la postale.

There were so many great vintage stamp stores in Paris! Near our hotel was a little indoor alleyway that had a ton of them! They sold packs of vintage stamps from all over the world, new stamps, postcards, etc.

p.s. This was a window display from one of the stores.

I got a great package in the mail the other day from one of my dear penpals Tiffany!

She mailed me some delicious caramels and chocolates from clever turnip in Colorado!

I received mine in the mail yesterday and it is everything I expected and more! There is nothing better than the feeling of a freshly printed magazine in your hands, and it is even better when it is dedicated to stationery! Pick up your copy at one of the following stores or order online.

p.s. The cover of this issue is also scratch n' sniff!

"The art of correspondence has never been more valuable than it is today, whether you are penning a note of thanks or sending a birthday card. No electronic medium can replicate the tactile joy of a beautiful greeting card - the feel of the card in your hands or the soft sound of opening it."
