WOYWW 679: The ATCs

 

I checked this evening and have not heard from Mary Anne.  I hope she has received her ATC and postcards I sent.

I'll begin with the ATC I sent Julia, our host and head desker, since she informed me she received it.  When I finally took the photos off my camera, I was shocked how out of focus everything was.

Only one close up was readable.  The rest were mush.  When I saw the ones Jan made, I about fell over.  They are SO similar in thought.  Like we read each other's minds!

This is the ATC I received from Robyn, my PIF partner.

Looks like the envelope was caught in the machine that cancels the postage.

I suspect you were curious about what was sitting on the envelope.   It's my latest rocking horse

and the only rocking horse bank I have ever been given or own.  It's incredibly heavy and beautiful.  Note Wendy lurking in the background.

But it was time to open the envelope, which Robyn had stamped front and back.

Inside was a smaller envelope.

And this is the ATC I received.

I simply had to take a close up.  Look at that faux weave she created.  Thank you Robyn and thank you Julia for being our desker queen and keeper of the party.

Thanks for stopping by my desk today.  Please join me at Julia's, where you will meet the kindest, most generous bloggers in the world. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow, please check your spam folder!

  7. Love your ATCs, how funny yours and Jan's were so similar - great minds... as they say! The little rocking horse is a beauty and very lucky to find a lovey home with you! I do love the card in the background with the tree and the bicycle.
    Hope you have a great week,

  8. Thanks for sharing your great ATC's It is a relief to know what we send out is received. Our IOWA mail sucks. My granddaughter's homemade birthday card is no where to be found. Mailed 5/23 for her day of 5/26 200 miles away...3 postal sorts involved and as of today it's not arrived or returned. Rant over !!!
    I love your silver rocking horse. What a fun treasure. Have a great week and enjoy the lost Sunshine.

  16. Gosh that rocking horse bank is lovely isn’t it. Will make a great paperweight, empty or full! Amazing how similarly styled your ATC and Alan’s are, both say so much about WOYWW, I’m actually now a little surprised that more of us didn’t think that way! Still revelling in my received goodies, I do love postcards and story tellers!

  21. I hope your power problems have improved - such a pain to have to boil your water too. I love the little horse - I wonder how many you have? xx Jo

  22. Wow, our ATCs were definitely on the same track - great minds think alike and all that! I loved Robyn’s too, so beautiful and the text was gorgeous. These mini works of art have made me so happy over the past few weeks. Im sorry to hear about the power/water problems though, what a pain - we take everyday things for granted and it’s awful when something goes wrong. Hope things have improved by now.

  23. sometimes a rocking horse is symbolically a word for an obsession or special collector’s love. I think it’s fun that you collect literal rocking horses, and they all look wonderful.

    As for Covid, I'm not vaccinated and caught it back in February so hoping I have some natural immunity now. Everyone is getting back to stuff so I thought I'd give it a go. Hugs BJ#18
