Getting Back to Basics.

Well Hello - I have been a little bit slack updating as of late.. An Influx of Orders from my etsy store, Job Searching & Working are all to blame! But here I am & With alot of Mail-y goodness for you!
Before I begin Alot of my lovely penpals have been asking where I find my Penpals.. It has taken me alot of frustration, searching (&a few years) but I have found that these are my Favourite Websites to FIND a Penpal - (I will be doing a post later in the week about my Favourite Letter/Mail Blogs)

- Pen Pal of The week!- Beautiful Site with TONS of Penpal Ads & Interviews.. Very Easy to use & Pretty Looking! My Pen Pal Ad :)
- Send Something - It is quite plain & Doesn't look to Spectacular.. but the concept really is! I have met so many wonderful penpals on here! Give it a go! My Profile    // Sisters Profile (Please send her Surprise Letters!)
- Good Mail Day  - The "Good Mail Day" 2012 Call for Correspondents is a great place to find Penpal Ads from all over the world + Put your own up!

So those are the Three sites I am using at the moment - If you have anymore Please let me know!



This very Spectacular & Special Parcel Arrived from my Wonderful Penpal Paul! (wait till you see the letter!) - Handpainted & Very pretty - I now have to come up with a very creative way to send my package back! Any Ideas?











The AMAZING Letter from Paul - Every bit is Hand cut!


A Pretty Letter from Misty!


A Sparkly letter from Miss Courtney - Her Penpal Ad was just featured on Penpal Of the week! You should definately Write her!


a Lovely Letter from Nora! (Such a pretty name!)


Another Fab letter from LR (Who I met via Send Something )

I felt very spoilt when this pretty package arrived from none other than the wonderful Bubbles at "Make mine a Mail Day" - Inside were these beautiful Embroidery Hoops MAIL Themed :) Thankyou Bubbles!

I Had a Bit of Spare time yesterday So I decided to get back to Basics & get stuck into Some Mail Art! I created these Envelopes with Watercolours then dug out my Ephemera Box & Went to work!










I Also put these Fantastical envelopes in plastic sheaths to mail As I did not want the watercolour to get wet & Run!

Hello Lovelies.. I hope your Mail(& otherwise) Week has been Wonderful like mine! After all the mail delays of Christmas & the New Year I was so lucky this week to recieve so many beautiful letters! But first here is a little sneak peek into the giveaway packages that were sent out to the lucky ladies this week! (I wanted to keep the surprise for the giveaway winners so this is just a bit of the prettiness!)

Mini mailbox - LAST ONE
On a sad note I purchased this supercute mailbox from the lovely Missive Maven early december & unfortunately it has not arrived - this is no fault of Maven, but sometimes our wonderful mail system misplaces things (& I don't think the added stress of christmas & the New Year helped!) - So here is what im asking if anyone sees one similar to this please let me know! I am desperately seeking one! Thankyou!
