In an eclectic shop in Colmar, called Le Hameau, I found a huge selection of recycled, colorful envelopes that I used to send home post cards (the French send post cards in envelopes–it costs the same, doubles the writing space and protects the privacy of your notes!). I sent some postcards this way and some the old-fashioned American way and had a few envelopes left over. In this shop, I also found a beautiful book of multi-colored, 100% cotton paper:
I don’t know what I’ll do with it just yet, but I had to bring it home!
Wow! I wonder if it was the lack of envelope that caused the delay? I always wish I could learn what happens to mail that takes a really long time to show up. Exactly where was it sitting that whole time?
