man, blink and you miss it is how this month has felt! anyone agree? i've been really into shades of orange the past few years so i relish this time of the year for the autumn decor, clothes, MAIL, and leaves. i was proud that instead of buying new string lights for the season, i attached fake orange and brown maple leaves (that i already had) to my existing string lights, and they look so good! i'm trying to be mindful of not buying more than i need. i've been taking it easy, not doing as many things this month as in summer, and my cat has been super snuggly as the weather changes (which is kind of rare!). here is an adorable cat tax photo from this morning. i love her so so much! and now the thanks:

​

u/dubiousgoose - trick or treat RAoC magic happened: i almost bought myself the same skeleton kitty cat card you sent me! i saw it at the grocery store a month ago, and it was so cute but felt too $$ at the time, so i took a photo of it and bid it goodbye. and then i received my very own in the mail from you! thank you so much, it was such a happy surprise!

u/DianaPenPal - no risk, no reward postcard <3 i didn’t see the harvest moon but i love when the moon appears extra large in the sky. did you write the haiku? i love it!

u/SatanekoChan - thanks for the orange “we post we care” card, the letter illustrations and color are very cool. i also love this discussion we had about "normal" sparkling water and flavored sparkling water - hilarious :D

u/ScoobySquads - thank you for the postcard and the two book recommendations, i really appreciate the approachable sci-fi rec in particular. i love updating my goodreads account it's such a dopamine hit 😂

u/travellincat - thanks for the WPD card - love the stamps. how did sending out 100 cards go?! was there a best and a worst part of it?

u/Sad-Storm6692 - love the handmade postcard with all kinds of cool stickers especially the golden FORK sticker and the halloween big bird. mm coffee with hazelnut creamer is a treat

u/sugarmagandjohn - WPD postcard: thank you for sharing your surprising joy of cooking ! i also like to cook. a few friends and i have been doing a monthly cooking club for a whole year now! we took a few summer months off, but we just did one last weekend and it was so lovely, including the conversation

u/alluu3 - WPD postcard: i used to do reddit gifts too! i have a coffee mug i adore from it, and also grilled cheese socks. i did an international snacks exchange once and my sender never sent to me, and i never got rematched despite asking about it many times - it was such a huge disappoint, i think i'm still not over it

u/Sufficient_Letter883 - thanks for the WPD card with the lisa frank stickers! yesss!

u/According_Skin_3098 - this postcard with the blue flowers by artist becky amelia is so pretty and gentle. i enjoyed displaying this card. thanks for the winter commiseration! ;)

u/theinnerspiral - thanks for the WPD postcard. i like the cute happy leaf sticker and your handwriting!

u/catnatomy - love this card with the iridescent jungle animal stickers. you flower drawing is beautiful! thanks for the stickers, too. the skeleton hand holding the heart that says “rare gem” is pretty great. is that a brand or a band or anything, or just a random sticker phrase?

u/necogasuki - thanks for the halloween exchange card! when i saw the envelope i said oo spooky and cute! and then the card itself said “the perfect mix of spooky and sweet” - ha! perfect indeed. adorable cat. thank you and thanks for the stickers and info about your shop

u/alyxandr1a - thanks for the birthday/WPD card - cute ink stamps!
