Another mailbox card


If you've read here at my Christmas kitchen for long, you know my love of cards depicting mailboxes.  I can't even say for sure why I like these images so much, only that they seem to speak of a more civilized era, a simpler, kinder, better way of life.  A sort of reminder of innocence and the way life should be, I guess.

This mailbox card is a newer one, but I like everything about it: the weathered post the mailbox sits on, the falling snow, the greenery, pine cones, and red berries, and the sweet cardinals and chickadees.  This summer, interestingly, we have both cardinals and chickadees in our yard.  We have never had cardinals on our property before, to my knowledge.  It is so much fun to realize we have them nesting here this summer.

Happy Christmas in July!  Do you enjoy cards with a particular theme or from a particular era?

  2. I like to find cards that feature our local area in some way when we first move to a new location. I found a great card with cardinals the first year we moved to Virginia, a card with a New England-style scene when we moved to Rhode Island, and a Chicago skyline when we were in Illinois. This year's card features the Bringing Home the Tree in a red truck because I am in love with that design. It seemed to be really popular last year but since we were moving across the country in November/December, I completed missed out on any shopping for things with that design. Pottery Barn had a great pillow. I'm hopeful that there will be some items featured this year in the stores or at craft fairs.

    1. That is a wonderful idea, Pamela, to find cards that feature your local area in some way.

      I'm with you on the Bringing Home the Tree design ... I love them too. In fact, I have an entire Pinterest board with that theme! Find it here: Bringing Home the Tree. Lots of ideas there!
