This wonderful little parcel was sitting in my mailbox and I was so happy to see the multitude of stamps that covered it! In the letter that Laura included, she said that the little piece of mail that I sent her covered with stamps inspired her to decorate her outgoing mail with assorted stamps too! Oh my that made me so so so happy. On the back, there was a little disclaimer to open the parcel very carefully, so I was very curious to what I might find inside.
What I totally did not expect was this wonderful assortment of her art! The paper that made up the parcel was actually a poster of her art titled "The Sand-Dig." SO COOL!
She also included this amazing zine titled "Summed Staples"
Inside the zine were recipes that sounded so comforting and delicious and beautiful illustrations of the creators of the recipes and things that capture the essence of summer for her.
Some of the pictures had titles of songs to go along with them.
Those songs would be found on the mix cd that Laura also included! Everything was so beautiful and the folky relaxing tunes in the CD reminded me of hot summer evenings.
Along with the "Summer Staples" zine was this beautiful accordion style zine titled "Canada Day Parade"
I wanted to share the magical feeling of opening the zine, so I hope that short video did it some justice! Haha. Anyway, everything that Laura sent was amazing and is probably one of the most thoughtful mail I've received up to date. Her response to my silly letter written at 3 am made me think a lot about the topics we discussed. Although this post is a little late, and I've replied back to Laura a couple weeks ago, I hope we can continue to exchange mail in the future!
The poster she sent hangs proudly on my recently constructed wall o' cool stuff!
you can probably spot out some of the things that are on the wall that I blogged about haha.
Also, one of my friends had a chance to meet Natasha Allegri, the creator of the comic/animated short series Bee & Puppycat, and had her sign a limited edition copy of the first issue for me! AHHH! It proudly hangs on my wall o' cool stuff.
That's it for this blog post. There's so much more mail that I should post about soon but since school started and a good chunk of my time has been taken. I also have been working too, which takes up most of my other free time too (; 3 ;) but I will try my best to post more soon.
