Dec from Kate -Marji with a J - celebrating ZIP Code Day

 

This is from Kate - very pretty gold ink. The address reminds me of French Roundhand. I like this style with the Holiday Joy stamp and the placement of the stamp is very nice with the cancel.

And then there was this wonderful card.

It's so pretty.

I wonder how many she made. They would have taken some time - with the drawing and dotting and collageing and stitching. She was really smart on the star to not stay in the lines. Or maybe she made the gold strokes first and then did the star over the top.

Either way - it's a beautiful card. Stealworthy.

I did a search and only found 7 posts that mention Marji - which seems odd. I feel like I would have mentioned lots more about Marji. We might have to have *Marji Week* some day. In the meantime - I will share something that I learned recently from Marji. She told me about ZIP code day. That's when your ZIP code matches the date on the calendar. I need to find out if she invented it - or if she heard about it somewhere. It sounds like something she would dream up. She's very creative.

Marji's ZIP code is 53024 - so on 5-30-24 - May 30th, 2024 - she and her posse had a celebration. I'll have to get back to Marji for details. But - I wanted to jump on this to alert any of the readers that if your ZIP code ends in 25 you might be able to celebrate this year. 

As a 50312 person, I missed my chance to celebrate on May 3, 2012. 

If someone has a ZIP code that ends in 2025, they could have a month long celebration. 52025 - could celebrate in May of this year.

*** a coffee fueled add on - ignore it if you have things you should be doing. Nobody on my exchange lists lives in these places - but maybe some of you know people who do -- and you can alert them. But, celebrating for a whole month is not nearly as much fun as having your ZIP code be a. specific day.

I found some places that could celebrate for the entire month: 

Broadalbin, NY. is 12025 so they could have celebrated in January

Dumfries, Virginia is 22025 (also portions of Cherry Hill) can celebrate in February

Lake City, Florida is 32025 - March

Benton, Kentucky can celebrate in April with their 42025 

52025 is not in use in the US - but there is a town in Italy with that postal code - Montevarchi (Toscana, Italy)

Edwardsville, Illinois can celebrate in June with 62025. 

Casa, Arkansas has 72025. 

Boone, Colorado has 82025 

Escondido, California can wrap things up in September with 92025. 

Cohasset, Massachusetts can celebrate all year - 02025.
