Re-Visiting My Mailbox

Incoming Mail
Since today is another no-mail Monday, I thought I would
revisit the mail I was lucky enough to receive this week.
Check out this great mail -- and that handmade envelope from the fabulous ----

Ms. Kelly P!!!
I am so very happy to be on her mailing list.

INCOMING
And another fearless and wonderful mailer -- Ms. Alice S. --She sent a beautiful calendar and book by a woman artist from Japan - Makiko Azakami - who  makes amazing art out of paper.
And I just happend to be at a party at Alice's last Friday night introducing the
artist.
Domo arigato.
Here's Makiko's website -- Paper Toy

INCOMING
Yes, there is even more...from Red Letter Day, Miss JH herself as well as Sally W, CJ and Shelita.
Do you think I need to get busy and send some mail out?

LUNCH
Yes--I do--but first some lunch. Ramen in Japan Center always works.

OUTGOING
Getting busy -- a looooooong letter to Kelly P.

OUTGOING
.....Stuffed into this envelope ....

OUTGOING
They aren't going anywhere quite yet but I worked on a bunch of collaged
postcards over the weekend.
These are pretty time-consuming with having to wait inbetween layers for the paint and ink to dry.

OUTGOING
More collaged cards -- by now everyone knows how much I love all the papers from Chinatown. My dry-cleaner gifted me with a Chinese Calendar and I am loving ripping it up and using all the pages.

Do you even have to ask?????
Of course I do! And I bet all of you do too if you are reading this blog.

Cappuccino and Art has a Facebook page.
If you're there on FB, check out the
52 Weeks of Mail
page too. There are a lot of letter writers, mail artists and postally inclined people like us
out there.

Some of you are waiting patiently (I hope) to hear back from me.
I seem to answer various people as the spirit moves me so I appreciate your patience.

Keep the Post Office busy!

  1. I love the red theme of your collaged postcards.
    Your blog makes me want to visit San Francisco more and more each time.
    Also, does Kelly P have a blog?
    Here's to a great mail day tomorrow!

    1. Mary--You are one of the people I owe a response too. I will send you a red postcard! No, Kelly P doesn't have a blog. Seems like she should since she makes such amazing mail art. Thanks for the good wishes -- I am hoping for a happy mail box tomorrow.

    5. Two weeks now.... hmmm... it can still arrive! I don't know if the mail is just slow at the moment...I mailed a letter to my sister, (who lives 500m over the German border) and that took a WEEK to get there!)
