It’s in the mail

mail-art

Are you waiting on mail from me? It will arrive soon, I promise! My to-write snail-mail list is loaded up as high as this little train full of stamps. In fact as of today I owe more than 40 people a letter, and that list grows every day.

I don’t like to rush these things because when I write to you, dear stranger, I want to think about you. I want to tell you stories, little snippets from my life. I want to imagine your life: what it might be like, what your home might look like. I want to make a gift for you that is a bit special. And I want to paint up your mail with your address to make it interesting for you – and your postman – and to hopefully make you feel special. Because you ARE special. Your mail is coming, I promise. I haven’t forgotten you.

Yours truly and most sincerely,
Naomi xo

    The envelope that you posted looks fantastic! I know I’ll be happy to see some lovely mail whenever it turns up :)

    It’s easy to forget how much time even really fun little promises can take– this month I committed to writing a poem postcard to a stranger for every day in August , and somehow my list grew to writing 3 every day!

    It’s still a pleasure, but the pressure is on, & then there is all the real everyday stuff that still has to be done.

    All that is to say, hang in there and keep making your beautiful things — without having to watch the clock (or calendar) ! :)

    love this cute envelope
    how do you keep track of all the mail you owe?
    are you organised enough to have a spreadsheet or is it a bit random like me??
    (I owe you one! It’s in the pipeline!)
