I have been sending a lot of mail to my friends this month. Some, are to local friends, and I am sending a gift just because. Others are friends that moved far far away from me, and a care package from home is in order. Mail from home is the best when you move far far away. I just wish Canada Post wasn't so expensive.
The last photo is a postcard I letterpressed on Sunday! My friend and I took a letterpress curiosity workshop, taught by Tanya (who, is having an exciting giveaway right now!). But more on the workshop in another post. I have to send this to Norway.
love the letterpress postcard & your package decorations!
ReplyDeleteceline, your snail mail is adorable! and that blue "bonjour!" is major!
ReplyDeleteI love mail and care packages. I agree though, Canada post is outrageous! It cost me $28 to ship two small bubblepacks to MB. :(
ReplyDeleteLOVE those envelopes/package! Adore the penmanship on #3.
ReplyDeleteThat first one though, would never make it through the U.S. mail -- the pretty string would get hung up in the automated sorter.
Real paper post is just the best. Writing letters feels so personal too... but you're right about the cost. Still, it's worth it for the novelty of receiving something unexpected and lovely through the letterbox!
ReplyDeleteI need some pretty stationary...
beautiful packages!
ReplyDeleteI miss getting more nice mail in my mailbox...
hope you had a great time at the lettepress!! your card looks so awesome! definitely want to see more! I love your packages too! I just ordered some baker's string from etsy that is red and white twisted! Can't wait to use it.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the letterpress?! I am really jealous. I want to learn how so badly!

Oh these are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoh... i love your packing skills, i should spend more time writing letters and sending presents, email is a dull thing.
ReplyDeletewhat great little packages! i like how they have so much care into them
ReplyDeletethese are all so lovely!!
ReplyDeletei've got the same postal stamp set ;) and I love the envelope seen in the second last image!! very nice!
Yowsers! Each of these letters are special because they are each beautiful in their own way. I imagine anyone receiving one of these would feel very special.
ReplyDeleteThese letters are so beautiful and adorable!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I would say my favourite would be the third envelope.
I love the writing!

Sweet, I can stalk all your friends now.
ReplyDeletesuper cute packages!!
ReplyDeletecute. i like them all, but the second to last the most! :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous! what lucky friends you have!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading a book called The Letter Opener (uh, I think that's what it's called - by Kyo Maclear)...anyway, it reminded me of the "lost" art of writing letters and how I'd love to bring it back in my life. Glad that someone is still making pretty packages!
