I NO LONGER POST ON THIS BLOG, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY NEW ONE!

Hello guys!
It's friday again, which means - free stuff, yay!

click here to download (3.3MB zip file)
The front flap of the envelope has the same gingham pattern as the label.

Anyway, I just like friut a lot, and I think it's a pretty summer-ish theme, so yeah.
I hope you like it too!
Enjoy & give me ideas for the next freebie, pretty please!

Oh, and also, sorry for the dumb name of my letter sets. I've never been any good at naming things..

june mail week #3

Hello there!
Maybe, and I say maybe, I'm back on track with the blog, eventually.
Or at least I will, starting from Monday.
Today, to end this messy couple of mail weeks, I'm going to do a post about both incoming and outgoing mail of the past week.

Let's get started with the incoming!


This one, or better, those two, are from Neda in Norway. She sent me a letter and also a postcard from her recent trip to London :)
How I wish to go back there again! >n<

ironman in my mailbox

Hello guys!
I'm sorry I've been absent in the past few days, but I still have one course at Uni that is really time consuming, so I couldn't really keep the blog updated.
Anyway I have received a bunch of letters in the past days, and I think it's finally time to show you :)


The first thing I received was this letter from Roxana in the US. She sent me a lovely decorated letter and some organic tea and a postcard from a recent trip to NY, so cool! And the tea is just great! Anyway the stamps on the envelope weren't cancelled.. Do any of you guys know why it happens sometimes? Not that I'm complaining.. she used very pretty stamps and my philatelic self is very happy that they're in perfect condition, but yeah, it's just one thing I've been wondering for a while.

june mail week #2

Hello you guys!
How are you doing this week? We're almost halfway through June already, which is sort of a bummer.. but anyway!

This week I'll be sending a lot of letters that I've kept on my desk for too long. Some of them have already being sent, others will be sent tomorrow or Friday. I have a terrible memory so, in no particular order, here's some pictures :3

wood in my mailbox?

Hi guys, happy Saturday!
What did you find in your mailboxes this week? I found a lot of beautiful letters that I can't wait to share with you :)


The first letter that arrived, it's this one from Ria in Romania. She wrote my letter on very old paper (so beautiful!) and sent me some postcards and a drawing that her sister - who loves fashion design - made.
Her sister also draw on the back of the envelope, but I forgot to take a picture >n< Anyway you can tell she's pretty talented!

For this week freebie, I've chosen a spring-ish theme: flowers.

Lettermo May week #4

Hello my dear penpallers!
Is May being kind with you? With me, not really. I've been sick for two weeks now, and as it wasn't enough I have exams to do at Uni.. I had an hard time keeping up with you all, so I'm sorry if you're still waiting for a reply or a letter from me, but the odds haven't been in my favours lately.
However I'm eventually feeling slightly better so I should have all the due letters sent by the end of the month!

For those reasons, I also don't have much photographic material to show you, because I forgot/was too tired to take pictures everyday.

Anyway let me show you the few pictures I took:

mailbox madness!

Hello there!
Mail-wise, this week has been very satisfying and I received letters every other day! A true record for me.
The first thing I've received is this batch of stationery paper I ordered off La Papierre.


It's a lovely shop with a lot of different letter set, and I wanted to buy something since.. forever, and now that I've finally did it, I couldn't be happier! I really love every single one of the designs (I bought a grab bag, because I couldn't decide!). Julie, the owner, also has a blog called "penpal of the week", which is a very original source to find new penpals or even just to lurk and snoop all the pretty letters that she sends/receive :)

bunnies in my mailbox

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:

Lettermo april week #4

Wait what? It's already week 4? It means another month is over - so fast, blargh -. However, I still have a few peeps on my list that requested a letter, that for a reason or another (mostly because of swap-bot though) still have to received their envelope of randomness. So, if you're one of those people, don't worry! The lettermo might be over but I will keep my word anyway :)

Now let's talk about the outgoing letters for this week!
Monday:
Letter for Mayan, Portugal. The envelope is handmade from a page of a vintage children's book. Inside it, there are quite a few random things, I don't know why Mayan -probably because of what she wrote when requesting a letter- gave me the impression of being the kind of person that might have enjoyed an envelope of weird stuff, so yeah. Maybe I'm completely wrong and she'll hate. Very likely so.

Tuesday:
Letter for Thea, Norway. I had so much fun writing/preparing this letter because she's one of my favourite people on tumblr and wanted to make something special for her! I've also put two nice stamps because she have a Wreck This Journal too, and they might be a good addition to her stamps page :)

incoming Birthday Mail + Lettermo day 19 & 20

A week ago it was my birthday, and my lovely friend Khris (from Spain), sent me the loveliest presents ever!


As the tag says, it was indeed a very special present for me, it nearly brought me to tears. I was so excited to open it that I literally overthrew the content of the envelope on my desk and that's what came out:

Lettermo day 16, 17 & 18 + incoming

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm officially more than halfway through the lettermo :)

As usual, here's the picture of the 3 letters I've sent so far this week:


First one was for Joan. She wrote me that she would have liked me to send her anything like doodle, pressing and notes, so I thought she might be one of those who could also enjoy an handmade envelope.. and I hope I'm right!
The second one was for Mikela, which mentioned that her fav color is pastel pink. Tough I know it's not pastel, a pink envelope sounded like a good idea to me.. and once again let's hope this will be appreciated :)
Last but not least in this first round of mailing, it's Mary's letter! Even if in the picture it only has one stamp, I had to add another one because it was apparently too heavy.

Home made envelopes!

As some of you might know, it was my birthday a while ago, and I received a graphic tablet, and a printer from my lovely boyfriend; a perfect combo to experiment printing my stuff on everything :D
Yesterday I printed some of my designs on some envies I'll be sending out for the Lettermo:

Lettermo day 11, 12 & 13

Katie, Steffi, Neda, Tegan, Oana, and Sarah, are those who received my letter so far, or at least those who let me know. I'm really excited about the fact that some of them are writing back!

This week first letter went out for Sophia; I finally made it after all the exams at Uni.

Lettermo 8, 9 and 10

Another week completed!
I'm so happy I eventually made it for this week's goal, that I can't even tell. It's been an awful week for me but at least I had something pleasant to focus on.

(spolier alert for: Oana, Maggie and Caraa)

From wednesday through friday, these are the letter that went out.

Incoming Mail #2

This week, I've received a lot of pretty letters, and I'm still so excited about them!
On monday I got the remaining two postcards I was waiting for the book suggestions swap:


The first one is my favorite, I really love black&white vintage-looking postcards, and moreover, the pictures itself is really beautiful. The second one, is also nice. It would be even better if the font wasn't comic sans.. but this time I can get over it u_u
