| Onward to Washington DC and the National Postal Museum. Beautiful blue skies and blue banners on the museum. |
 |
| Rather large and impressive building, don't you think? As it should be. |
 |
| The building was once and post office. I can just picture the folks in old time dress lining up to buy stamps at these windows. |
 |
| This is the way a post office should look. |
 |
| A museum with a mail truck. And a postbox. And stamping stations. And free postcards. Now this is a museum I can relate to. Did I mention the free postcards? And the stamping station? |
 |
| This was my favorite exhibit.... |
 |
| I spent the most time in here looking at every stamp... |
 |
| I thought of my mail art pal Alice S when I saw this. She has the largest stamp collection of anyone I know. |
 |
| The beauty of this show is that they acknowledge mail art! Isn't this great? I saw the work of several people I know. |
 |
| And the store.......did you now you can buy this charming little book? I already had my copy but if I didn't I would have snapped one up. And a mail truck too. |
 |
| I didn't play with dolls when I was little -- I played with mail trucks and lady letter carriers. |
 |
| Stamp silk ties for the guys.... my guy wouldn't even think of wearing one but maybe someone would... |
 |
| Some of my DC collaged cards. We stayed in the Foggy Bottom district. Isn't that name a riot? |
 |
| I couldn't mail my cards here -- these are in the Postal Museum for display only. But they do have a little post office right there and you can get a good postmark. |
 |
| BLUE Skies After the snow in Boston it was lovely to see the blue skies but it was just as cold! I am going to show you what I made with all the paper ephemera I picked up in my travels next time. I've been busy! Tearing & Pasting! So relaxing. An folding and taping..... Thanks for all the birthday mail everyone. |
