obsessed with this type of envelope design. when i went to the philippines in march, i bought a ton of these for super cheap. i kept telling my bf these are like $20 bucks on etsy!!! (ok an exaggeration - but they are def not the cheapest design out there right now) hahah - love it. good collection, danni!

Dancing Branflake said...

Amazing! I cherish all my international letters mostly because of the lovely blue and red design on the sides of the envelope. So wonderful!

Another perfectly lovely collection, Danni. I really love the airmail colors down the curtain -- it's such a cute detail. And let's face it: whose heart doesn't do a little cartwheel when you get to that mailbox and discover a little handwritten something addressed to you? It's heaven.

I am in love with the picture of the little mailbox with the hand putting in the tiny envelope.

What lovely goods. When my boyfriend and I lived apart in our respective countries (US and UK) last summer, he sent me letters on proper white-with-red-and-blue airmail stationary. It was so old school and sweet!

*sigh* i want to live in these photos. i've always loved airmail envelopes... growing up, i used to look through my mom's old letters from korea thinking how pretty the red and blue stripes and the pale blue envelopes were. there's something romantic about airmail envelopes isn't there? ^_^
