Visiting a store in Trondheim and came across this wall of post boxes - love them! Probably the only person in the world who stops to take photos of mailboxes on a trip but I thought they were lovely (not even sure which colour I would choose).

Mailbox Monday
So some super awesome people got my kids this super awesome mailbox for their birthdays (4 days apart...and 3 years too). Thank you Auntie Harmony, Uncle Dylan, Cohen & Everleigh!
Gift for Mom and kids - yep!

Mailbox Monday
Some more mailbox goodness from Ambiente (South Surrey Location). Look at that red beauty - just lovely! I see a couple of empty spaces on their wall - so some lovelies found new homes.
It's the little things...

P.S. Received my first scavenger hunt results - more about this later in the week!

Mailbox Monday
Welcome to a new little feature I am going to try (to keep up with) - Mailbox Monday!
There won't be a lot of text but at least one cool photo of a mailbox I love. This might be my favourite of all (that I've seen so far) and maybe I should be keeping it for last but why not start with something amazing. It's true - I covet this mailbox! It is for sale at one of my fav stores - Ambiente. It would look lovely on my front porch (as mentioned before...we do have a central mail pick up and have no need for an actual mailbox at our door but a girl can dream can't she). Dreaming about this beauty and what lovely mail it could hold.

Mailboxes...
When I was growing up our mail came through a slot in the door - a little brass window into our lives. It was a handy little thing if someone other than the mailman needed to drop something off too (a key, an invitation, money...). If I was home I was immediately alerted that the mail had arrived by the banging of the metal on the door. And I imagine my childhood neighbours with dogs probably were alerted a few seconds faster that their mail had arrived.
I have fond memories of sitting on our stairs, with the sun warming me through the "windows"around the door (in quotations because they were yellow, textured glass that you couldn't see through and made the entrance way look yellow - ah the 70s and 80s), flipping through the mail.
But what I coveted as a child was a real honest to goodness mailbox...the kind you find at the end of a long driveway on top of a post. Something you might see in more rural areas I guess. The kind that has the little red flag that the mail carrier flips up once mail has been deposited inside - so fun!
My next few mailboxes at various homes all turned out to be cubbies with lock and key (around the corner, in the lobby and now, in a "gazebo" type locale)...and don't get me wrong - love my little cubby and especially when it fills up with fun mail (like a beautiful dress for my daughter from my aunt - just in case "she has the urge to dance." The chiffon even fans out when she twirls - it is precious).
What I dream of now is of the mailboxes I saw in Italy and England - gorgeous wrought iron beauties. I'm contemplating getting one for my house (even though we have a central mail pick up area) but maybe my friends would drop things off for me...I'm hoping to do a post of mailboxes I love (coming soon to a blog near you...well actually this blog, stay tuned).
356/1000 Three thank you notes, one wedding invite reply (yay) and one just for fun! 5 more into the great wide open.
And can I just add that I know lots of people send out email wedding invites (saves money, is convenient) but a mailed paper wedding invitation is a beautiful thing to receive! The design, the vellum and all the possible fun responses for the reply card. Love.
