Outgoing: The white edition

I've made a totally white mail for Marja. Thought that would be a fun thing to do! I had so much fun hoarding through my stuff! I am a hoarder, a total chaos hoarder. I collect way to much, always think I can use something for something. And as it turns out, I have used a lot of something for something. In this case, a lot of white something! It's hard to see on the picture, but all the white stuff turned out a different kind of white! I was surprised by that aswell!

A letter written with milk, as you iron it with a hot iron the words will appear. At least, that was what supposed to happen. Marja emailed me that it didn't quite work, some words appeared, some didn't. Bugger! I had tried it at home and it did work, but maybe my enthusiasm was catching on onto the iron. I'm such a bad housewife that I never touch the damn thing, well okay, for ironing Hama beads for the kids. So I can imagine that my iron was glooming with joy at that moment! The white letter is on the top left by the way. Try it sometime, so much fun! My friends and I used to write letters to each other when we were young while playing to be a secret agent. I'm going to learn that to my kids some day. I remember having hours of fun with this!

Embossed paper with a floral pattern. I would love to own my own embossing machine some day, it's on my wishlist.

Old fashioned handcrafted paper from linen with a watermark of the dutch lion. It's such beautiful paper, it's has a special feel to it. I bought it at the Openlucht museum (open air museum). Our family love that museum! Me and my boyfriend love it because it's full of old dutch buildings and trades, the kids love it because they can catch a ride on the old-fashioned tram (and the vintage candy store of course). There is this farm where they make this kind of paper like they used to, of linen. Such a time consuming process but with all the attention that goes into it, it makes the paper kinda special.

Three small glassine bags with white buttons, paperclips and bows I once got from a friend of my mum.
