The good mail was flowing this week...
^ This beautifully decorated envelope arrived this week from Nicola in Scotland containing some very cute postcards.
^ An expectedly lovely letter from Melody.
^ A lovely tiny newspaper envelope from Rebecca. Does that postmark look a bit like a moustache to you?
^ Siobhan sent me a package containing the loveliest things. Gorgeous stationery, some fun UK history guides and two zines by Chanell Kristen which I was so excited to look through. I'll be sending you something this week lady!
^ A very sweet letter from Rashel.
^ Another great letter from Tejal. She wrote part of the letter on the back of these 'Worst Case Scenario' daily desk calendar notes - they made me laugh.
^ At last year's This Is Not Art festival I picked up a pack of these flat collaged 'Thicket' cards by Studio Racket for $5 a pack - I've been using them as postcards but I saw on their website that they are actually listed as a zine/puzzle and fit together - so I bought another set (I'd sent off a few of them in the first set as postcards) and put 'em together.
^ Wendy you shouldn't have! Lovely, newly-wedded Wendy sent me this great box of stuff this week including (my first!) little red Moleskine and a gorgeous red fountain pen. Too generous! I'm going to send her a big ol' care package after the move.
^ I saw these postcards in Frank & Dean's online shop and bought a pack of ten for $7. Gorgeous designs.
^ This may be the tiniest postcard I have ever received - it measures 10cm x 7cm. Why are tiny things so cute?!
^ An Escher for Sirpa.
^ I finally sent off my contribution to Pip's Envelope Project this week. I was having a really bad day when I took it to the post office and I got the particularly unpleasant post office attendant who just stuck an ugly sticker in place of a stamp on it and threw it into a bucket with other mail while I was watching and it looked a little damaged. I hope it arrives safely. If you've not sent anything to the Envelope Project yet there's definitely still time.
^ For miss Sophie B in Melbourne.
^ A fat little Escher envelope tied up with string for Carla in San Diego.
^ A first letter to Melissa in Georgia in a Cathy Olivas envelope.
While walking to the post office last week I noticed that a cafe near my house has a rack of free postcards and sneakily shoved as many as I could in my bag. I spotted these pretties sitting there too - the postcards I made for Bird In The Hand. I hadn't seen them in the flesh before and I like 'em;
How's your mail box?

Oh I'm so happy you like our (Frank and Dean) postcards! I'm giving away some more on my blog if your or your readers are interested http://verydarkhorse.blogspot.com/2010/06/giveaway.html
:-)
You get the best mail! :) Mine was filled only with an insurance statement and coupons today, sadly.
Yay!
Such a lovely set of incoming mail, B! =D
Eee I'm excited to get my letter now <3
goodness bee, you really are the girl who gets all the good mail! speaking of it, i'm doing my best to finish up a little mail experiment for you before you move because it's been addressed for a good while. look out for that within the next couple weeks!
those 'thicket cards' look SO neat! i'm gonna have to get some once the cash flow's a bit better. :]
the box from wendy is so awesome!! i really want to send you a parcel of pretty things, but i often find myself at a loss in what to include, haha. maybe before you move, i'll figure something out and get it sent off to you. <3
the frank and dean's PC's are so awesome!! oh my, i adore them so. australia post prices for international are kind of crazy though, i wish i lived there so i could order a lot more goodies than i do. seems to be that australian people are so much more creative and interesting with their postcards...not sure why. i'm sure it doesn't seem that way to you, but this is another thing that just draws me in more and more into wanting to come and visit/live in aus.
oh my oh my! that itty bitty postcard!!!!
of course, all your mail that you send out is wonderful and beyond brilliant. that package to pip is insane! haha haven't figured out exactly what i'm sending to the pip envelope project, but hopefully i will soon!
<3 <3 <3

It's nice to see my letter on here- personally I like seeing my mail on others blogs because it insures that the letter arrived safely.
Thanks for posting
