office

I was mailing a few Etsy packages at the post office and the woman in front of me realized she didn’t have a piece of mail with her. She started frantically looking for it on the floor and went outside to look. She came back in and informed me she remembered mailing it earlier. Of course, I let her get back in front of me in line. I lose things too and know how stressful it is to lose an important document. The last thing you need with that stress is a rude person in line and to be moved to the back again.

Really, though, who has ever said, “No,” when someone asked for their place in line again?

Anyway, we started talking and I found out her name is Candace and she is a fellow Etsy seller! Although it must be pretty common to have multiple Etsy sellers in the post office at one time, I had never met one. I loved that we had that instant connection with our common love of handmade and vintage items. Here’s a little more about her shop, but I suggest you look for yourself!

Candace’s Etsy shop is called Rainy Day Joys because, “What could be better than a few quiet moments at home with a cup of tea, a good book or needlework project, and the sound of rain against the window while we are cozy inside?”

Here are a few of her hand-picked items:
