It feels wonderful to post my incoming again!
This has been another of those incredibly busy weeks that has not left much time to breathe or focus as much as I would have liked to on my mail. But! I have heard from some lovely people this week that I haven't heard from in a while--which is absolutely (always) a plus!

A "Lovely Letters" piece from my partner, R., in Germany.

Some of the gorgeous stamps adorning it...

And another airmail label to add to my collection!

An airmail-esque piece from S., in the United States.

...adorned with a bit of an early Chrissie stamp!

And a long awaited letter from V., in Spain!

The airmail sticker and "stamped (postage) stamp"!

Receiving mail is always a big ball of awesome! Have you received any stellar mail lately?
As always--if you're interested in a penpal, I'd love to hear from you! (Comment below!)

Earthscapes

This new stamp collection is something that I am not afraid to say that I am deeply in-love with. The designers did a fantastic job, so much so that I bought one pane to use and one pane to keep for my collection. I just keep loving all of the stamp collections! Don't you?

Something about the combination of nature, industry and design--and the new perspective supplied by this stamp collection--makes me so happy and excited to use these stamps! The aesthetic of the colours, lines and shapes makes for one heck of a collection. It's pretty impressive.

To pick a favourite, I just don't think I could! They're all so beautiful. But the ones that stick out as my ones "To Not Use Until The End" are probably: Center-pivot irrigation; Railroad roundhouse; Sal evaporation ponds; and Cherry orchard. But I love them all.

I've already used two of the stamps: Inland marsh & Skyscraper apartments; and they looked fantastic. I am very, very much loving this pane. A lot.

Hurricane Sandy!

It is horrendous that I remark that it has been so long since I last wrote! I feel terrible, but my blogging has taken a bit of a backseat these past two weeks because I have had much too much on my plate.
Hurricane Sandy is on her way to Boston, and with that--I have had plenty of time to sit down and reply to my letters! Luckily, not yet by candlelight!
I have many photos to share, and shall get them up on the site in a few!
I am very glad to be back, and hope to hear from you soon!

It Has Been A While!

And I have to admit--not a lot of mail has made its way to me lately! I think that maybe mail is slowing down for my penpals as this increase in busy-ness.
But I look forward to mail all the same!

My most recent outgoings:

Outgoing to AAn., in U.S.A.

A celebratory outgoing to C., in U.S.A.

More celebratory outgoing to M., in Australia.

Some Halloween spirit to S., in U.S.A.

My first "Lovely Letters" outgoing to R., in Germany!

And some of my favourite stamps of choice!

Hope you have a great week, readers!
Send some mail, won't you?

Today is only Wednesday which is, unbelievably, only half-way through the week. Hump Day.

Let's get to Wednesday!
