Simple yet WOW.  An old Paris map (doesn't have the velib (bicycle) stations, and a 153 year old letter in French.  Not to be mistaken for a French Letter. Yes you can google it.

   The letter in French was stamped in Newcastle on Tyne, UK (where Val comes from) on March 13, 1860.  Amazing how the two go together so well.

Thank you Mim, material do…

I had to buy a new, larger mail box to place under my little box by the stairs of the apartment building. This is half A4 size, so it can handle mail art bigger than post card size. And it will store many days of mail while i am at the seaside shack for days/ weeks on end :-)…
