x4 Thank you u/PinkPengin for this awesome mail :D You can see the mail here: https://imgur.com/a/OJIUDns

The cards arrived in an envelope with some beautiful penmanship going on! Your handwriting is absolutely gorgeous :O the envelope itself had a pre-printed illustration of a cactus, and you included an address tag in the top left corner, which has an illustration on it of a penguin with a shoulder bag and a blue hat, which kinda looks like those navy flat hats that Donald Duck wears :)

The stamps are a gorgeous mix of new and old, one stamp featuring an illustration of some gorgeous architectural buildings: "Richard Morris Hunt 1828-1895 Biltmore Asheville NC". This is accompanied by a stamp of the Webb Space Telescope, and a stamp of the underside of a skateboard, which has been expertly illustrated!

There were a lot of great cards here, so starting off with the biggest one, it features bigfoot! It's by Zinnia Sky studio, by Tracy Foltz ~ the card is double-sided, white, and has marvelous illustration of bigfoot amidst pinetrees, and a small sign that reads: "I <3 Arizona". On the inside of the card, you wrote with a purple and blue pen! In that gorgeous handwriting of yours :) I do love mythical creatures! Bigfoot is a fun one ~ there's quite a few of those big hairy monsters, like the yeti? I wonder how it all came about haha :)

The next card is a postcard! It has a green to yellow ombre, going bottom to top, and has a vintage-esque illustration of a snail, along with a postlady holding a, frankly massive, envelope - next to her are some massive white lettering that read: "Send by Snail Mail"! The art and postcard were created by M.N John, who has a website by the same name ~ he has some really gorgeous illustrated postcards, so thank you for sharing this with me :D

The next card is also mythically themed! It's a white postcard with a watercoloured illustration of a mermaid tail going down into the waves ~ above and below it are texts in various fonts and sizes, as well as various shades of blue! It reads: "international mermaid museum. Westport, Washington. Be a mermaid and make waves" - the museum is dedicated to teaching about ocean ecology from seashore to sea floor, whilst being immersed in mermaid mythology. I've never heard of a mermaid museum, but it sounds so dang cool!! Have you been there yourself?

The final card is a beautiful postcard featuring abstract art with a textured blue background, and on top, the lettering: "Yes!" In a sorta typewriter font! This card is extra special, because it was created by yours truly :) you've even got your own shop on redbubble, which I was unaware of - but you've got some gorgeous and exciting designs on there :o thank you for sharing the card with me <3

Along with the cards, you also included a washi tape sample of this deep blue tape, with a lighter blue and white streaks and patterns in it, which makes it look like those snowflakes or Christmas stars we had to make in school, using a single sheet of paper and scissors :) i like this continuous colour theme im spotting throughout the mail haha

Thank you so so much for all of these gorgeous cards, for the washi sample, and for the kind words <3 I appreciate the parting gift for when I'm away, and I hope that autumn and winter treats you kindly :) thank you once again 💛🍂
