Recently I came across an all too affordable stationery set and bought it. Why not, I thought. It's a break from my standard paper. The paper in this set is okay but the envelopes are a sickly green color. I should have paid better attention to that before putting it in my cart. Earlier today, looking the stack of mail to go out I lamented sending something so unbeautiful to people who have kindly sent me lovely things and took an extra minute to write apologies on the outsides before mailing. I still have a few green envelopes left and because I am waging war on waste I intend to use them. This means I have a few more apologies to write but I am looking at this as an exercise in good humor and not taking myself too seriously. So, should you receive a green envelope with an apology from me but like the color, forgive me my contrary tastes.

Funny thing is, one of your recipients might just like that color. You never know.

Or you could use them for a mail-art project and decorate the daylights out of them thereby covering most of the color, or using the color to advantage. Anyone can collage,ink stamp, or thoroughly sticker an envelope. Go wild and have fun, just be sure to leave a space for the address and postage or plan on using some sort of label.

Or I could decorate them with postage! You've reminded me of a letter Mr. Duffy sent me years ago. It was covered with one cent stamps. I wonder if my envelopes are big enough for that many....
