Photo of the contents of a Goblin Dross package, all ready to be put in an envelope and mailed out. It includes a packet of peppermint tea, a shiny sticker that reads "wildly dreaming", a brown feather, a small white plastic figure of a woman in a dress, a round mandala-style sticker, several partially obscured art inspiration cards, a paper slip fortune from a fortune cookie, and a one of a kind one-inch button with a star and mushroom design - attached to a piece of paper that reads "navigate." There is also a brown paper envelope with "golden glitters" handwritten on its face, and a few gold heart confetti pieces sprinkled over everything. At the bottom right of the image is an illustration of a smiling pink goblin with white glasses and a purple hoodie, wearing flowers and mushrooms and a snail shell on her head.Close-up of two of the one-of-a-kind, handmade one-inch button fortunes. One in the background that reads "guard," and one being held up closer by a hand that reads "glimmer." At the bottom right of the image is an illustration of a smiling pink goblin with white glasses and a purple hoodie, wearing flowers and mushrooms and a snail shell on her head.

A quotation from John Adams

The Stream of Life sometimes glides smoothly on, through flowry meadows and enamellโ€™d planes. At other times it draggs a winding reluctant Course through offensive Boggs and dismal gloomy Swamps. The same road now leads us throโ€™ a spacious Country fraught with evry delightful object, Then plunges us at once, into miry Sloughs, or stops our passage with craggy and inaccessible mountains. The free roving Songster of the forest, now rambles unconfinโ€™d, and hopps from Spray to Spray but the next hour perhaps he alights to pick the scattered Grain and is entangled in the Snare. The Ship, which, wafted by a favourable gale, sails prosperously upon the peaceful Surface, by a sudden Change of weather may be tossed by the Tempest, and driven by furious, opposite winds, upon rocks or quicksands. In short nothing in this world enjoys a constant Series of Joy and prosperity.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Diary (1756-03-27)
