The old fashioned snail mail way is blossoming in the generous and kind blogging world. I’ve received goodie bags and won giveaways, participated in swaps and I love it all!
Finishing the Postcard – what’s on the back?
I love the backsides of postcards almost as much as the art on the front! iHanna Dear Mail Art Artists & DIY Postcard Fans, do you put in as much love and attention to the backside of the postcards you send as you do the front? I am guessing no, you might not. Painting and […]

Happy Mail from La Wendeltreppe
I love happy mail with cute postal stamps that I haven’t seen before, like these from Germany. So very cute, right?
