Thom Courcelle's packet of goodies

Opening Thom's envelope was a bit like opening a CARE package, filled with uplifting and unexpected things. First, there was Thom's envelope itself, painted beautifully in watercolor:

It's lovelier in person because my Mac Image Capture does a rotten job with orange. The starfish's markings are more a burnt orange on top with lighter and brighter orange underneath. …

Alicia Starr "delayers" her desk

Yes, this delightful piece was created by Alicia using scraps from her desk that she "couldn't quite throw away."
