Collage and stamps in lovely envelope from Carien van Hest

What an imagination-stimulating collection of images! What might these two gentlemen be up to, and how do they manage to levitate Napolean's hats? Cool stamps, too. Thank you, Carien!

Some colorful images from Sabela Bana

It's always a little extra exciting to see those foreign stamps on the envelope! And great images, interesting use of color in the one, fun concept well executed in the other, all in a decorated envelope. I've never tried to read a book while riding a bicycle, but it is a temptation! Thank you,…

From Cascadia, two great postcards

It appears Vostell was not a great driver, or a thrill seeker, or most likely both! Terrific monument, love the diorama, and the news from Cascadia.

Also flowers! Cascadia Artpost, always so interesting and…

Received a campy postcard from Zack

Dupont et Dupond (Thompson and Thomson) go to summer camp! Would I camp with them? I like the chocolate, but I'm not sure about these nuts! Thanks, Zack.

Received from the Celestial Scribe

A delightful mail art care package, with the offer to purchase an extra day from the Pharmacy of the Soul. As I am in need of vast quantities of extra days, I would prefer to be a wholesale customer, please.

Received another wonderful collage from ML Stephens

Love this collage on spring green paper of the mighty bird, stalking through the human-scaled buildings, with a border of black and white cultural signifiers, and circles of day and night sky. Curious about the bird, I pulled out my trusty Sibley, and narrowed it down to a group of wading birds with astonishing names, many of which I'd never heard before,…

Received from awyn, lots of cool and interesting stuff!

Love the "Juggling My Priorities" card; it is similar to my own time management system, which I call the "System of Rotating Neglect." And love the blingy dress card, although my own wardrobe resembles more the inner simpler threads. And a splendid hand-made bicycle inner envelope and a beautifully decorated outer envelope: a delicious packet, thank…

Received from Bonnie Diva, charming zine and flower paper

A lovely evocation of a grandma's house in the sweltering summer days before everywhere was air conditioned to walk-in freezer temperatures! Wondering if you still want to be rescued from it. Lovely, thank you.

Received from Adam Roussopolous

Three emotional events, which shall remain hidden in order not to spoil it for others. Thank you for the experiences, Adam! It is a challenging assignment to choose the superlatives, but their reusability offers a relief valve from the pressure! I can't quite bring myself to do the third one.…
