These gentlemen, who might they be?... seem to be surveying a city plan,

I know, I said I wasn't blogging anymore, but this just cracks me up. The maker has even drawn a picture of Jackie's cul-de-sac on the postcard (to assist the postal carrier?) Love the instructions, especially to shape the dough…

Very rare postage on mail art from Finnbadger:

and inside, it's all about BUNNY!

...not RayBunny, but sweet bunnies instead!…

Great envelopes, great stamps, great letters - perfect packets!

Eva even wrote in green for spring, and the chicken and rooster in the stained glass window on the stamp is just amazing.

 I also enjoyed the not-quite-correct English on this…
