^ Jayme McGowan.







^ A fantastic package from Linsey in Oklahoma. She included a red Keel's 'Simple Diary' which I have been writing in each day. It's not a conventional journal and gives you (often bizarre) kind of mini-prompts, like in the above picture. It's certainly easier to keep than a conventional journal. I'm quite enjoying it. She also included a Le Pen and a bunch of other goodies. So generous! I loved it.

^ Definatalie sent me a bundle of her lovely Avantcard postcards in this beautifully decorated vessel.

^ An as always delightful little letter from miss Bella.


^ A thoroughly enjoyable, colourful missive from Debbie in Western Australia.


^ My sister sent me this apron and it made me laugh. I am so going to wear it every time I cook. Dungog is the town where I went to high school and where my sister still does. The cards are lovely too.


^ Molly sent me this gorgeous postcard and wrote some very insightful things. Totally lovely.

^ I think this tissue-letter is my pal Min's way of telling me my letter back to her is long, long overdue. Haha. Promise to write soon!

^ Just thought I'd include this envelope as it contained a cute letter from my Nanna.



^ For 'Snail Mail Aficionado', miss Jessica.


^ An envelope collage for sweet Fatima in Bahrain.



^ An overdue letter for lovely Angelia, a thoroughly enjoyable letter to write.



^ A bundle of bits for Canadian lass, Zoƫ.





^ This little package isn't actually from me, it's from C to Jane for the Mix Share Swap, but he was taking too long to send them so I made the envelope/cd decor. He did make the mixes though :P I tried to make the track listing look like a receipt.

^ Postcards for Lauren.

^ Postcards for Linda.

^ Postcards for Rusty.

^ Postcards for Corinne.


^ Postcards for Linda 2.



^ A long overdue letter for Ilona/Missive Maven. Hope she digs it :)

^ I included this postcard in my letter for her, however I'm not sure that I agree.



^ Book Depository took a bunch more of my money in exchange for these two lovely boxes of postcards - McSweeney's 'Greetings From The Ocean's Sweaty Face' 100 postcard box and 30 'Wanderlust' postcards. They're too lovely. There isn't a single postcard I don't like in either.

^ Some postcards from the Ocean's Sweaty face box.

^ Some of my favourites from the Wanderlust box.

Oh my goodness, so much to say! I looooove seeing all this mail, in and out. You are a mighty talented mailstress! How cute are all your letters and packages??? Also: I spied a BABYSITTERS' CLUB CARD in one of them . . . amazing!!! Claudia, haha! And your letter to Conyers, GA . . . that is so close to where I grew up (in Marietta, GA). <3
ReplyDeleteyay! I'm so glad you recieved my letter!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you know my blog address changed?

Love those mixed CDs! Not only the fun packaging you did, but also the song picks! Saw some interesting tunes there.
ReplyDeleteAlso, awesome postcards! That Wanderlust book of postcards looks fab. :)
What amazing mail you send and receive! Lucky thing!
ReplyDeleteLove the track listings. :) I thought they were receipts until I looked closely.
ReplyDeleteI have the Keel's diary too! (and it's red!) I fill it out every other night before bed. The prompts are strange/hilarious and this makes it hard to relate back to my day.
The postcards you bought look awesome. Book Depository takes a lot of my money too, cheaper than Australian RRP AND free shipping. Win, I say.
Oh, did you know that your name means 'white' in Italian?
a letter from your nana? that warms my heart!
ReplyDeleteI've stumbled onto your blog and I've just fallen in love! I'm a relatively new blogger and recently I've started doing mail swaps with some online friends and I've in love completely with snail mail!!! But seeing these gorgeous packages makes me swoon, you are so creative!
ReplyDeleteThose postcards set look amazing and I simply adore postcards! I'm so happy I came across your site, it's so inspirational and maybe one day I can do mail with you too <3
Love from France!

Wow, I am so behind in my blog-reading (and blogging, and letter-writing, and letter-READING) that I have only just read a slew of your entries today. Congrats on the new abode!!
ReplyDeleteIt was delightful to see a letter you have sent to me, I totally look forward to reading it - but this bit is downright eerie, because another pen pal previously sent me the epistolary personal postcard (I got it in June) and I blogged about it today. Then I just read your blog entry where you sent me that postcard. Enter twilight zone theme... Lots of synchronicities going on!
these are pretty much the coolest things in the world, you have such a good eye for this kind of thing, very creative! who wouldn't want to get that in the mail!?

ReplyDeleteDo you know that there's also a bookdepository.com version next to the co.uk one? Prices may vary ,so I always check both.
