MMSA envelope from Dorothea

The fun outer envelopes continue to arrive. This one's from Dorothea.

Gold, blue and kraft

Not the easiest to document, I sent a few of these out. This particular one went to Dorothea.

Watercolor calendar envelopes

Some more of the envelopes I harvested from a large watercolor calendar titled 'Fairies'. I continue to be impressed by how well they pair with the botanical art stamps. These are envelopes 784, 808, 793, 795, 783, 786, 807, 777, 794 and 810.

Banana from Dorothea

This unexpected banana arrived from Dorothea.

Inside this fun envelope.

Would you think it was strange if you received banana art in the mail?

Halloween and Spook Stories

I love this bonus card from Dorothea.

Scream!

Another cool MMSA envelope.

Fruit stickers in

And these are the MMSA fruit sticker cards I received.

From Mary

From Dorothea and Sarah

And my favorite of the bunch from Rose.

 

Black and white

Envelopes and stamps.

The chickens are here

MMSA 'All things chicken' postcards arrived...

From Ellen and Dorothea

From Joyce and Honi.

Joyce's card was one of the post office's pre-stamped tree cards. And I enjoyed the chicken on the address label Honi printed.

Update:

As Eva commented below, I also thought this was a great topic for creating art postcards - quirky enough to get some interesting art submitted, and broad enough to give anyone a lot of options. I thought people unfamiliar with MMSA might like to see the rest of the chickens. So here they are:

My submissions, with theme-related envelope.

Chickens part 1

Chickens part 2

Chickens part 3

From Russia with love

Dorothea sent me an altered postcard and an ATC, enclosed in its own tiny handmade envelope, inside this fantastic Russian envelope.

I love the back flap, which shows you how to use the boxes to write the postal code numbers.

Full moon today - the flower moon

More moon phases sent out to LWA, PinkyPost, Rose and Heleen - where I took some liberties in addressing her as Mevrouw ('Mrs' in Dutch) and calling her country of Netherlands 'Holland'.

And more for Carroll, Jackie, William, Alan, Dorothea, and Adrienne.

MMSA color bar postcards in

Three great cards came in from...

...a compass rose from Kaprice...

...a spring proverb from J Vanwinkle (I think a few bits went missing in transit)...

...and my favorite, an awesome robot from Dorothea.
