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!

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..

travelling notebook

Hi guys!
Those of you who are active on the postcrossing forum or even on tumblr, lately, should be aware of the existence of these so called travelling notebooks.
To sums it up for those of you who are instead unaware of those projects, a TN, is a notebook that is sent around the world to the different participants, so that each of them can make its own contribution to it. Once that the last participant has filled it in, it has to be sent back home to the person that sent it first.

I myself joined a couple of those TN project over the years. Some of them never arrived though, and it was pretty sad. The few that actually made it to me, were really interesting and so much fun to fill out. Not long ago I signed up for another of those project over tumblr, but apparently, one of the first participants in the list disappeared and another TN got lost.

The other day I found this A6 notebook in my drawer and this idea popped in my mind, why don't I try to make my own version of a TN? So here it is, ready to travel the world:


I'm looking for 5 participants (all from Europe, sorry!) to join this project, if you're interested click read more :3

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!

postcard-mo?


I keep receiving emails from people asking me about when will I do another lettermo and if I will accept letter requests again. As I said before, I loved doing the lettermo, but besides being a little too expensive for me, I was also pretty upset that the majority of people that requested and received a letter, never even bothered to send me an email or a message just to say "hey, the letter made it!".
On the other hand, I'm also grateful because thanks to it, I met some amazing people.. so I'm doing something slightly different for the summer, but with the same leitmotif.

As some of you might know, I'll spend the summer at home this year. If there's someone else like me that is not going anywhere and would like to find a little something in their mailbox, you can request a postcard!
Submit your details here, and one random day (July/August) you'll find a postcard from Italy waiting for you :3
There are only 20 slots available, so if you signed up in time, I'll send you a confirmation email.


EDIT: Ok guys, I've already filled up all the slots, thank ya'll! I'll be sending confirmation messages soon~~
