Helen's handmade paper envelope with stitches all around was so beautiful, I first thought that this was it, it wasn't meant to be opened. The Spirit of Place stamp on the thick paper with dried leaves could easily pull it off as a piece on its own. I almost missed the snip, snip, snip instructions. I almost missed the little sandpaper booklet! A precious haptic booklet with…

That stamp is just too precious--almost makes me want to shout, God Save the Queen…

You know it is going to be something great inside when you see those South African stamps on the envelope!

And Lesley honored me by sending a vintage postcard of the classical sculpture of Hermes by Praxiteles,which is safe in the archaeological museum at Ancient Olympia...and which we can visit next Spring , when we all meet at Ancient Corinth to search for the Lost…

Mail Art from South Africa is easy to recognize even a block away in the postgal's hand! Look at those beautiful fish, and the flying "airmail" stamp, too. Today…

I recently told Katerina that Ben the Bin was a good lad but that he was quite often in sulky mode. I was a bit worried for him. No one knows Ben like Katerina does, and she immediately understood. He was feeling lonely. Time for some company! Beverly Bin is adorable, and Ben, doesn't he look smitten! :-)

Moreover, it's springtime, the perfect time for a bit of Glam! And,…

Another great story by David. I am so used to him coming up with the greatest tales and fictive characters that I'm not sure anymore... this is a true story, right? David REALLY used to typeset the haiku journal Frogpond for Elizabeth and Bruce Lamb, and inserted his own work from time to time?! Help me out here, I'm only a gullible Cherry…

This is my very first mail from Russia, and it is sent by Natalya Korolkova (aka Ntk at IUOMA). Yamal is a peninsula of North Siberia, and in the language of its indigenous inhabitants, the Nenets, it means "End of the World".
