I hope I remember to come back and tell you what ink JeanR used -- it's almost neon. I love the details. I'm also excited that Jean is returning to our fair city very soon. I'm inviting myself to her studio to research Spencerian flourishing.
Here is the envelope that went to Peggy - and I do not have an image of Peggy's insert. I'm curious if the P is something JeanR came up with or if it is from an exemplar.
It's smart to position the stamp a little low - so the cancel just nips the top.
My son was telling me about interacting with the guys who *dislodge* the mail that gets all jammed up inside the sorter machines. He described the tool they use: "It's a broom without the broom part on it." I hope my BigHelpfulBrother (and uncle to my son) is getting a chuckle out of the name of this tool. Most of us old-timers are familiar with that important tool - the broom handle. Or broom stick. Not to be confused with the ax handle, AKA the enforcer.
I'm not going to bother with details -- but, man, if you ever find yourself working at the PO, be vigilant about keeping the broom handle where it is supposed to be. (If he remembers to ask me - I will tell him the full story.)
