This month has been crazy. I feel like I'm writing that a lot lately. Things have been so busy and, unfortunately, I have not had the kind of time that I have desired to write more on this blog!
I have been letter writing, however--and am, as always, open to new penpals!--but I haven't been keeping as much documentation as I would like! Which is a bit of a bummer, but I recognise the necessity to keep my priorities in line.
With that being said, I think--for these next few weeks as summer approaches and I close the book (quite literally) on a major part of my life and open another, I am going to aim to write one blog post a week at minimum and two at maximum. That way, I can stay focused on what's really important right now, and still have time to do what I love!!
Additionally, with all this hype about googlereader ending, I think it's about time to recommend to my followers (the few, the mighty!! :D) to switch over to Bloglovin' to follow me there! The steps are pretty simple and the program sends you a nifty little email with blog post updates! Good fun! I would hate to lose you guys!
Hope you're all well, and look forward to posting a bigger post this week!
Have a brilliant day,
~ Ms. Always Traveling
Alright, alright!!
cos-mo-post-al-an [koz-muh-postal-en]: adjective/noun
1. a person who belongs to all the world; not limited to just one part of the world; can make their home anywhere in the world.
2. a person who believes fully that postage stamps and mail connect the world, regardless of where, from or to, they go.
3. the joyful experience of knowing you're a local because your mail made it to its destination.
The postage stamp is truly wonderful. It can travel the world, experience the lives of a million different people, go through the doors of strangers; and never once lose sight of where it's headed.
Welcome to the land of cosmopostalan : travel, mail and words. It's a crazy little place in my corner of the woods; wherever that may be!

Outgoing | Early April
Wow, it's been quite a while. Things have been--as per usual--absolute craziness for me, so I haven't had a lot of opportunities to post! My apologies! To make up for it, I'm going to post twice tonight! (See my other post here.)
Post The Second | Outgoing Early April.
I know that I haven't yet posted my incoming, but I will do that on Tuesday.
Here are some of my outgoing for this week.
An outgoing piece to L., in the United States...
...and a close up on the washi+special delivery aspect of it.
An outgoing piece to A., in the United States...

Post The First. | Those Items.
We all have those go-to items that we repeatedly use for letter-writing. While the pens and stationery may change, there are always some trustworthy solid pieces that stay by our side.
For me, the stationery of choice changes with every letter I send. But I found this cute "Stenographer Notebook" and I've been using it MUCH of late.
Simple lines, and a flip pad. Excellence.
I also keep my trusty Rooster Box on hand--it houses the "sprinkles" that I pop into my letters. Cut outs of music notes, colourful circles, etc.
And then there is the simple pen. I use more than just this one pen, but I am enjoying purple right now.
And my letter opener (one of three), complete with a little bit of washi-tape stickiness on the side there.
Gotta love those "go-to's"!
