~ Mid-Week Mail Bag ~

It has been a Card-tastic week!  I love how a theme/trend just naturally happens, don't you?

This is a beautiful pictorial of the Jefferson Memorial and Cherry Blossom Trees in Washington DC, printed using a metallic ink/printing process.   The photo does not do this justice.

A bounty of lovely letters arrived this past week.  Handwritten was the trend - how nice!   This week will be full with replies.  What will you be doing this upcoming week?

The Mail Bag did not disappoint!

Laura L. at Please Deliver To posted earlier this month about her friend at Sketch Cuts  whose focus is card making.  By following the instructions on Laura's post, she would gift you with a wonderful Sketch Cut card of your choice.  I'm grateful to have received not one, but two beautiful cards and envelope seals to use.  Thanks Laura!

In addition to Laura's parcel, a bunch of wonderful letters and postcards arrived!

How did your Mail Bag brighten your week?

~ 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"?
