Ooh, what do they smell like? They look like ghost pine cones. Super weird/wonderful!

It looks like a flower! Is it a shaggy mane variety?

Ummmm… mushroomy? I don’t know how to describe it. It was a loamy kind of smell but I literally picked several trash bags of them out of the yard- serious infestation! The smell actually started to make me somewhat nauseated but I’m sure that had to do more with mushroom overkill and just the overwhelming chore that was… I would have been happy to NEVER see another, at the time. But looking at @Cindy’s photo actually brings back an odd sort of nostalgia! Isn’t that funny?!

I was sorting through a box of things I inherited from my greataunt years ago, and I picked out a pile of brand new vintage cards that I will be sending to you all this week! Not handmade, but hopefully they will make people happy. Most are from the 60s and 70s so it’s about time to send them after half a century in a box.

Ok, posting about me-- I’m Ann, in Maryland, I am not a card person but ephemera is fun! I like nature (especially the kind that can be found around where I live-- I try to plant almost exclusively locally native plants to build habitat in my yard) and fun stickers and washi samples and gel pens and silly little paper doll bits and weird papers that are sturdy enough to run through my embroidery machine… My preferred colors are basically anything occurring in nature, especially green; I also have a girly animal & flower loving 8yo who loves pink & gold.
Also of note, I prefer used or thrifted supplies to bought new (including shipping supplies if you’re sending larger envelopes for some reason) and you’re always welcome to regift things I send you if you think someone else would love them more!
For those who are bothered by this, be aware that I will almost certainly not post to the thread about things I have received.

Thanks for checking them! I fixed yours 
Thank you for doing the “leg work” Made for a quick fix on my end
@Immaculata that sounds wonderful! If anyone claims it’s not crafty just say you’re working on your calligraphy 
Or that you’re sending paper ephemera in the form of vintage cards
@thanate Thank you for the intro, I updated your link in the first post

And today I got a beautiful spring card from @AIMR and more stickers for the kid 
thank you! I was really hoping I’d get one when you posted earlier

I wasn’t sure about sending stickers for your kiddo! I remember when I was cleaning up my mom’s house to sell it, she had let the grandkids put stickers up on the bedroom door and the fridge…it took a lot of goo-gone to get them all off…lol…I did not want to add to any unwanted decorating, but I figured maybe he has a sticker book or something…lol
@immaculata…I also check mail every morning to see what is arriving…I am pretty much excited about any mail…well, not the add chemicals to your lawn adverts…

How do you do that? I have to wait for my mail to be delivered before I know.
