Going Postal: I Love a Happy Mailbox

Well, if there was a quiet spell for the mailbox,
things have picked up!

from Jacque
(thanks for the stamps, Jacque!)

from Annie in Maryland

 from Connie
and a lovely tiny envelope included with a stamp 
of the castle in my favorite city.
I love Edinburgh and wish I could attend just one more Fringe Festival!


from Penne
(friends, since the 7th grade; it still feels like a conversation in a college dorm room)


Outgoing:




Envelopes in progress--
'cause I have letters to write.  :)

    1. I really love getting letters, reading and thinking about them, and then writing a response. Funny, how you can sit down feeling you have nothing to say, then having the letter turn out longer than expected. I also love creating bright, cheerful envelopes and hoping that the mailman and the recipient will both enjoy them. :)

  4. I got a letter today! Yes, a real letter! I did not expect it, so it was a happy occurrence with good news from my cousin, so I will write her back. I normally just write on plain ole lined paper, but I've made some shorts for the grands and decided I'll decorate a little note to include in the box.

    Your mailbox is definitely a cheerful one. I'm jealous of that Edinburgh stamp. It has an interesting vintage look. I guess it's the castle that has the age, though. :-) Such color and variety in those envelopes!

    1. Isn't it rewarding to find a personal letter in the mail! And "yay" for cousins--I grew up with a beau coup of wonderful cousins. Have fun decorating your reply, Mary, it doubles the fun. :)

    1. :) My mail carrier is a man, and bless his little heart for delivering in his little mail van without air conditioning!
