Friday Finds

{stack of mail from here}

Happy Friday, everyone! Are you looking forward to the weekend? I have lots of projects planned and I’m very excited to do a little autumn baking.

I thought I’d share with you these two sweet mail-related ideas I found around the web over the last few weeks. Do you write real letters and send them with a stamp? It’s such a novelty these days and no matter how convenient email is, getting a letter in the mail is still so thrilling.

Newspaper Taxi is having a “We Love Mail” competition. You send a little treat from your desk (stickers, a note card, that sort of thing) to them and they’ll pick three names from all the people who send in mail. Then those three people will win all the treats sent in! Now that would be a fun package to get. Stationary bits from around the world would be a very fun surprise.

Crane Paper is running a simpler project – mail them a letter and they’ll mail you back. An instant little pen pal! And you’ll be entered to win a selection of Crane Paper stationary. Very luxurious.

While I understand both of these projects are good publicity and marketing for the blog or company, it’s also a really nice idea. I love the idea of bringing back mailed letters so I think I’m going mail off these two this weekend along with another few letters to people I actually know!

Have a lovely weekend!
