mailing a letter

First you learn to write. 

Maybe as fancily as this calligraphy stamp designed by artist Brody Neuenschwander, 





though maybe not written with a quill pen

When you are satisfied with your message, you find a postbox 
and maybe it goes on a ship across the seas to make someone in a faraway land happy

  2. Wonderful stamps. I have received myself the one from Ukraine.
    And I love the way you wrote the story... Letterwriting is about storytelling, isn't it?
    Have a nice Sunday!

  4. Those large Belgian cast iron postboxes are a marvel, I only took a photo when I came across one, now I'm wishing I'd posted a letter in it like your imaginary one. The Aland stamp is so evocative.

  6. Clever way to present your stamps. I favour the Aland stamp as well, but I like the pen and ink stand from Ukraine.

  9. Such a beautiful story!

    I have the Ukrainan stamp, too, but my attention was distracted to the horse only, and didn't look well enough. Not before seeing the stamp again in your blog, as part of the mailing story, I realize that it's an inkwell!

  10. Nicely put together. That last stamp could tell a story all of its own I think.
