Stationery Stash #3 [Etsy Finds]

Yesterday for the first time ever I was home when Mr. Postman came a knocking. Not only that but I was at home an in a decent state of dress i.e. hair combed and wearing a bra (^_^). More importantly he was here with a package I thought would take much longer to arrive! So a good start to a day off.

I spied these stickers, labels and mini postcards online almost 2 weeks ago on Etsy. I thought they would be perfect for my Traveler's Notebook and a few certain pen pals. I can't wait to start using these in my TN I'm not that good at drawing so these will help to liven up my pages.

MULK Mail

I am made my first Etsy purchase in ages from MULK and indulged in some gorgeous geometric writing paper. I loved the colour schemes. The paper is of good quality too as are the envelopes. The set also includes 8 seals in the same patterns and colours.

The 4 designs are great and I have 8 envelopes. My only complaint is that there are 12 sheets for 8 envelopes. But to be fair I would have settle for 6 allowing for 2 sheets per envelope. But I'm pretty sure some of my mail will be limited to one page so it all works out in the end. Delivery was really quick and for me it was great to buy from a UK based shop.

Outgoing [November]

Not much to report outgoing wise apart from the fact that I amazed at how much that I have managed to send. Before I would have struggle to keep on top it. I think that is mainly due to the fact it's the letters have been great in content and quality. And also as I mentioned in 'Incoming' the 'getting to know you' phase is over and you there is more to go on.

Writing the first letter is hard, not just because you want to make a good first impression it's also that you have nothing to reply to. My new pen friends were all found via Instagram. An instagram feed does not tell you much about a person. Also it is very public and people do not share the same way they do in letters (at least I hope not). So actually these replies were much easier this time around and therefore I was able to get letter out more quickly.

Some letters have reached their destinations and some are still languishing at the bottom of my bag whispering 'post us Rehana, set us free'. If I had a 100¥ or preferably a £1 (they're worth more) for every post box I've passed whilst having a stamped and addressed envelope in my possession I could buy Royal Mail!! *sigh* postal problems!
