I spent a good part of Sunday clearing my desk and making a note of all the people to whom I owe letters. Since my father’s passing (in February), I have had little inclination to pen letters and postcards. In fact, I realized my snail mail life has been a mess. Not only are there … Continue reading Snail Mail | Join the Revolution!
Doesn’t this look like a lovely place to be, “to escape thoughts of the Corona Virus?” as one of my friends commented when I shared a photo of this postcard with her this morning. The “French Quarter Gallery” is one of many, many vintage New Orleans postcards I received from a blog reader I encountered … Continue reading Gallery in the French Quarter | New Orleans
Squeals!!! I received a “letter” from my little great-niece Lu [my niece Tiffany’s daughter]. Isn’t it adorable? I know you don’t understand the special language she used to write her letter, but trust me. It is full of ❤ for her favorite [great] aunt–me, of course! She even used my favorite colors!!!

I’m not sure what the rest of the week will bring, so I thought I’d better share the love mail I found in my mailbox before the remaining days of the month slip away. From Christine B, my ever faithful penfriend, a heart-shaped … Continue reading Love Mail!
Even though I enjoyed watching the trees through the rain yesterday, I missed spending time in their presence. The mail gods knew, so they arranged for the tree above to arrive in time for a day too rainy and gloomy for time outdoors. Rainy days often bring the best gifts. The apple tree art is … Continue reading You Are Here to Risk Your Heart…
You have probably figured out by now that I receive a lot of cheerful sunflower mail, so much that I’m pretty sure I can start a blog just for sunflowers. I can’t let my second “Sunflower Week” pass without showing off the beautiful envelope full of sunflowers my Love Notes pal Lori-Anne C sent a few … Continue reading An Envelope Full of Sunflowers: Snail Mail Quick Tip
Well, I promised I’d be back with a post on the bonus Liberate Your Art package I received. At the end of the LYA blog hop, Kat held a giveaway for participants in the hop. As noted on her blog, by random drawing, she gave away: One 6×9″ fine art print of this year’s final … Continue reading Re-liberating the Re-liberated Art
It’s time for the Liberate Your Art 2018 (LYA) Blog Hop! Finally, the moment is here to share the art I received and sent for the LYA swap this year. Some swappers share all along, but I like the anticipation, the suspense leading to the day “all” the art is revealed. Then, I spend the … Continue reading Art Brings Light: Liberate Your Art 2018
