The pleasure of snail mail


 
 

 
A peaceful tuesday afternoon in june.
I'm preparing snail mail to a friend -
I hope, she will enjoy my gift.






 
As connected as we are - thanks to email -
there still is nothing like the sensation
of receiving or writing a handwritten letter
or a heartfelt snail mail gift.
 
I love the feeling, when I receive an un-expected envelope or box.
I know, that what's inside will make my day and make me happy.
 
I love the feeling, when I find just the right gift to give away
and I know, that the receiver will like it.
 
It's a gift to have pen pals in your life.
 
Do you have any pen pals...?

  1. Der er ikke noget så hyggeligt at komme hjem og der ligger et brev (og ikke et af dem med en rude i).
    Desværre er jeg en knold til det, men en ide om at folk jeg elsker skal have et rigtigt fødselsdagskort.
    Jeg tror helt sikkert at at den heldige modtager bliver glad.

  2. Det håber jeg, Pia, men jeg tror det. Desværre er jeg heller ikke altid lige god til at få den slags kreative hilsener afsted. Måske man skulle starte et kreativt kædebrev for at sætte inspirationen i gang.

  3. I agree, when i find snailmail in my mailbox i have a happy face :)
    And handwritten letters have so much more charm, i love seeing someones handwriting.
    I used to have penpals as a kid and still have them as a grown up, not the same anymore though. I write with people i met through my blog.
    Enjoy your happy mailbox Mette!
