| I really enjoy making envelopes. Nothing is sacred. These are from an Edible San Francisco magazine. I read it first, of course. |
 |
| These guys are from the free cooking magazine they give away at the Japanese Supermarket. |
 |
| And, of course, the ever popular take-out menu envelopes. |
 |
| Yes, I have been working on catching up with some of my outgoing. These going out to Annejo in The Netherlands, Isabelle in France and to Garci. |
 |
| Some lovely incoming on Monday..... |
 |
| Biggest surprise of all on Saturday - a gorgeous hand sewn portfolio from Cecelia. |
 |
| Here it is opened up - isn't this beautiful? |
 |
| Here's the Give-Away idea -- since I love making envelopes, I have quite a stockpile of them so I thought I would give away a set of ten different envelopes. Just leave me a comment and on Thursday (the 21st) I will randomly pull a name out of a hat to see who will get them. I have menu envelopes, comic envelopes, typewriter envelopes...I'll pull one from each set. Ready, set -- get busy and write a letter -- but don't forget to leave me a comment first if you want a shot at some of these envelopes. Happy Mail Day. |
Must be a giveaway day!!! That envelope on this post is in my hands and opened, thanks sooooo much for all the goodies. Our Japanese market in Somerville closed so I can't go get all the seaweed goodies I used to with my friend whole lived in Japan for two years. We would make an adventure and have wonderful food at the Japanese restaurant next door. Miss it... I have lots of mail and collage uses for these goodies, you will see some no doubt! xox Corrine

I LOVE the dandelion envelopes. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff here today (and always!) That portfolio is beautiful and I'm very intrigued by the piece of mail made from woven tickets.
ReplyDeleteYour envelopes are so inspiring! Really like the Edible San Franciso ones. And I *love* the sewn portfolio from Cecilia - absolutely charming! Hmm, I think I need to go make some envelopes...
ReplyDeleteThat portfolio is so beautiful! What a wonderful gift!
ReplyDelete(You don't have to enter me into the contest btw because I think shipping would be high for all those envelopes and I already get such lovely ones from you :-))
Oooo I would love some and hope that you could find it in your heart to send some to the UK!!!!

oh, of course i would be interested in such a thing! how can i resist commenting for a chance to win?
ReplyDeleteSo colorful! Me too please!
ReplyDeleteThanks you guys -- love hearing from you and getting comments. I will keep the give-away open till 6PM PST (you do the math) and post the winner tomorrow morning. Good luck to all and hope you are all having a good mail day.
ReplyDeletei started tearing apart my walking dead book,
ReplyDeleteit's a HUGE compendium. if you'd like some of
the pages for your envelopes, lmk. i'd be happy
to send them along. you have a jesus zombie coming your way!!!
I sure would, SuperHero -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteI know the contest is closed. I just wanted to say--what a great way to recycle! I recently bought a Beautiful Sunset book with full page photos of California from the thrift store and have been making envelopes from that. Some have turned out better than others. Do you use a template?
ReplyDelete@Cindy -- thanks. I bought templates but I never use them. I found I much prefer freeform folding. And yes, some envelopes do come out better than others, depends on the placement of the images and where you have to fold...
ReplyDeletethanks for the tip :)
