It's a bright sunny day and I have nothing pressing to do. Well, I should do a little housework, the floor could use a Swiffer wet pad, and yes, it will get done. But first things first. The day stretches out in front of me, and it's up to me to make the most of it.

So, before I go, here is some mail art from Lenore Tawney to Georgia O'Keefe. Those were the days...

Simplicity is the removal of the useless and the unnecessary--source unknown

As you may know, I like to write notes and letters by hand and mail them the old-fashioned way. Usually I decorate the letter itself. This week, I'm sending cards.
I have friends undergoing personal trials, and sending real mail is one thing I can do. Consider that a note, a card, some humor, something! -- a little care package in a sense -- sent out to your recipient every so often, is far, far better than an email or electronic "card".

Now go and buy some postage stamps!

Today's mail

Why Miss Mailcarrier knows me by name. This is a little sample.

I send out notes and little letters every week. Sometimes I get some back. More mail, less email!!

La Poste

If you know me, you know that I love postal paraphernalia, especially rubber stamps, not just any rubber stamps, but interesting ones. Note to Nick Bantock: Would you ever have those funny postal stamps re-issued please?

These came from Blade Rubber in the U.K. Funnily enough, I watched the movie Blade Runner on the Space Channel recently...... Well, you have to smile, don't you.

This collection, presented in one of my fabric gift bags is available in my Etsy shop. (SOLD)
