Trains trains trains and the postalservice

At the railway museum, I came across a postal train, still full of sacks where the post used to be in. Also a great thirties mailbox at the station!

Mailart

And off they go! Off to a dark place where they will be fondled and looked at, be stamped, put in an airplane or truck to be transported to hopefully someone nice. Was fun creating anyway.

Snailmail

I'm sending this of to the person from whom I received a snailmail last week. The envelopefolder, I love, is so easy to make. Good to storage some snailmail goodies. Last week I bought some stamps from the local departmentstore which were packaged in good quality cardboard. From this I've made some tags. Simple but a lovely gift idea.

Postcards from around the world

This week I received postcards from all over the world! From Siberia a lovely sunny "be happy" beach, from Germany a picture of a palace in Andy Warhol style and a sweet plant postcard from Japan. From Taiwan an antique map card. Postcards written by a chemist, a man, a woman who lives in the city where Toyota's are build and a woman from former east Germany. I don't know these people, but we all love receiving postcards from around the world. It's a joy!

Stamps!

I just bought a lot of stamps before postalrates go up! 130 postcards to write! Or 70 postcards to the world or Europe.
Hmmm endless postal possibilities!

No mail on Sunday!

Because it's the mailman's day off, no mail on sunday. I received a packet though on saturday (yesterday) from one of my favourite webshops. A webshop full of paper, stamps, envelopes, and everything that makes me smile! www.postpapierenzo.nl
I'm a paperlover, just can't help 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!

Surprise! mail!

Wow, Today, my mailbox was very happy indeed! I'll share the contents later. It has put a big big big smile on my face!

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.

Lots of stamps!

Today I received a postcard with lots of stamps on it! This is my first postcard from Marieke, whom I have yet to meet. We decided to send postcards to each other which should be a bit challenging for the mailman. A fun little project! In this case, the mailman decided to put his postmark on every single stamp. Well done mailman! Thumbs up for delivering this card!
