~ snail mail love ~

Today is #worldpostday (I think it has to have a hash-tag these days doesn't it?).  Its not too late to write a letter to someone you love and make their day tomorrow (or sometime next week depending on which postal zone they're in...in my case Tassie's zone is like the end of the world - not infrequently we have had letters addressed to here go via Tanzania!!)

I was lucky enough to receive a real snail mail letter today (the bottom one) with special envelopes for my girls inside (these are the characters they are playing in their end of year ballet concert - not the real white rabbit, I hasten to add.. in case you think I am a real ballet mother {I'm so not} but one of a number of white bunnies that don't appear to be in Lewis Carroll's original version - poetic licence much?).

The other letters are part of a mail exchange going on over on instagram (I know I'm talking about IG again here - total IG addict  - but now there's not only pretty pictures and amazingly friendly people but there's beautiful mail exchanges happening too).  I've been lucky enough to receive really heartfelt letters and gorgeous bits and bobs and am making new friends with each letter I send.

So - go send a letter and make someone's day.  Or send me one - and I'll send you one back...promise.

  3. Ally count me in! I've been missing the Good Mail :) I keep a look out for it all the time. I'm not on IG so I'm probably missing out on a little too :( You pics are always so delightful lady!

  11. My poor old letter box has been echoing lately. If it wasn't for all the love letters from energy Australia and the bank, I would feel very left out indeed. :) x

  13. I do love a good old fashioned letter. Emails just seem so impersonal and I love nothing more than a pretty envelope I can sit down, open and enjoy :) xx

  14. I owe you some snail mail love. I have your address sitting here in front of me on a post it on my laptop. I see it every day and yet it's still not enough of a reminder to write to you! I think I am a theoretical snail mail lover, rather than a snail mail doer. x
