i have SO MUCH ANTICIPATION as 1pm approaches every day. when i hear the truck pull up and the metal mailbox open and close...... i secretly wait till the mail-lady walks down my steps and turns on her truck... and then i literally run down the stairs and hope for the best.
usually i just have bills, and what's up with wasting so much paper on ads?? but sometimes i have contracts from clients, which usually have a little hello note along with their wedding details.... but SOMETIMES.... i have fun visual loveliness that just rocks my world. and i love it so much that i have scanned it for you to enjoy too.
the orange envelope at the top is from my friend marisa---- the card simply says: i know how much you love getting mail so i thought i'd send you this lovely card just to say, hi!' who does that? made my month.
newsprint makes my eyes freak out in a good way,

the yellow is from ruthi, and the one with the tape is from my friend nate. the one from nate is actually a birthday card from 3 or 4 years ago, it sits by my desk though, inspires me, and mesmerizes me in a really mysterious way. that tape is drywall tape from home depot that is holding it up on my wall. one of my favorite kinds of tape.
the green is from kristen my pen pal, and the other is from my neighbor, val.
the hello is from my friend denise, and she left it blank and sent a 2nd card saying that she thought i'd think it was pretty so she didn't want to write on it. thoughtful to the max----- she was right. the other is from genevieve santos with le petit elefant, the girl who made my cardinal pet.
mail!
such a great part of life.
bold idea: maybe send a piece of mail instead of twittering today?
