Nanski wrapped her design around the envelope. It has a little bit of a Zentangle feel to it. I wonder if she was looking at something or just let it blossom out of her head. The soft gray-ish and tan-ish shading is very nice and coordinates nicely with the stamp.

Oooof. I have 14 envelopes loaded and need to talk about them.
I'll write [more?] in the title and maybe things will come up to add to these posts.

OK - here's something I found when I was reminiscing about my walk in the rain with Ben. I wondered when his school was built. The school website says a wooden building was replaced in 1902 with a brick building. The kindergartners and first graders use a door on the side of the building that has GIRLS ENTRANCE carved over the door. I wonder if anyone even notices it.
This is just a side entrance. The opposite side of the building must have had a boys entrance. There has been a gymnasium addition on that side - so no carving.
The website had lots of history and information. The school still teaches cursive. But - YIKES - they must not work on the proper way to hold a pen. Actually - I've seen worse.
