Happy mail

Lots of happy mail in my mailbox the last months! I found myself some new penpals through Instagram & Interpals. (website looks not that good, and lots of males who search for female attention but if you use the search-option and look for snailmail, you find what you search for)

 

Here are some outgoing letters to Interpal-friends.

 

 

 Incoming! Dear Claudia spoiled me with this beautiful stamp she carved herself. Her inspiration was one of the playing cards i sent her. Thank you so much! This is a gift i'll treasure for the rest of my life, yay for handmade gifts!!

What a lovely surprise to find this handwriting in my mailbox again!! It made me smile :)
I think everyone experiences what Lisa did, not feeling like writing for a while. I often have it with my blog, not finding the inspiration or right mood..
But look what she sent me! A little adventure to discover everything she added to the letter!
Love the creative idea!

This card came all the way from India, where Mina had a wonderful time!! Another super surprise in my mailbox!

And mail from Sara, Lisbon. I like the stamps!

 

 

That's enough mail for now.

I wish you all a sunny weekend, i feel a first bbq and mojito coming up!

More happy mail

Here's some more happy mail i received in october,
a letter from Heidi & one from Fiona!
Sometimes i wish writing letters is all i have to do in my life :)
Oh and ofcourse i should have to search for pretty stationary a lot then!!

 

But enough with that dream, back to the dishes!

 

 

 

Happy mail!

Some weeks ago i received lovely snail mail from Ruchama, she doesn't have a blog but writes all these beautiful letters to people. I'm following her on Instagram and it looks like letter-heaven :)

 

We met through Marlou's sticky stuff swap and since we both love to write letters we'll continue to do so! (she's 20 times faster than me though...)

 

Bf is coming home in a bit! Yay! I have to go working now unfortunately but will go home this evening with a big smile!

 

Have a good week!

 

 

You've got mail!

As a teenager, writing & receiving postcards from holiday destinations was a must! I remember my mom was always surprised by the amount of postcards that arrived.

These days i still love to write & receive postcards, times have changed though, lots of people prefer to announce their destinations on the world wide web...

What a shame!

Luckily some people are just as old fashioned as myself, here are some pretty cards i found in my mailbox lately!!

About a late christmas gift...

Who needs christmasgifts in december if you can get one in the middle of summer?

It's something Mina & i agree on, it's christmas all year long! Haha :)

So last week i felt a bit in a christmasmood when i received her parcel from the mailman!

A beautiful box with an owl pattern filled with yummy chocolate, the little ones i don't dare to eat yet, they're so beautiful in their lovely papers...

Mina also made me some lavender sachets in her enveloppe design! I really like those, and they smell so good, a bit of the Provence in my closet!

And then there was also the gorgeous scarf boyfriend gave me for my birthday! It's made by Mina, and i absolutely love it! The fabric, the print, the way it's made... a bit of Mina with me everywhere i go :-)

Check out her shop for more nice handmade beauties!

And ofcourse there was a letter, a long letter! I enjoyed reading it with a good cup of tea. And now i better get my christmas parcel ready...

Happy mail!

More happy mail! This blog seems to be a lot about mail lately but i'm enjoying the whole snail mail thing and that's what this blog is about afterall... the things i love!

So you can expect more blogposts with snail mail updates :)

Here's another one that made me truly happy, Barbara sent me some colorful dot-stickers, some fabric i really like, a postcard, seeds & woodens signs!

The seeds are already showing their little green heads outside, can't wait to see them grow bigger!

Thank you so much sweet Barbara!

A letter of mine arrived in France, see here.

And now i'm off to my bed, got an early plane to catch! On to Madrid :)

Snail mail!

Receiving mail from Lisa is always fun! We seem to have a lot in common, collect the same stuff and love to write :) When i got back from France a letter of her was waiting for me. My mom, who takes care of our cats while we're away, wondered from who those pretty enveloppes were... (she also empties our mailbox!)

Lisa spoiled me with some paper goodies, a pencil, a marker and a lovely pen! Can't have enough pens and pencils!

See the picture of the fern she included? That's one of my favourite plants in our garden!!

And Lisa wrote her letter on green paper cause that's my number 1 color :)

Dankjewel lieve Lisa, er komt spoedig weer iets jouw richting uit!!

Oh, don't forget to check Lisa's blog, she's having an awesome giveaway!!

Snail mail!

Time for some more snail mail news! The last weeks my mailbox has been spoiled with beautiful enveloppes filled with little treasures!

A funny fact by the way! Every single one of them  contained little round stickers :) Which is great cause i love those ♥

First one is from Lies, the cute cat on the outside made me smile and my smile only came bigger when i saw what was inside! The stickers, paper goodies and not to forget the vintage children books are a  win! Thank you so much Lies!

I was very lucky to receive this enveloppe btw, cause it arrived at another house in my village! (while my address was all good!) The people where it arrived know my parents and recognized my name, so they contacted my dad to let them know about it.. luckily! Thank you honest people :)

Something else.. my poppy in the garden is blooming so pretty!!! Love the big flower, i'll show it soon!

Happy mail

Oh oh.. Blogger surprised me with the new lay out  this morning and i'm already totally confused!!Help!! This looks so weird... Oh well, let's just go for it and see what will come out of it :) Don't shoot me if it looks strange!

I've said it before and i will mention it again, this blogworld has brought me some wonderful new friends, so great to see all the same minded people find eachother here through our blogs..

I've received some lovely mail the latest months, i can't get enough of it!

When i entered Vibeke's snail mail swap some months ago i had to write Heidi in Finland, exciting cause Heidi doesn't have a blog which could tell me more about her interests! We wrote eachother and when i got her letter it felt good. And some weeks ago a second letter of her arrived, i was smiling when i was reading it cause we seem to have quite some things in common, so i think a beautiful pen pal friendship might be born!! Love it :)

Heidi, if you're reading this: i'm writing you back soon!

And for the others, here's what she sent me...



Lovely mail

The other week i found some more pretty mail in my mailbox.

Flaurette loves to write letters and her enveloppes look like a piece of art with that pretty writing!

I'm a fool for all paper-things so Flaurette made me happy, and the doll is such a cutie :)

Thank you so much F.!

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter weekend! (with lots of chocolate!)
