Contrary to last week, this one was quite good in terms of incoming mail. However, some letters are still missing who knows where, and it really pisses me off, but I still want to believe that they'll arrive sooner or later.
This week I've found quite a few surprises in my mailbox. The first was Maggie's letter:
She's a girl from Poland, and I met her because she was one of the first people to request me a letter during my first lettermo. Receiving her reply was quite unexpected, I wrote to her back in March and well, I though she didn't wanted to write back at all. Anyway, her letter was in fact dated 24 March. I mean, are you serious postal service?! One month to deliver a letter from Poland? I receive letters from America that sometimes take just a week to arrive.. but anyway, I'm glad it arrived now!
She was so lovely to send me some little gifts: a pen, some very cute stickers, and a "Keep Calm and Carry On" pin, which will be added right away to my collection :) Oh and you probably can't see it, but as background of her letter, there's a drawing of the pokemon Bulbasaur :3
Then, I received James' letter:
He sent me a very well drawn mini zine, some fun stickers and a notecard :) It was all very appreciated, not to mention the kitty stickers on the envelope!
Now, look at that! It's a Voldemort stamp! I got all excited about this letter just looking at it.
The inside, was anything but disappointing too:
For a swap, Kes sent me this beautiful bunny necklace and a lovely photo-card of her hometown. I love it so much! She also has a lovely shop on etsy where she sells her creations. Check it out: theKestrelAndTheSea.
Another lovely surprise I received for a swap, is this:
Gema from the Netherlands, sent me this super cute bunny-girl brooch! Too bad it arrived broken so I can't wear it :c but it is still lovely nonetheless. She has an online shop too, check it out: dollymix.
I also received another letter from my pen pal Neda from Norway:
she also sent me a typical postcard of her town :)
Last but not least, I've received an envelopes full of treats all the way from Canada, from ceecee.
So many stamps! I'm a little bit freaked out by insects and bugs normally, but I think they look better on stamps :D On a side note, I really envy those countries which have low denomination stamps. Here in Italy, the lowest we have is 0.60€, which means I could never "decorate" an envie with stamps, like that :c
Anyway, that's what was inside:
a notecard, some of her photos, and more pretty Canadian stamps :)
That's all from me for this week! What did you receive instead? :)
I live in England and I have NEVER seen a Voldermort stamp, man I am so jealous right now! that stamp is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they existed either! I guess I was pretty lucky to receive it on an envelope :) Anyway you should ask about them the next time you go at the post office, I'm sure that if they have it, the whole set would be even more awesome!! :D
DeleteHi,
DeleteI'm Kes who sent you that package with a Voldermort stamp!
It was from a set issued last year, called 'Magical Realms'.
The set had 2 Harry Potter stamps (Voldermort & Dumbledore), and also 2 characters from Arthurian legends (Merlin & Morgan Le Fay), two from the Narnia books, and two from Terry Pratchett's discworld novels...
It was a very cool set of stamp, but sadly I don't have any more left. :-(
Glad you liked the necklace!
Hugs,
Kes
