Mail Week 47 (2/3) - Outgoing ❄

Here's the part two of this week's mail! 

Here are two things I've sent out this week (more in the part 3 haha :D) :

First a Coin Swap to the Netherlands, I sent three Finnish euro coins ↴ 

And I also sent an Instagram swap to Gülin in Turkey (Bursa♥) ↴

I sent her a lot of different envelopes & other stationary, chewing gum, tea and some tape which you can't really see because stupid me >_< (Gülin: I had to change the glitter to a flatter one because it was a bit too thick, I hope you don't mind ♥)

The stamps (I don't know what I was thinking when I put the left one like that haha) :) ↴

Ps. It's snowing also in my village now! I can't decide whether I like it or not. I like snow because it might make it look brighter and prettier outside BUT if the snow isn't going to last for long (which I'm sure it doesn't), there's gonna be slush. And a lot of it. And sleet. But let's just hope that's not gonna happen soon! :D Has it already snowed in your country/town? ❄

Mail Week 47 (1/3) - Incoming

As I promised, I've got a lot mail to show you! I'll post all my mail of week 47 in three parts, this is the part one! :) In this one there will be only some of the incoming mail I've received this week (still not all of it :D)...

First a pretty letter from Poland! I love it, thanks Martyna! ♥ ↴

(It's funny how the letter came to me even though it says only "Melissa". There's only my last name written on the mailbox , not even the number of my house. The mailman must have learned that all the pretty envelopes are for me xD)

Also I received this cutie from Germany (look at those owls! ♥) ↴

 Thanks, Daria!! You have no idea how much I love everything you sent! I mean, look at those stickers for example :D

Aaand also my stamp order arrived! I wanted to use some of the stamps instantly so I had to take pictures of them in the evening ---> the reason for that awful lightning >_<

These are my faves at the moment! ↴

I'm so excited to use these new Christmas stamps, they're so pretty and shimmery ♥ ↴

Stay tuned for part 2! ♥

Tiger = Paradise (Haul!! ♥)

First to my penpals & others who I'm swapping with: I have received a lot of mail lately, probably also yours (Don't worry, it's just me being lazy :D), and I'll show them here tomorrow. Also, I've sent some mail but it'll take longer for them to arrive because of the strikes..

My number one favorite crafting store in Finland is definitely Tiger! You always find something that you just desperately need - even though you've never before even known that the item existed. Do you guys feel me? Does that ever happen to you? You just see something and you have know idea how you've lived without it :D So obviously I'm doing a little Tiger haul now, partly because I want to and partly because there's no mail coming in a few days because of the postal strikes in Finland.

Jee, välillä taas kirjoittelua suomeksikin! :) 

Eli Tiger on oikeasti mun ehdoton lemppari kaikista Suomen askartelu- ja tilpehöörikaupoista. Jotenkin mä satun aina löytämään sieltä asioita, joita en ennen edes tiennyt tarvitsevani.. :D Käykö teille koskaan niin? Kuitenkin, ajattelin nyt kirjoittaa pienen postauksen löydöistäni! Nyt kun ei postikaan oikein kulje, on kiva kirjoitella muista jutuista.

Also one thing that makes me love Tiger more is how the packages have those funny little texts on them, such as "Did you know that the average person spends 2 weeks of his/her life waiting for a traffic light to change?" or "A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." -Gandalf the Grey. ♥ 

Mä tykkään myös tosi paljon noista hauskoista pikku teksteistä pakettien ja pakkausten päällä, kuten "Did you know that the average person spends 2 weeks of his/her life waiting for a traffic light to change?" tai "A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." -Gandalf the Grey. :)

I might also like these cute shopping bags, just a bit ;) ↴

Address labels 1€ & (parchment paper) envelopes 2€  ✿  Etiketit, joista ainakin osaa ajattelin käyttää osoitteiden kirjoittamiseen (1€) ja ihanat pergamenttipaperiset kirjekuoret 2€ 

One of the impulse purchases, a DIY jigsaw puzzle (1€) . I have some potential using ideas for it, let's see which one I'll do :D  ✿  Palapeli, jonka voi itse koristella (1€ ). Mulla on muutamia ideoita, mitä tekisin sillä, mutta katsotaan nyt milloin saan inspiraation toteuttaa jonkun ideoistani :D

These tapes aren't from Tiger, I think I found them from Suomalainen Kirjakauppa (Finnish bookstore). They were something around 3€  ✿  Nämä nätit teipit taisin löytää Suomalaisesta Kirjakaupasta! Oli pakko ottaa, kun maksoivat vain 3€ ^^

And last but not least, small heart stickers (0.5 €) and tiny flags that I got for 2€ ✿ Pieniä sydäntarroja, joilla on kyllä aina käyttöä ja suomenlippuja. Tarrat maksoivat 50 senttiä ja liput 2€

Surprisingly, I didn't buy that much! :D But those were my latest purchasings anyway, I hope you liked them as much as I do haha ^^ See you again tomorrow! ✿ Ihme kyllä, en loppujen lopuksi ostanutkaan niin paljoa kuin yleensä! Toivottavasti kuitenkin tykkäsitte tästä lyhyestä esittelystä :) Huomenna siis taas palaillaan!

Mail, mail, mail..

First of all: It's been a very dreary day which means crappy light, I'm sorry about that. :/

Anyway, here are two things to show you from last week. Mail is traveling soooo slowly these days because of the postal strikes :c I have a lot of mail traveling either to or from (or in, too) Finland and it's taking so long..

This postcard is for the first chain card project that I've ever joined and I'm so excited! The path will be Finland - Scotland - Hong Kong- USA - Finland :)

And here is a letter I received from Chloe, Hong Kong ^^

I love the writing paper!!! :) Thank you!

Oh, and last weekend I was at the Finnish Handicrafts 2015 Fair (Käsityömessut Tampereella) and I thought of making a short post about that as well when I have time. :)
