Biking to the post office

Over the past couple of days wrote a good handful of letters and put together some parcels to mail out!

One of those letters was to Laura, who is doing a postal exchange project where if you mail something to her, she will mail you back a little handful of things that she makes for the month. 

I wrote her a strange letter because inspiration struck to put together something at 3 am. Inside I included some ephemera. The ones pictured below are vintage advertisements cut out from a 1958 January issue of National Geographic.

I also included a photo transparency of Canada in 1957

After I finished Laura's letter, I had a good stack of things to mail out!

So I got out my trusty little town bicycle and headed off to the post office.

This week's incoming mail was from my penpal Coutney who lives in Sweden. The envelope was very creative and made with a clear plastic. 

I also cut out this cute stamp from a package that my dad ordered from Japan. I think it's so pretty!
