| (Fabulous) Incoming Mail After a not-real-good mail week last week, today I got the most wonderful mail from Karen who just can't stop carving stamps. Check out her great post and prepare to get inspired! I know I'm inspired but I'm even more happy to have received these two handmade beauties to play with. How lucky am I? Thanks so much, Karen. |

I can't believe you got them already! I mailed them Saturday. It still boggles the mind that packages can travel 3,000 miles so quickly. good ol' USPS.
ReplyDeleteso glad you like them! I am absolutely drooling over "scrap" and would like to get on a plane right now! -K
Come on over, Karen! I'd love to see you. (you will be hearing from me in the mail)
DeleteWhat an amazing store. I'd have to visit there a lot if I lived in SF.
ReplyDeleteGreat mail in and out. Looking forward to spring here too.
Sarala--my friend who lives near Chicago says there is a store like Scrap there too -- and everything is FREE - unlike our Scrap. Check into it....
DeletePamela - such great mail art fun in our fair City :). Maybe give me a short list of some stamps you would love to have, and I'll see what I can do! (be patient too; my carving, lino, or otherwise seems to happen in waves)
ReplyDeleteKaren - Awesome stamps; really great job!!
Oh! I have such lovely and generous friends......I will put in a special
Deleterequest to you.
To all who read Pamela's blog...go visit her!
ReplyDeleteI arrived on her doorstep (literally at her Beautiful home, because she had invited me even though I was a complete stranger!)...she is fun and friendly, and took us to SCRAP (yes, those are my hands she referred to !) Thank you Pamela!
Jane--come back any time! Great to meet you and thanks for the mail. Hope you have something from me by now.....
Deleteand isn't it fun meeting up with mail artists when traveling?
Oh WOW! I would spend all of my diaper money there. Wonder if one can get a baby stroller down those aisles...LOL!
ReplyDelete...maybe a snugli........
DeleteThose stamps are incredible, lucky you!!, xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteCorrine--Lucky is right! I am thrilled with them.
DeleteCool blog post, PG. you know how I love scrap too. And lucky you to get those hand carved stamps. Something in the mail to you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSallyw--we need an art outing soon!
DeleteI really love this blog -- so inspiring and fun to read. Great photos. Do you ever sell you stuff? Denise C.
ReplyDeleteI think the typewriter and post box rubber stamps are amazing!! I would definitely buy something like that if I could find them for sale. (Perhaps Karen could start a business?!?!) Scrap looks like a pretty awesome place.
ReplyDeleteI am SO coming to SFO to visit SCRAP..it makes my heart beat a little faster just seeing the photos!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived near that SF SCRAP store. In the other hand, it's good I don't. Lots of great inspiration here.
ReplyDeletewow ! i love those stamps ! you are luky...love your blog ! take care ! ...Andrea from Argentina
