Happy Mail

 From the Land of Here There Be 


(that's pretty much anywhere outside of Boston)


Dragon stamps and a card with Santa's sleigh being pulled by dragons from Finnbadger from Envelope 100


A gorgeous, flourished and sparkly envelope from Kathy Milici one of the instructors I studied with at Enders Island 


A beautiful flourished wreath with a Blackletter variation from one of my students, Bob B.


A delightful card featuring Little Robin and her pal, Throckmartin from Robin at Pink House Studios. The puppy butt just cracked me up and sums up 2020 perfectly


MB a friend I met in classes at Enders Island sent a lovely card with acanthus leaves

Thank you all for brightening up the mail in my mailbox.

  1. Wow, you got TONS of happy mail. You got some real beauties, especially that Santa and sleigh being pulled by dragons. Sheer beauty. As someone who saves and uses cancelled postage stamps, I HATE what they do at Christmas. They put such heavy and huge marks on the postage stamps, they are often obliterated. Regardless, you got some real gems.

    1. Not just at Christmas. For some reason some of the postal clerks are partial to the big, fat, Sharpie markers.

    1. I hope the rain didn't destroy the address or the card/letter inside

  5. Great to see all the dragons again. This is one of my all-time favorite stamp issues.

    I actually found this year's holiday postmark less brutal than the past couple of years. It landed really well on the dragons - you can see them pretty clearly.

    1. I liked how the Happy Holidays cancellation was placed. So much nicer than the fat Sharpie pen. The dragon stamps was one of our favorites, too.

    1. That's Little Robin, her giant pencil, and her new friend Throcky. Throcky sums up 2020 😺
