If you love letters...

I found a neat website called:

http://www.allthisismine.com/

Sugene has a unique selection of stationery and also a cool "pen pal pack" that has an assortment of cool stickers and envelopes. I have never read a "zine" before (which is an inexpensively produced, self-published, underground publication) but the issue #12, "The Letter Writing Issue" seemed intriguing, so I received it today and read it cover to cover. It's like it was written just for me! Anecdotes, envelope-decorating, fountain pens, letter folding, and some great vintage information from correspondence from years ago. You should check it out.

Mail Call

Keeping the U.S. postal service, particularly in South Chandler, very busy...
Incoming (over the past couple of weeks):Look at the Mail Art! Octo-Queen Mum on the left, a 3-D envelope from England, and an original art postcard with Queen Elizabeth!My postcrossing account says that I would love to receive purple or lavender postcards. Ask and ye shall receive!Here are stamps from Japan (note that some are purple!) and a Hello Kitty!
Beautiful stamps from Russia:
Always awesome stamps from Finland. The middle stamp is a "Moomin," a very popular cartoon art character.
I took a picture of (and then somehow lost) my outgoing mail pile, which was a book, a small parcel to Japan, thank you card for a work colleague, numerous postcrossing postcards, letter to my Great Aunt and letter to my friends in Colorado. It was quite a huge pile of outgoing. Check your mailbox because something may be coming your way!

Monday Cuteday

During my daily blog reading, I stumbled upon a website of a brilliant artist in New Zealand. I looked at all of her illustrations and they made me smile! I think you will enjoy the ones I am posting here, from:
