I absolutely LOVE participating in CaraBox with Kaitlyn @ Wifessionals and I got paired with two amazing girls this time! The theme this month was “Let’s get regional” and I’m a HUGE fan of my home town and my home state so this was so exciting to me!
I sent my box of Mississippi goodies to Carly @ The Pinot Project. I haven’t seen her post up what I sent her yet, but she’s so sweet y’all, so check her out!
I received my box from Jessica @ Wonder What’s Next and she’s from West Texas, so she got me some fabulous goodies and I’m excited to share those with you today.
A tumbleweed- I have NEVER seen this before, so this was interesting and I’m excited to use it for some kind of craft project or decoration
2 Bottled Cokes- I love bottled cokes and she got these from a cute little general store in her home town
A CD- This has some great texas country on it!
Red Raiders Shirt- Her favorite team
2 Reeses- Because she obviously knows the key to my heart!
Funny story… She wanted to send me some wine from a local winery, but later found out that you can’t ship wine, it’s illegal. So she tried to have the winery ship me some, but they don’t ship to Mississippi (really!?) and so she had to scratch that plan all together. She felt terrible about it, which she shouldn’t have, because it wasn’t her fault. To make up for not being able to send me the wine, she got me the glass bottle cokes and an extra reeses!
Jessica, thank you for the wonderful CaraBox gifts, I love them!
I loved being partnered up with these 2 ladies, they have been a joy getting to know!
I had no idea shipping wine was illegal… so I had to look it up! Looks like it varies by state…and Mississippi it is prohibited.

This is so neat! A cool way to share with others about where you live. Such a fun idea 🙂
I still feel like such a dunce over the wine incident! The postman leaned across the counter and whispered, “You can’t ship wine, honey. That’s illegal,” while shaking his head in a “bless your heart” kind of way. I think he’s the biggest reason I was so embarrassed! BUT… I’m really glad you liked your stuff. 🙂
I know, it is so weird that Mississippi is one of those states that doesn’t ship wine! Like… ever! Haha!
This is such a fun idea! Love what she sent you… And who knew you couldn’t ship wine?!
