Lovely mention on Anchored Scraps

I recently got an etsy order from Helen, who blogs about at AnchoredScraps.com. Here's her angle:

"Through her website and blog, Helen is looking to connect with kindred storytellers who are likewise looking for insights on how to balance our 21st Century technological lifestyles with the joy of traditional communication methods."

Sounds pretty great to me! Helen was pleased enough with her recent order from me to write a lovely, photo-rich blog post about Missive Maven original mail-themed stationery. Thanks, Helen! Go check out Anchored Scraps: it's full of great mail- and writing-related goodness.

A desk of one's own

Some of my postcards were recently featured in a lovely blog post called A desk of one's own from Little Yellow Couch. It talks about setting up a dedicated writing space, with all kinds of fine accessories, and has lovely photographs with engaging text. Specifically, she featured my Swallow's Air Mail Garden postcard set, and I'm so pleased with the way they look on her lovely desk! For a great post with some writing desk eye candy, do check it out. You can also follow her on Twitter.

It's so important to have a desk of one's own!

I'm featured on the Postcrossing blog today!!

Today is exciting beyond words: my etsy items (and this blog, too) are featured on the Postcrossing blog!!

I have been an enthusiastic member of Postcrossing for more than 7 years now, and I follow the wonderful Postcrossing blog very closely, so this just has me over the moon.

Just had to share the fantastic news!

Reconstructing the blog list

Okay, so now I know I have to reconstruct my blog lists. (Anyone who's thinking of taking their blog to a direct URL, be warned!)

If your blog used to be listed here and isn't any more, let me know. If there's a blog you think should be listed here, let me know. I reserve the right to decide whether or not to list it, of course, and the truth of the matter is that the blog lists were always in flux anyway...

I'm just trying to view this as an opportunity for spring cleaning.

Tra la la...

When my letters show up on other blogs

The artistic gal behind Damaged goods blogged about my latest letter to her in her Now back to your regularly scheduled post blog post. Fun! As usual her photographs are more interesting than mine, and she photographed every sheet of the Sanjay Patel Goddesses stationery set I used. Take a look!

Hee hee! Another letter blogged!

I sent this...


...and just saw this:

Kittens on the back

Gee whiz, this is fun! Above is what I sent, below what I received:

Ribbons and Stars and Diamonds and Hearts Too!

(I didn't get the cute bunny, but that's okay. A letter is better.)

Thanks, GirlZootZilla!
