Mail Holiday

OUTGOING MAIL
Some of my outgoing mail from this week.

Today is a very dark, rainy day and a holiday. Well, not really a holiday for me because  there is no mail delivery today.
But, on such a dreary day what better to do than bake something that made the kitchen smell wonderful and linger over yesterday's beautiful batch of mail?

INCOMING
These all came yesterday and it was a very good mail day indeed.

INCOMING
And look what else arrived this week? An entry for the Call for What's In Your Mail Art Kit --
a mail art kit itself!
Send very kindly by Daisy
What a fun surprsie. More about Daisy's kit in the post about mail art kits that's coming up.

INCOMING
Always exciting to see an envelope from Miss Jennie H
of
Red Letter Day Zine

and yesterday I got two!  And I am so going to that rubber stamp shop  in New York City
when I go (read her post).

INCOMING FROM RED LETTER DAY

Lunch Break (you knew it was coming)
Since it is so dark and so dreary I decided to make a pot of Thai  Chicken, Lemongrass and Coconut Milk soup to heat up the afternoon.
Came out great. Tossing in those Thai red chilies certainly heated things up around here.

INCOMING
LR sent some lovely fall leaves inside a handmade envelope featuring the same.
Lovely to get the leaves.
 The only other person to mail me leaves in the fall was my mom so this was a treat.
And, a letter tucked inside too.

INCOMING
Mail Art/Postal/Travel zines from a series by Alice So. Every time I see an envelope from Alice I am immediately cheered up knowing another fabulous zine is most likely inside.
Thank you Alice!

OUTGOING
I don't just GET fabulous mail -- I make mail too. A perfect  project after
baking and making soup is to
MAKE MAIL ART.

OUTGOING

This has been a great week for incoming mail (which helps the pain of no delivery today).
I am very lucky to be in the circle of so many lovely people
making and sending mail.

Planning some future post - the Mail Art Kit post and one about stationary, envelopes, ephemera
(that's for you Pocci).

What else would you like to see here???
