~ Thrifty-Thursday Finds ~

Recently, I have had good luck with stationery "finds".   More often than not, when I'm at the Thrift store on the hunt for  paper/correspondence items, the choices are slim to none.

I've always enjoy Papyrus products.  This is a complete set of 100 sheets and 50 envelopes.  They are off-white parchment sheets with deckle edges.  Price: $2.62

This was a large spiral bound note paper set of 200 sheets.  I cut the spiral off for easier access.           Price: $1.51

Set of 12 flat correspondence cards and envelopes.  Price: $.99

Set of 10 Hallmark "Postalettes" (write, fold and close with coordinating seals).  Price: $.77

Where to you go for your Thrift items?  What are your latest "finds"?

~ Mid-Week Mail Bag ~

Mail received this past week includes some lovely letters and pretty cards.     

Do you tend to send cards, letters or a combination of the two, depending on the person or mood?

~ Sunday Send-Out ~

This captures part of what my Sunday consisted of.  Busily replying to a wide variety of Pals from a wide variety of places.  I find Sundays to be an optimum day to write.  At the end of the day, there is a sense of productivity and accomplishment to see a handful of sealed, stamped envelopes ready for their journey.  Far too often, I tend to think about documenting outbound correspondence only after they are in the hands of our local Postal Carrier.  What did you do today?

 

~ Mid-Week Mail Bag ~

Lions, Tigers, Bears and Alpacas - Oh MY!   As you will see, there is a delightfully whimsical and interesting theme this week's mail bag.  I heard from new Pals, regular Pals and long-time-no-talk-to Pals.  Needless to say, it was a very good mail week.

As with fashion, stripes and polka dots in stationery remain classics.  I'm always up for a good polka-dot.  What do you feel are the latest correspondence trends?   What stationery/note card themes are you sending these days?  What themes have landed in your mailbox lately?
