Miss Smith: . the pErfect strangEr projEct .

a very short month ago i spotted an interesting post on facebook via the very lovely oh comely peeps . titled ' The Perfect Stranger Project ' i was intrigued & wanted to know more . a simple click & i was reading about my perfect sounding project . in their own words . a box-swapping bonanza taking place across the globe .

it's such a simple premise . you sign up . you get paired up with a stranger . you prepare a box of things you love . you send it to them . & . at the same time they do the same for you . simples !

now who doesn't like getting presents ? actually . who doesn't like giving presents ? i lOve buying & giving presents . although i do have a tendency to agonise slightly over wanting it to be the very perfect gift . which begs the question .

how do you put together the perfect gift for the perfect stranger ?

you get the lovely option of writing a little note about yourself for your swap partner to see .

my note .

things i love . afternoon tea . art . baking . books . cake . coffee . cooking . fashion . flowers . fruit . glitter . haberdashery . knitting . museums . new york . paris . photography . reading . running . sprinkles . tea . travel . vegetables .

{ betting you could have had a good guess at all of those from this blog eh ? }

i was lucky enough to be paired with someone who'd also written a note . & . who is possibly my twin . living in the north of england !

her note .

Charlie ( girl ) .

Love . glitter . the smell of books . teapots . letters . kitsch, tat & all manners of crap .

Artist . baker . maker . letter writer . d-i-y-er . jumper lover . avid reader .

Hate . small pieces of torn up paper . being born in the wrong era . Radio 1 .

this really wasn't going to be too hard now was it . but it was sO so much fun .

. my box to my perfect stranger .
