Postage

I have been going through my archives this past month as part of my spring cleanse.
 I found this worn envelope I saved,
that I loved for it's colorful stamps, postage marks and beautiful handwriting.

 I ordered fantastic calendars from Flora Douville that traveled in this envelope,
  pleasing the eyes of many who caught a glimpse.

Glass Stones on Wood

I'm not the only one who loves
 the look and feel of these
 small glass stones on

pastel / painted wood pieces.

We also used crayon shavings 

for additional  texture and color.

Nicey.
