OwlCrate Unboxing!

I was really excited to open my January OwlCrate box because I'm very sensitive to smells and I wasn't sure if any of the items inside would have strong scents that might affect me. But as soon as I opened the box, I knew it was going to be a great surprise.

As I began to sort through the contents of the box, I noticed a bracelet with a little charm on the front that had some text underneath it with a little bubble surrounding it. This wasn't the first time I'd seen jewelry like this before, and I have to say that it's really cool. The company that made it is called Authored Adornments, which seems like a great name for someone who loves books and reading. The bracelet itself was pretty and had a velvety kind of feel to it. But what caught my eye the most was the text underneath the charm - "Rapunzel, let down your hair". I've seen this phrase before in fairy tales, but I'd never thought about what it could mean in a more spiritual sense.

As I continued to sort through the box, I stumbled upon something that I initially thought might be a pillowcase or tote bag. But as soon as I took it out of its plastic packaging, I knew it was something special. It was a giant pillow case with a beautiful design on it that read "Once upon a dream". The artwork was gorgeous and colorful, and I couldn't believe how big the pillow case was - it was huge! I love the style and color scheme of this design, and I think it would look amazing in my apartment or school. I'm definitely going to put it up on my art wall.

The final item in the box was a gorgeous art print featuring Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. The artwork was stunning, with beautiful colors and a unique style that really caught my eye. I love the way the artist had captured the essence of the characters, and the colors were so vibrant and appealing. Even though I don't know much about art, I can tell you that this piece is definitely beautiful and would look great in any room.

Of course, no OwlCrate box would be complete without a new book to add to my collection. And what better book than "The Cruel Prince" by Holly Black? Unfortunately, I'd already read this book before and owned it already - but that didn't stop me from being excited about receiving another copy! The author's signature on the inside cover was also a nice touch, along with a little sticker that said "There's always something left to lose". Overall, I was really impressed with how much thought had gone into this box and the variety of items included.

As an added bonus, there was a note from Holly Black herself in the book, which was incredibly exciting. The design on the back of the book also included a little message that read "Sharpen your blade, heart". It's clear that Holly Black is someone who knows how to create a truly immersive and engaging story - even if it wasn't my favorite book. But I do understand why so many people love it! If you haven't already had a chance to read this book, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

Finally, there was a little newsletter included in the box that revealed some of the secrets for what's in next month's OwlCrate box. It turns out that next month's box will include an exclusive item from Evey Bookish, which is one of my favorite shops - I love their book-inspired artwork and designs! I'm really excited to see what they've come up with this time around.
