I want to show you a card that deserves mention. No, it's not a belated Valentine's Day card, it's just a belated post. Remember the mystery sender who occasionally sends postcards with no name? Well, this sweet thought comes from the same hand. Thank you, Valentine. I would write back but you never include your address! Maybe one day? I smile when I see it because I can hear the Pillsbury Doughboy laugh. Do you remember this commercial? I do. Listen for the giggle at the end. Next up is envelopes within envelopes from Patty. This is brilliant. She tells me she didn't think of it herself but I know she's responsible for the cuteness of it. The back provides instructions. This is two envelopes joined by the glued flap to create a sort of folder. Tucked inside are smaller envelopes. She's given me a set of ten. If you receive a letter from me in a Halmark envelope you'll know you're in possession of one of Mrs. Duffy's exclusive envelopes. I just know there's something I can do with this envelope idea to pay it forward...but what? It'll come to me in a flash of inspiration...soon I hope. And finally, from one of my most avid snailers, COMICS! Now who wouldn't delighted to find funnies in the mailbox? I feel one of my story book envelopes is in order. I may not post pictures of everything I receive but. I enjoy every letter and card. Now go write a letter and brighten someone's day!

Now here is something completely unexpected. I got a letter in a bottle! I never would have thought to send a letter this way. Thanks, Jan! How did you even think of this? I will use this pen, definitely, and when the cartridge is empty I will refill it with Diamine Majestic Blue. As you maybe can tell from the picture, the nib is very fine and Majestic Blue is one of those inks that does not lose color when used in a fine nib. It is also a lovely ink with which to write letters. I know I will get a lot of enjoyment out of this pen and I have already given it a fair measure of sentimental value. Thank you, Jan!
