this first is a darling handmade card with flowers and a field and mail to use in my happy mailings!
Next was a wonderful package full of ephemera!
and inside this
then a lovely card and more water color stickers and more!
It was a darling treat on such a gloomy day!!

So much pretty mail to admire! 
I got two lovely envelopes in the mailbox last night 
One of @Ewulotta’s gorgeous rain cards, with a cool chess stamp bonus, and a beautiful birdie card from @susieoregon complete with poem, and tea (which looks divine!) Thank you both so much, it’s so delightful to be filling a shelf with bright and happy greetings from far away!

Lovely to see everyone’s cards!
@Lynx glad you liked it! I think it’s been in my shoebox of cards for probably 20 years. I’m not 100% certain where it came from but my family used to visit the seaside every year, I had two aunts who lived there. If you want to see birds, the Wadden Sea is even more interesting than the North Sea! It’s a very fascinating area.

That’s awesome! I used to dream about visiting but I’m so terrified of flying that it will probably never happen 
You’re keeping me busy! lol… I’ll see what I can do

OK, I added a little drop down menu thingy at the bottom of the first post, just click on it to reference the prices that @susieoregon and @Magpie found

Having some trouble with loading my pics correctly oriented but wanted to post the ones that came out…
I got this lovely sunset from @PhoenixFireDesigns…I love the Gulf of Mexico and this is one reason why! Thanks!
Underneath, a lovely and nicely done floral card from @bluebird…lovely stationary and instructions as well underneath! What a clever idea to send a craft lesson! Thanks…love your color palette on those flowers.
Next up from @bugaboo…how cute are those raindrops made from scrap paper!? She included a little wooden phoenix/griffin for me to use for something else!
Underneath, one of @Whistlefish’s gorgeous beehive paintings and some paper to use!
Finally, @saintcady sent a very happy card with the coolest rainy day themed wooden buttons and a lettuce craft book marker!
Wow…this was indeed a happy mail day for me…now I will spend some time planning on things to make, punching hearts out of the envelopes, and saving the stamps!
