Snailmail from Belgique

Another snailmail from Inge all the way from Belgique!

Inside the envelope a bag. Check out the washi tape! Like!

Inside this pretty bag another surprise, a folder which contains the actual mail.

An autumn feel is what Inge wanted to send me. A postcard, a handmade card with a butterfly, a tiny bag with sparkles in it, three small opaque bags with a cool tag/label, postage stamps and a butterfly card, and a page from a colouring book.

I really appreciate the effort she put in to this. She clearly had some sort of plan. It looks attractive and its all stuff I can use for my picture diary/notebook!

A funky happy sort of vintage style card in a kraft envelope! Would be almost a shame to send to someone! Rather keep it myself. Well, I could always send it to myself :-)

Snailmail

This is what I've received yesterday. Such a sweet little packet via the Dream Make Share project. Some lovely labels, little crochetflowers and a tutorial to try it my self, and some sweet crafted envelopes.
Love the packet. It puts such a big grin on my face whilst opening the envelope. Like a birthday!

Snailmail

I just love making some mail out of old pictures, scraps and whatever I can think of. As long as it fits through the mailbox. This snailmail was inspired from a book I got from a secondhand shop. A book about traditional clothing. Together with some scraps from old babyclothes, some lace, nice paper, glue and a sewing machine, it all came together, it turned out like a little folded museum. I made a stamp from a foam sheet, such a easy way to make stamps! And to finish it all, a handwritten letter to go with it.

Embroidery on postcard

Sometimes I find myself pinching some holes in a postcard. I collect old pictures from magazines, cut them out and sometimes I find a nice pattern on a piece of paper. And after some glue and thread i'm embroidering those holes. Et voilá, a postcard.
I sent this one to someone in Edinburgh, but it hasn't arrived yet. Fingers crossed.
