January Mail Week #4

Good evening guys! This week I received a lot of pretty letters, it's been a really good mail week! On the other hand, I'm a bit behind with my replies (I'm sorry if I owe you one and it's taking me a while), but I'm in the middle of my exams, and I'm doing what I can to write as much letters as I can.
Anyway, let me show you what my awesome penpals sent me lately:

I received a 10 (!) pages long letter from Mariam in the Netherlands, who also sent me a really cute address book, which is going to be perfect to carry in my bag when I'm travelling, as it's really light and quite tiny too.

festive friday III

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

Well hello guys! Happy weekend, how are you?
Is the Christmas spirit all over you already? My family will decorate the tree tomorrow, so for now the closest I've gotten to Christmas is through ALL the pictures that everyone's posting on Instagram of their trees, stockings, garden decorations and all that jazz, plus the lighting's they put in the streets of my town, of course!
Anyway, for you who are more festive than me, here the freebies for this week:

As usual, let me know if you like them and don't forget to check out the other "festive fridays" if you haven't already: here and here.
I also want to apologise as I dont' know what I've messed up in the code of the theme, but nothing is working as it should (like the tags, or the comments!) but I'll try to fix it as soon as I can!

Have a lovely day,

November mail week #2

Hi guy! How was your mail week?
Mine was very good as I received lots of lovely letters :3 but let me show you!
 First letter of the week was this one from Marysza in Poland:

She also sent me some Polish stamps, a wooden arrow, and (not pictured) a wooden "F" and the cutest snail rubber stamp, which I'll soon stamp like crazy over every letter I send!
Next was Kelly's from Canada; how I missed her letters!

feathers in my mailbox

Hello guys!
How was your mail week? Mine, with all the mail I got last week, was predictably pretty meagre, but surely not less great.

I received a letter from Thea in Norway:

s'tahw ni ym xobliam

Ok, don't panic like I did! The title is nor Italian, nor any exotic language, but it's just English!
What am I jabbering about, you might ask. Well, my friends, if you want to blame someone for my momentary madness, blame Ria :D
This week I received a letter from her, but something wasn't quite right with it. She indeed wrote every single word of the first paragraph contrariwise! When I first started reading the letter I was quite puzzled and thought: "Oh nice, she wrote something in Romanian.. but.. where is the translation?! How am I supposed to understand this?!" and yeah, kinda started panicking. After a good 10 minutes, I suddenly realised her evil trick and both laughed at her evil genius and the coolness of her letter, and to my stupidity - since it took me quite a while to realise it.. but anyway!
Here's her letter:

Along with it, she sent me a very nice coaster, a bus ticket, and some beautiful stamps! Oh and she beautifully decorated the envelope too, as you can see :)

That day I also received two postcards:

One from my Norwegian friend Thea who went on a trip, and one from a postcrosser in Malaysia.

guest post #1: Madeline

Hi guys, my lovely (pen) friend Madeline wrote something about the beauty of letter writing, and I want to share it with you today; enjoy!

Sending letters is more than just putting pen to paper. It's communicating with someone, a friend, a relative, perhaps someone you don't know. It's making an effort and showing a little love. There's something joyous about the sending and receiving of letters. Reading a letter and knowing that not so long ago, the page was in the hands of the writer, pouring their heart out onto the page just for a little while.  Just for you.

mail art in my mailbox

Hello my dears :)
how was your mail week?
Mine started pretty late. I didn't received anything since Thursday, but it was absolutely worth the waiting! Not in a particular order, that's what I received:

 

 This letter, is my first from my new penpal Nadz from Malaysia.

She wrote me a very interesting letter introducing herself and the culture of her country, which I must say, is so fascinating! There are a lot of native tribes where she lives, and the person on the postcard belongs to one of those. As I said, so fascinating!

june mail week #4

Hello peeps!
As some of you noticed, I changed my layout. I really like this one better! It's neater, don't you think? :)

Anyway, June is almost over; I really wish I could cheer for the holidays etc, but I'll be in town the whole month of July (..studying!) and that won't be particularly funny.
Sticking to the mail topic, it's time for the monthly stats!

This week, as I previously announced, I've made a stationery set according to William's suggestion. He wanted something in the "typewriter theme".. so here's what I've done:

this is not my mailbox!

Hey guys!
As usual, here's the weekly post to show you how awesome my penpals are :)
I don't feel particularly chatty today, so I'll go straight to the point and let the pictures talk for me!

On Monday, I received this letter from the lovely Yoshi in Austria. She has a really nice, colourful blog about snail mail, you should absolutely check it out!

june mail week #1

Hi guys!
How did June started for you? I didn't even noticed it began! I have an awful sense of time..
Anyway, as you probably know, I'm not doing the lettermo this month because I lack time and money, but it doesn't mean that your mailboxes won't be filled with silly stuff from me!

Today I went at the post office with a HUGE bag full of packages, seven in total.

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!

lettermo May week #5

As every month's final post about the lettermo, I feel both sad and accomplished.
Every month I love this project more and more, and every month I get to know new friends and there's nothing better!

As tradition, here's the stats:

This month was waaay better than April in terms of incoming. I received about the double of the letters I received last month, not to mention that a couple of them where wonderful packages <3
Anyway, let's see the last letter I sent out this month, sigh.

SMASH my mailbox

Hello you guys, happy saturday! I hope you're all having a lovely weekend!
I'm pretty much in a good mood today, just by thinking about of the wonderful surprises I've received in the mail this week!

But let's proceed with order:

On Monday, I received Kelly's letter. She was part of the past lettermo, and according to the date on the stamp, she sent this letter April 26th! Postal service is ridiculus sometimes.
Anyway the letter is lovely, starting from the cute paper she used, to the adorable things she included: instant pictures of her two kitties (♥) and some stickers. If you're reading this, Kelly, I'm sorry for the delay and I will surely reply asap :3

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 :)

lettermo May week #3

Hello you guys!
How are you doing? I'm super busy with Uni, and keeping up with the letter writing is going to be a problem this month! But so far so good, I'm still on schedule :)
Here's the letters I've sent out, and I will send, this week:
