Quick Mail Post

Two incoming, two outgoing.  All interesting.

Here is a postcard of a painting by John Constable in 1821 of a river near Suffolk, England.  The story behind the card is that it is from the National Portrait Gallery in Trafalgar Square in London; my penfriend Gemma popped in the gift shop while running an errand for work and posted this to me!  Thanks, Gemma, and I won't tell your boss.
The talented Elle from North Carolina sent me this handmade creation, which includes an awesome handmade stamp!  Thank you, postal service, for not canceling this one.   
I sent a long overdue and rather patriotic letter to Miss Bianca in Tasmania.  The envelope was fashioned from a record album cover that I found at a thrift store.  I just noticed that Bianca changed the header on her blog -- beautiful!
For this mask-shaped postcard that went to a Postcrosser, I used a flyer that was advertising a Mardi Gras party in downtown Chandler.  I attached an adhesive postcard backing and it made quite an interesting shaped postcard!


I hope your mailbox is happy this week!

  1. Aww, thanks for noticing my new banner Garci :) I thought I'd try something new. Look out for a makeshift postcard sometime soon - I wrote you something while on the plane last week :) As always, very much looking forward to your lovely letter. Hope you're well x
