WONDERING WHERE I'VE BEEN?

I've been busy, the opposite of dead.

A little opportunity has crept up on me and I'M OPENING A STORE! Well, TOMORROW, I`m opening a store.

Pictures to come soon.

Anyways, here's some mail I've been meaning to get around to posting for y'all!



For Dear Stephy, my partner in crime on the west coast.






Something a lil risque for another Steph, this one in Florida. Steph sent me a freakin BEAUTY of a postcard a while back with drips and other creepy things. One of my recent faves, fer sure.




For Angie Cope in Port Washington!






For sweetheart Bianca in Australia. Gurl makes the coolest shit and has a great style!




Long overdue mail for Mary England in Maryland. This girl has sent me some great stuff and this postcard hopefully relays the sentiment that I appreciate her mail, and soon she will get something to make up for my tardiness.






For DK in Illinois!




For April Kam, all the way in Hong Kong!






For my Canadian Favourite, Dewi in Toronto:




For MADGE (Deserves to be capitalized) in Spokane:



More and more and more things coming soon!

Valentine's Day Is My Favourite Crafting Holiday

So naturally, introducing: DIY Valentine's Day Kits by Varity Concert

Happy Love Day, y'all!

I love material posessions.

Especially ones pertaining to paper and crafts.
What better place to spend a gorgeous Saturday than at the 2011 Halifax Crafters' Spring Fling. 'Twas heaven.



I've documented a small bit of my new treasures. Check it out:


Screenprinted mini show poster postcards (Didja catch that?) by Halifax's favourite golden boys YO RODEO!


And from Co-hort Fish Bone Prints, a bad-ass Mother's Day card (which I didn't give to my mother on the special day, because she wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do)



Tapes from local band Cold Warps to send to BFF Ben


I also sent one of these to Ben, a beautiful print made by talented Will. I can't stay away from his table at craft fairs, and I make sure to get two of all the best things.


Will was also selling beautiful Printed Matter envelopes with delightful bits filling it up. So cool.


Collages for display, also by Will. Just can't get enough.


I am only now realizing how long this post might be if I include all the items I've documented, so I'll break it up between two posts. More in a couple of days!

One Day Late...

Happy Mother's Day!

SHOPPING TRIP!

I just found this video in my photo bucket from last winter when my best friend Ben and I went on a roadtrip to Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. This was after a particularly successful shopping trip in Toronto. We're both paper-holics and decided to lay out everything we had gotten.

See what you can see: postcards, cards, calendars, books, stickers, old things, photos, notebooks, ephemera, and obviously more....



I really miss Ben right now, so if you don't mind, I'm going to take a walk down Memory Lane right now!

Works In Progress

Current craft floor:
Some messy, right?

I feel like this blog has just turned into my Mailart365 Blog...

I have some other things coming soon, though.
I'm preparing for TWO, Maybe THREE markets where I'll be selling my stuff, and hopefully since I'm doing so much MAKING, I'll be able to update my Etsy as well! I've been getting lots of mail lately too, which I will show you sometime soon.

But for now- a mass upload of postcards for mailart365.com!!

Still just trying to catch up with all of my scanning and uploading.
I still have another huge batch to scan in before I send them off. Wish me luck everyone! Mailart365 is lots of fun, but computers are hard, AmIright?!
Here's number 45 to 64.....With 54, 58 and 59 missing, but I'll find them on my computer somewhere....
