| Old letters -- aren't they wonderful? Facebook and email and twitter cannot replace the loveliness of real mail. |

 |
| Taking it on the road -- the mailart kit in my favorite color chartreuse |
 |
| Inside are stamps, stickers, dater, some vintage postcards, scissors, tape, pens. |
 |
| LaLa Land -- the land of cars and freeways and pink poodles and movie stars. (And fabulous restaurants, great farmers markets, good pals) |
 |
| Mail hasn't been as good as usual lately so I had to place a little Etsy order to cheer up my mailbox. |
 |
| My wildly talented pal, Barbara Wyeth, makes incredible portraits (I like to call them) of flowers. I am so lucky to have gotten these in the mail. (You can buy them at RedBubble.com) Red Bubble |

| Here's a letter I got from the wonderful writer MFK Fisher. |
 |
| Some very cool incoming mail. |
 |
| Two more arrived today. Ok, so you don't feel too sorry for me. |
 |
| Outgoing from me! OK, folks. Thanks to the three new followers. And thanks for mail received and comments posted. Oh--and look at this-- Thanks Annie and Carolee Good Mail Day |
Sweet Mail Art traveling kit. It's fun to see others' kits. A letter from MFK Fisher - 1983! How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteLove your mailart kit. ^___^
ReplyDeleteSnagging parcels of old letters is the best. Your friends floral portraits are fantastic. Dots box, the best! xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteI mailed something small to you yesterday... a "real" letter will be coming soon :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, letters beat anything digital. Obviously the digital world has its place but all the important stuff is on paper.
ReplyDeletei don't feel bad for you, i haven't gotten anything all week! :-/
ReplyDeletei like seeing all the travel art kits, because i'm in the process of making more fluxus art kits for some friends of amanda's! i love seeing all the ideas!
vintage postcards would be a great touch,
where do you find such things???
Don't feel bad because my mailbox has been dry the past 2 weeks. I only received 2 letters!! By the way, what etsy member did you purchase the goods from?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having fun! Enjoy all that good mail... I am afraid I will be mail free for awhile since I am not home and haven't been writing. I am trying to write "everyone" a post on my blog instead of an actual letter, since I am pretty sure a real letter, mailed from Costa Rica, would never reach its final destination... :)Having fun, hope you are doing the same.
ReplyDelete@Annejo --mail from you arrived today (thanks)
ReplyDelete@SuperHero--maybe you will see something on here in your mailbox.
You can get vintage cards on eBay. I know a good seller of them and will send you info. Also snagged a bunch in LA real cheap.
@Williams77 -- sent LA postcards to cheer up your mailbox and letter soon
Thanks all!
