Send Good Mail, Get Good Mail

Hello again! Thought I would post some mail related photos.  First, I would like this "Princess Grace" fountain pen in my Christmas stocking, Santa. Please. (Only 72 sleeps till Christmas).
I received a letter in the mail this week from Pamela, who wrote four pages and tucked each page into an origami-folded wallet. The origami paper was a restaurant menu.  She is so clever!
I did a postcard swap with a gal from Finland, and she made her envelope from a shopping bag! What kind of paper are you using to make envelopes? I've used calendar pages, record album covers, thick scrapbook paper and turned security envelopes inside out so the printed design is on the outside.
She sent me a postcard of dancer Cyd Charisse and my favorite Sophia Loren.
 One of my all-time favorite postcards received is from Graphic Artist, Postcard Jim:
 
And one more favorite for ya:

    You have received beautiful mail. Also I have used shopping bags, calendar and magazine pages to make envelopes.
