Hello all!
Thanks for the well wishes! I was out and about today picking up a few items at the local grocery store when what did I run into . . . stationery! I have been so good about not buying new stationery items and trying to use up some of the massive amounts of stationery that I already own, but one look at the kitten with the rubber duckies, and I was smitten.
There's something to be said for a smaller town post office. It's kind of like the sitcom Cheers "Where everybody knows your name!" and how to get you to spend a few bucks!
And finally I had to stop in at work for a quick meeting. When to my surprise, I find a stack of paper on my desk. I don't know about you guys, but I am a dumping ground for all things stationery. I don't really mind and even encourage it! With me the items will have a good home till they find their way to others in letters or as presents.
Everybody at work knows about my hobby, because I typically send my outgoing mail from there. My coworkers love to look at the envelopes and on a very rare occasion, add a few touches if they think the envelopes need a little extra something!
Well that's my day of errands. Now I am home and still coughing. I think the next step is a cup of tea and some rest!
Hope this finds you all busy, but not too busy to enjoy the simple pleasures.

My local grocery store is also my main place to pick up postcards for postcrossing and other exchanges. Although, the puzzled looks I get at checkout make me wonder, am I am the only one buying them?
Also on the errands for today, I stopped in to check my P.O. Box. While there, I ran into my favorite postal clerk. We chat a lot about my hobby. She informed me today of the new stamps out since the last time I saw her, and of course, I had to buy a few sheets of each.

The top 3 packs are paper and the bottom 3 are 3 blank cards with 3 envelopes per pack. |
