G o o d M o r n i n g.

After 2 years of stalking the SPSH project by Fab of snail mail love, I went ahead with signing myself on for this year's which took place in February. Initially, I had all these huge fantastic plans and assumed that I had plenty of time those couple of weeks to put everything together, but one thing after another happened, and I found myself left with less than a week to source and pack before deadline. I thought I did a pretty alright job despite being a bit rushed, and I had fun with the crafting.

From the given list of items to include in this Scavenger Hunt Mail, I chose : 

. The City Explorer's Kit

. Something That Represents You

. The Postal Freak's Kit

. Something Old Fashioned 

. Something To Read

The City Explorer's Kit

I made a folder filled with ephemera I collected recently and a few years back -Museum and event guides and flyers, postcards and vouchers, and a small packet of Saga Seeds I picked. ( Interesting fact : These little red saga seeds are sort of shaped like a heart and they grow on an Adenanthera pavonina tree. They were apparently quite a popular choice of gift among couples, I had no idea or maybe I forgot as I was too young to be interested and only collected them as a hobby )

The Postal Freak's Kit

A folder with paper goods to decorate mail or simply to include them in letters! My SPSH partner, Andrea, stated her liking for stamps, so I made sure to include a decent amount.

Lastly, we were tasked to find a gift for our partner, and since Andrea is a craft and creative enthusiast, I got her a pretty roll of turquoise ribbon from a local craft shop. Hope she will make lovely things with it!

What I received :

2 things surprised me about the SPSH package I received; firstly it arrived even before I sent out mine, and that it was from a fellow S'porean! Sharleeen ( ig : Sharbunnzy)  sent me an envelope filled with very interesting ephemera, from beautiful postcards to nostalgic stickers from Midori. ( Interesting fact : I've meant to get similar stickers a long time ago, but never really got around doing so because I figured I'd end up hoarding anyway since it's a bad habit of mine, so when I saw that she included some of these stickers as part of the mail, I completely lit up. )

Something Old Fashioned

Something Oddly-Shaped

A letter and a gift

Thank you Sharleen for selecting such lovely things for me! I honestly don't even know if I want to put any of them to use, simply because I don't wish to ruin what they already are. Thank you again!
