It’s been wonderful to be back with my beau and dwelling in my beloved (and now clean) studio during the day, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss my beautiful family and friends from my recent trip home. One complaint about being in a small town is that it can get lonely, and this is one of the many reasons why I appreciate my pen pals, because their thoughtful letters and gifts often light up my days and make me feel loved. Coming back to be greeted by a pile of letters, and then spending a week collecting even more, made me realize that a lot of people miss me and think of me too.

As you can see I have my work cut out for me in terms of writing replies… however, I did send out 7 letters before leaving on my road trip, and so I will share those outgoing beauties with you tomorrow. There are also several zines and books (shown above) that deserve to be chronicled with a little more detail, so that will happen in another post some time soon! Hope you enjoyed peeking into my postbox, yet again :)
I love Barbara’s decorated envelopes!
