Mail Art from Saylor Made








Another great package came from my friend @Jeannine today. I received an awesome card with an anchor on it and I also got a Christmas card handmade by the lady herself  with the kindest words written inside. Next up I got some wicked stickers including some hand made ones which look to good to be used. I am loving the silver shell stickers especially. I see a ship and seashore theme going on here ;) It took a lot for Jeannine to give me the next item as she secretly wanted to keep it....you are so generous. It looks like it is an illustration from Moby Dick, which I have never read and aim to read at some point in the near future. I am one for reading about 4-5 books at a time I like to fleet from one to the other and yes I can pick off from where I read last, I'm weird like that. I mean come on you need to take a break from Lord of the Rings at some points because it is so heavy going (I am reading the first one)....anyhoo the reason for saying this stuff about books is because I now have two new handmade books marks. Like I need another two books to read at the moment ha ha, but these bookmarks need homes. They are little works of art in themselves based on a space theme. I didn't show in the photos but the back of them have a light brown glittery background on them, oh how I love sparkles. Jeannine has been doing some lovely water colours recently and I said how much I loved them, so she printed two of them for me....WIN!!! I do love me dinosaurs and ships. Thank you so much Jeannine :)

Mail Art from Sumi Senthi















Received the loveliest package from my friend @Sumi the other day.
I was very much treated :)
I got a typed letter, wax sealed into an envelope (I love these little details, a bit like getting a letter from Hogwarts) and a lovely Christmas Card designed by the lady herself . Next I came across a hand-made envelope full of pretty vintage stamps, buttons and bows. To go with my buttons and bows I also got a selection of beautiful flower fabric, lace and a butterfly transfer. Sumi always makes lovely badges and I received two beautiful vintage styled ones (love the presentation on the tag). Next I got two pieces of paper ephemera with a map of the west country and another with a very interesting illustration on it. I couldn't believe that I got 3D spectacles and a booklet, I have been wanting to buy myself these for ages. And last but least one of the BEST prints ever of a deer, which was drawn and printed by Sumi. Thank you so much for your beautiful package Sumi :)
