  1. Nice envelope! Made of packaging?
    And the stamps fit perfectly in the theme.

    1. The scan is perhaps a little misleading. The elephant in front is packaging from cookies - it went inside the envelope. The pale blue elephants you see on the envelope came from the inside of the packaging. I scanned them and printed them onto a plain white envelope.

  2. I'm not sure I'd want to be in that plane during its skywriting expedition.
    But, I am sure I'd like to try chocolate chipotle cookies!

    1. I'd be losing my lunch on a skywriting plane for sure.

      I believe that company closed, which is a shame as the cookies had just the right amount of spice added.

  3. This makes me think of Dumbo - "When I see an elephant fly."

    1. Now, there's a film from my childhood that I haven't thought about in a long long time.

    1. Yes, it does look like an engraving, doesn't it? Thanks for stopping by.

  6. I like a vapour trail but to have a word in the sky would be even better. Nice blue sky thinking.

    1. The blue is a nice change for the Love stamp series.
