The one with the mail art

The documentary 'making mail' is about mail art and was released at the end of last year. I know, I'm a bit late to the party.... It's just over an hour long and it's filled with all sorts of loveliness, enjoy!

Do you like watching documentaries? If there's a good one you want me to know about, please feel free to share in the comments below.

  This post should be renamed to 'the food I liked this week', I celebrated Easter with lots of chocolate

I received this awesome card from Diane last week

The one with the things I liked this week (62)

Gorgeous Russian stamps.

I didn't really feel like visiting the thriftshop, but on those days I usually find the best treasures. Like yesterday.

My aunt found this box of old carbon paper. I love the design of the packaging. 

A happy looking pedestrian.

And another happy looking guy

Today is my birthday. I do like parties and get-togethers with friends. My birthday though, not so much. I guess I feel like I should have accomplished more since the last one. Am I the only one who struggles with the birthday blues? On the other hand, an important part of most birthdays is food. And I happen to like food! A lot. There's birthday cake waiting in the fridge, tonight I'll meet up with friends to have Indian food, and my aunt invited me for dinner tomorrow evening. On sunday I might need to take a very big walk....

I hope you'll have a fabulous weekend!

The one with World Post Day

Did you know that today is World Post Day? It happens every year on october 9 and was first declared at the Universal Postal Union Congress in Tokyo in 1969. I'm an old fashioned girl that loves handwritten and stamped mail. Even though I don't collect stamps, I do appreciate a pretty one! Some of them are little pieces of art. Today I sent out mail to my granny, a friend I met in Spain (during a language course) and a friend who lives 2,5 hours away from me. And after work I've found two cards in my mailbox: hooray! Are there more 'real' mail lovers over here?

And another hooray! One of my bags got featured today over at Jillian's blog!
