Oh -- and I have been having a whole lot of fun putting my postal treasures on the new shelves. Arranging and rearranging. So much to do and so little time. Today is the Library Big Book Spring Sale. And no, I don't need more books. And yes, I am going. I can't resist. And, I do have more shelves to put the books on....
Bought the beautiful new bird stamps yesterday. Looking forward to the very cool circus stamps coming in May. Hoping to get the studio finished up, artwork hung and invite my pals over to play. Getting out the mail. And what about you? What is everybody else doing these days? Do tell.
Happy Spring to everyone!
SEND GOOD MAIL --- GET GOOD MAIL

What a pathetic sight, those unloved mail boxes, I wish I could have them. You and your mates should ram the fence with a rented truck and save them.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you blogging again! Cool studio shots!
Viz -- of course YOU would suggest ramming the fence! HA. I did think about it. I want one too....or a truck full. Why don't you fly over here and we''ll ram the fence together? I'm g;ad to be back blogging -- wonder if anyone missed me?
DeleteI have the Harriet Russell book and I love it. Have you seen Alice Through the Pillar Box? Another great post related book. ~ Anna
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna -- I will check out the book. Always on the lookout for postal themes 9as you know).
DeleteAbsolutely luscious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie Rose!
Deleteswoon! thanks for book tip + lovely glance at your wondrous new flat files & your super sweet workspace!
ReplyDeletemiss polly -- I didn't actually show the flay file! But i will do a "studio tour" when everything is all finished.....
Deleteoh! i thought i saw it somewhere.....didn't i?
DeleteI want to come play!! :)
ReplyDeleteFarStarr -- well girl -- hop on a plane and get over here!
DeleteHi, How can I send you a postcard? I don't see a P.O.Box address...
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy Lee - nice to see a new name -- you can email me through my blogger profile and we'll talk.....thanks.
DeleteI am envious of your flat file. My mom's office was getting rid of one and I could have had it for free, but it was HUGE and I have absolutely no place to put it. It was still hard to say no.
ReplyDeleteKaren -- you could have had a FREE one????? Oh man......how about under the bed?
DeleteI bet you have the most wonderful big sheets of paper! How great to have a flat file to store and access them. I have only a few big ones, and they are rolled up, but frequently squished...grrr! I hope you manage to get your hands on one of those post boxes. I never even thought of a post office box graveyard! I am going to look for that Envelopes book...wondering if there are some more copies...I went to a local library book sale on Sunday after vowing that I was NOT going to go this year. Came out with 14 new books. I just CAN'T RESIST!
ReplyDeleteAndria -- I have a ton of sheets of paper (partly thanks to the amazing Cavallini sale every year....i won't even tell you how much cheap the sheets are...). For years I haven't been able to store them properly and now it is thrilling to have them all organized in drawers. And I don't think I need any more paper for a while....
DeleteFYI -- a friend of my stores some of her sheets using binder clips and a clothes hanger and another hangs hers on the wall using binder clips....maybe one of those methods would work for you?
Those Cavallini papers are so gorgeous...lucky you to have a cheap source...they are SUPER expensive around here! Thanks for the storage ideas...My art room is a bedroom with a closet whose doors I have removed, so something like that is entirely possible. I'll check it out! (Of course, then I'll feel justified to buy some more big paper to store...)
