It's Late...

...and I want to shower and go to bed early so this will be a short post.

I wanted to share with you a great bit of mail art that I received on Monday from Nancy Rafi in Rhode Island.  She sent her Small Studio Workshop registration in this:

Note that the PO number was somehow missing in action and yet miraculously it found my mailbox. Actually when I walked into the PO the mail people were all smiling and just waiting for me to see this wonderful envelope.  Definitely they enjoy it as much as I do.  Love my Avon Lake postal staff.

Here is the reverse side:

Everyone in the PO had to handle and touch the envelope.  It has great texture since each little bit of design is a separate piece of paper collaged into a whole piece, then made into the envelope.  It is a work of art.  Thank you Nancy Rafi.  I look forward to meeting you this summer during the workshops. 

In fact I send you a

 for your thoughtfulness.

Pillows are from ClothKits in the UK. I have been thinking about sending away for these, but I haven't done any needlepoint or crewelwork in decades.  Aren't they sweet?

Hi T,
I dont think I am up to tackling these pillows, but with all the needlework you have been doing of late, I think you could easily make these.
Be sure to post photos when you finish so I can idolize you from afar!

Hey Ginny - thanks for posting the photos of my envelope...who knew it would make so many people smile? Don't know what happened to the PO # though - that's a mystery! Isn't it fun to get funky mail? Looking forward to meeting you at the Teesha Moore class in June!
