And a bunch of postcards are on the go! From Finland to Belarus, from Germany to Taiwan. And it was a great excuse to use my new stamps I bought last week. Stamps with a typewriter, a bike and a cloverleaf. And my new stack of stamps came to good use.
When summerholiday's are almost near, I ordered a special teacher's gift from www.postpapierenzo.nl. some lovely small stamps, ink and a thank you postcard. Teachers always love putting a stamp on homework. A praise stamp as you like. Unfortunately I ordered only for the teachers and not for myself. A bit stupid in hindsight, the stamps are quite lovely.
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.
