| Letter Writing Social on Friday afternoon at Rare Device here in San Francisco -- hosted by the lovely ladies of the Letter Writers Alliance Donovan and Kathy. Lots of members of the local letter writers posse showed up. |
 |
| Of course there were typewriters to be shared -- and vintage stationary -- and a LWA stamp. |
 |
| Miss Curbside Treasures herself -- typing away. Annie worked the Renegade Fair too. This is one busy lady. She was at the UpperCase Magazine table and reeled me in. I took one look at that amazing magazine and signed up for a subscription. Check it out-- UpperCase Magazine |
 |
| A good time was had by all - people were waiting in line to type but I caught this shot in a rare quiet moment. This was a great start to the weekend. |
 |
| The next day..... Saturday (and Sunday) was the Renegade Fair at beautiful Fort Mason. It's wonderful to see so many people making beautiful handmade goods. |
 |
| I made a bee line right to the 16 Sparrows table where Kathy and Donovan had an incredible assortment of beautiful, handmade, postal themed wonders. 16 Sparrows |
 |
| I hate to torture you but....... (I wonder who bought that cool vintage mailbox). Kathy and Donovan run the Letter Writers Alliance too. Letter Writers Alliance |
 |
| I love this space set right on the SF Bay. The library has the Big Book Sale here every September too. |
 |
| At the Renegade, you can get a poem written on a typewriter just for you by this lovely lady. Here's her web site - The Poetry Store |
 |
| And, of course, after all that shopping and spending money, lunch must be had! |
 |
| A thing of beauty.... Donovan showed off her well-organized stamps at the Letter Writing Social -- and I thought I was organized! Isn't this a great idea? And now, what you've been waiting for, the winner of the give-away. ***CINDY*** Congratulations, Cindy ( I'll need you to send me your address) but it's not over yet -- so many of you left me such nice comments I am going to divide up my second sheet of the USPS stamps and sent out a strip of ten stamps. I have ten strips so the first ten people who email me their address will get a set of the ten stamps in the mail. (ok--got the ten e-mails & stamps will go out soon) But keep checking the blog -- I will have more give-aways coming up to keep things interesting. In the meantime, thanks for reading the blog and commenting, and don't forget -- To get good mail, you've got to send good mail! Have a good one everybody. |
The letter writing social looks like fun! I hope to move closer to a big city one day where awesome things like that are always happening.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post! Made me wish I could have been there or that there was something like it in the Dallas, TX area. Thanks for sharing all of the great photos, links and fun with us.
