I've got another submission for Postcard Friendship Friday hosted by Marie at Vintage Postcards. This carnival is devoted to the mail - postcards, stamps, mailboxes, or mailmen. If it's got a mail theme, I'm sure it's included in this fun carnival.This week Marie found some interesting info on Gone with the Wind and has included a postcard or two. Since Marie lives in France, she's already gotten to her Friday! So I'm going to celebrate Friday a bit early!
A few years ago my sister in law found this lovely stamp dispenser and mail scale.
It came in the original box.
It's a bummer that the new sticker stamps don't fit this little dispenser, but I did use it when we had the rolls of lickable stamps. They fit just right.
I used to collect McCoy pottery, in green, and one of the things I wanted so desperately was the green mailbox.
I was obsessed.
Every antique store or thrift store I kept my eyes open for McCoy, but mostly for this mailbox.
My friend found this one and bought it for me.
She bought it!
Goodness, I was floored.
and so happy.
I love it.
Thanks Bob :) (that's my name for her)
I hope you've enjoyed my little mailbox show and tell.
Hope on over to Vintage Postcards to see more fun finds.

Cherish a friend who's called Bob and who gives you such wonderful presents.

Oh how fun....
I can see why you wanted the green mailbox.....so cute.
I believe they still sell rolls of lickable stamps at the post office.
Have a beautiful weekend.
I've never seen a stamp dispenser - nor heard of rolls of stamps - before. It doesn't stop me wanting one though. :) Lovely post.
Wow--I've never seen one of those before--what a wonderful find!
Happy PFF!
You have some wonderful friends and family! I do too. We are both very lucky!!!
They are great! I had a mail truck stamp dispenser that dispensed the rolls. It wasn't vintage or anything...just cute. Now, I wonder where I put that!
I love the wall pocket! That is so pretty! What a sweet friend to buy it for you.
adorable series of pictures
have a nice weekend :)

Oh! It is Mailbox's birthday today (again again again)!
These are very cute! I like that you collect something original :)
what precious finds!
oh, i did get some free postcards at the thousand islands skydeck in ontario, then mailed them to friends from the states! haha. you're not alone!
Honestly, I dont have a mailbox. It is because all my mails addressed in the office. I realized I want to have one soon. Thanks for sharing.
