eeBoo stationary

I think I was at Daedalus Books in Maryland several months ago when I picked up this cute stationary.  It's made by eeBoo and they say on the packaging that they are "Children's Stationary".  Psssh. What do they know?

I got two different designs, one "Peaceful Letter Papers":

 Nice bright colors and I thought they went perfectly with the Romare Bearden stamps.

The actual stationary is quite small, perhaps that's why they say that it's for children.  But it is still really nice for a quick note.  

And now we get to the "peaceful" part of it. Included are 20 stickers of a child's face and the word for peace in a different language.

very nice

And here is the "Lucky Letter Papers" set (stickers in this 1st photo aren't part of it) :

I don't understand some of the images in this set... there are papers of 5 designs, one with a shooting star as above, one with a 4 leaf clover, one with a horse shoe. Those are clear enough. But then there is a jumping hare/rabbit.  Perhaps for a rabbit's foot? And finally there is an elephant's head. Is there some lucky legend about elephants that I'm not aware of?

I really like this new stationary, but I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for sale at Daedalus because I'm a cheap skate.  Or maybe because I'm unemployed.

MJ gave me a few sheets of this stationery from a visit to New Mexico; such a pretty letterhead.

I paired it with some cactus stamps, it seemed very fitting with the theme, although I don't really know what kinds of cactus grow in NM.

Letters in the Park

Who is that letter going to??

I've been trekking over to the small nearby park a lot.  To eat strawberries, write letters, and read when alone... or to practice a little baseball with my boyfriend.  My back is really aching from swinging that bat yesterday!

Here is some recent incoming mail.  I love seeing mail I sent on other blogs and get very behind in posting the mail that I receive.  I plan to really try to keep up to date on that so that my penpals can have that pleasure.

mail from the Missive Maven, a new correspondent, Clara, and two wedding related invitations!  Thank goodness that everyone still sends real mail for that! :-D

From Felicia in Canada. Such a cool stamp!
