You've got (air)mail art

This envelope was one I received in an exchange. Not the easiest to write on, fortunately it was delivered to Eva without incident.

November exchange from Fatima

This came from Fatima as part of Jean's November envelope exchange.

The colors are perfect for fall, and the decorations very much make me think of the Christmas season. You can't appreciate the beautiful shimmer of the metallic ink as the scanner doesn't do a good job of capturing it.

Love how the colors match the liberty bell stamp, and also how nice the blue airmail centenary pops against the orange.

And to top it off, a lovely seal on the back that traveled really well, despite the envelope going through the franking machine twice.

A is for Airmail...

...and Anniversary! 2018 is the centenary of airmail service in the USA. 

I used some of the blue stamps on an envelope to Eric that was made from the cover of US Philatelic magazine. I think they are slightly less bright in real life compared to the USPS image.

The stamp has also been issued in a red version. There has been some discussion as to whether there will be confusion considering the fact that the stamps say 'airmail', when they are in fact 'forever' stamps valid for first class domestic mail.
