Happy Halloween!
Some Halloween postcards with vintage images I sent out to the participants of the MMSA swap I recently hosted.
Jack-o'-lanterns
USPS issued their first Halloween stamps ever. I am surprised they haven't cashed in on this very big tradition before - I'll be interested to see if they continue with Halloween issues in the future.
I used them on stamps for Jean's October exchange on homemade envelopes 831 and 832, with a bonus envelope 830 to Eric.
And using some Halloween-themed bottle labels Colleen sent me as an MMSA bonus, I finished the rest of the swap with these:

Halloween from Eva
A great spider, and an unusual white on black letter from Eva.
And a second spidery envelope containing this fab letter written on bat paper.

Dragonflies
From Eva. I think dragonflies are a highly underrated insect, so it was nice to see them on this card and envelope. The stamps with the migration theme are fascinating.

Halloween in a paper bag
Hester and I have been exchanging Halloween mail for the past few years. Here's the paper bag envelope...

A Halloween Envelope's (Mis)adventure
Eric sent his MMSA postcards in this spooky envelope.
It was somewhat delayed - if you look closely at the big yellow nixie sticker, it says undeliverable, return to sender.
Fortunately it was sent to me, rather than back to Eric.
