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.

Oh how fun....
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWow--I've never seen one of those before--what a wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteHappy PFF!
You have some wonderful friends and family! I do too. We are both very lucky!!!
ReplyDeleteThey 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!
ReplyDeleteI love the wall pocket! That is so pretty! What a sweet friend to buy it for you.

Oh! It is Mailbox's birthday today (again again again)!
ReplyDeleteThese are very cute! I like that you collect something original :)
ReplyDeletewhat precious finds!
ReplyDeleteoh, 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.
