![]() I was delighted (is delighted too weak a word?) to find a stuffed mailbox Saturday. I have been showered with mail art offerings and goodies. All I can offer at the moment is a sneak preview because my daughter took the camera with her on an adventure. Details will follow when she returns in a few days. There are some honorable mentions in this stack that mail artists will find inspiring. So, until then write a letter and make someone's day!

![]() Remember the envecordion? Meet its cousin, the very long envelope, courtesy of Jan. Really, it needs a better name than "long envelope." Perhaps after my tea I will think of something more clever and edit this post. The extended envelope (is that a better name?) is for the letter writer who's letters are simply too long for a single envelope or for the writer who wishes to save trips to the post office by mailing a week's worth of letters at the same time. They can be labeled Monday through Friday, Saturdays being reserved for parcels. Wouldn't it be wonderful to receive a week's worth of love letters packaged in such a marvelous way? The third category of person to use such an envelope is the creative pen pal seeking to delight a friend. (I think it will work!) I sit now on my front porch enjoying what remains of the morning and my cup of tea. Soon I will be driven inside by heat, it's already getting warm but I will enjoy this moment regardless. I am hoping the mail will come soon. I have ordered stamps online and they should come today. This is a brand new thing for me so of course I am eager for the mail carrier's arrival. I saw a mail truck drive by but no sign of the mail man just yet. I also have some Crane stationery on order. If it doesn't arrive today I will have reason to lie in wait tomorrow which, of course, would give me something to look forward to. Hopefully, deliveries will be in the morning. I may have a childish excitement about mail but I am never so eager as to wait in the 104 degree heat. (I'll just sit inside peering out the window.) |
