playlists + a giveaway: with dawn correspondence

oh the joy of the handwritten note!
it's a simple delight that just thrills me.

and i love pretty notes + cards + stationery to craft my little words onto.
{keep reading... you can win some!}

with the season of love notes fast approaching (i like to think it's that season all year round!) i'm especially fond of lovely handmade stationery shops: like the wonderful dawn correspondence!

& i'm oh-so-fond of her endearing byline: *reviving the art of love letters!*

here's to that revival!
ah, love letters!

so i asked amanda to share with us some of the music she also loves!
hope you'll enjoy her fun playlist!

in her own words: i love taking road trips. nothing beats a carefree drive with friends and loved ones when the weather starts to turn warm and the sun is shining. road trips make me really happy and, in my mind, are the epitomy of freedom, youth, and happiness as we explore the unknown with those we have the most fun with. for this reason, my road trip playlist is chock full of songs and artists that make me really happy. some of them are classics that bring back fond memories of past road trips, and some are not-so-old tunes that are fun to laugh and sing to. i also like the mix of popular artists with somewhat indie artists - it makes me feel more musically cultured. i also love to play my road trip playlist in the cold of winter when there are no road trips planned - it lifts my spirits, and makes me want to sing and dance and begin planning a springtime adventure!
