Mailbox Goodies: Pen Pal Goods

Two of my sweet pen pals, Tanja and Jennie, have sent along some very useful things for me to enjoy - ink samples and stationery!

Tanja sent me this adorable post card (which looks like her very own art work) along with Noodler's Habanero and Noodler's Lexington Grey.
Tanja's Parcel
Jennie sent me very cute (and random, another of my favorite things) stationery cards, some lemon ginger tea to try out - yes, I very much enjoy teas - stickers, and a hilarious To/From.
Jennie's Parcel
To: The Ink Harlot (that would be me.)
From: The Paper Tramp (that would be Jennie.)
Awesome.
Thank you both! One can never have too many inks or stationery. ... Right? Besides, I use both on a daily basis!

    I like the green ink on the envelope, I never dared to use colorful inks in letters, just in case some water get on it during transit (however unlikely that is).

    I'm so glad you liked the stationery - I do my best to enable my friends. After all, if I"m going to be an addict I want to drag all my friends along with me;) Maybe I should change my FPGeeks handle to Papertramp:D

    Very nice! Not overly gingery - quite nicely balanced. I went to get some more but the place didn't carry Twinings which is shameful. This will also be perfect when I'm not feeling well. I can't have ginger in huge quantities so this was a good blend.

    Agreed, lovely ink. I put a thin layer of beeswax over my addresses on envelopes when I use ink on them :) Just in case water splashes on them. Maybe it won't protect them 100% but hopefully enough that they will remain legible enough!
