Today my mailbox held three cards from

@PhoenixFireDesigns - beautiful sunset photo

@bluebird - love the painted card, letter and extras

I searched all your posts in the topic to find the photo with that tea. Stash Breakfast in Paris. Then I looked up the ingredients: Blended black teas, lavender, bergamot oil, vanilla.
Like a sweet, floral Earl Grey, sounds delightful!

@kayrun Stash is a local tea company, I kept forgetting to tell people that. I’m glad you like it. It’s one of my favs. :heart:

They are all so pretty! Flowers and a gorgeous view. Thank you all so much!! If you zoom in you can see the embossing very well. Such a cool thing I didn’t really know about!

I have been so inspired by this craftalong that I’ve written to all my friends & family too! I usually send Xmas cards to everybody I have an address for as a once-yearly check in but figured why not do it again since this world-wide lock down is dragging on & we can’t visit for a while yet.

This is a great idea!
I’ve re-activated my Postcrossing account a couple of weeks ago that I haven’t thought about for years. But the craftalong brought it back to my mind :smiley:

Here is the card I got from @Bunny1kenobi

The card and extras from @Renstar I love succulents! Thank you :heart:

And the card I received yesterday from @Ewulotta - she shared a story with me that reminded me that we live in a small world, and we’re all connected somehow :wink: Thank you!

I have a postcrossing acct, but now that we have this, I don’t really feel the need to do that one. It was a good filler for wanting to send/receive mail in-between swaps.

I received a nice card from @Amfkinney today. Thank you.

I bought Stash in Alberta and it’s also available here in PEI. Walmart carries it in the US, according to Google.
