Mail Call

In recent days I’ve had the joy of getting some fun and original mail. There is no doubt that receiving mail- both expected and unexpected- is one of life’s simple pleasures. If you’re up for a challenge this February, you may want to consider The Month of Letters Challenge.

I love books and reading and bookstores A LOT! So imagine my delight when I received the above postcard from Rift Vegan. I even joined my first book club (online) and for January we read “The Sense of an
Ending” by Julian Barnes. Next up is “Bento’s Sketchbook” by John Berger.

This Edward Gorey postcard came from Emilie from Winnie’s Girl blog. She had been a recipient when I mailed my Gorey postcards last year and wanted to return the favor.

Finally, this lovely “J” collage comes from Limner. It arrived in a clear package that was also nicely decorated, but I didn’t take a photo. On the back of the J is a beautifully handwritten letter. What a wonderful idea and keepsake. The photo doesn’t do it justice, but even the quarter inch sides of the J block has writing and quotes on it. Unfortunately, the scanner couldn’t capture that and the camera is acting up (granted, this could be ignorance of a changed setting on my part.)
