below is the first hit of the day on pinterest, if you do a search for envelopes. it says it is from a flickr photostream belonging to starofmay. but if you click on it, it seems empty. i wonder what the deal is with pinteret. if someone pins your image, and then you take your image down, is the image still on the interweb f-o-r-e-v-e-r? you better think twice about what you put up on the internet, eh?

i googled starofmay
and it led me to a blog and website of a crafter-designer

i imagine there are a ton of ideas on her blog.
i did not take time to surf.
