I keep addresses.
I make each address label by hand, with antique letters.
The letters are not a font, so cannot be typed. Each letter is placed and spaced individually on the computer, which takes some time.
So I keep them.
I am fortunate to have many many repeat customers, whose second, third, and fourth parcels are easy to address. I open their file, reprint their address label, and collage it onto their parcel.
If you've received something from the Brocante in the post before, you're in luck with this one. I've made a pair of earrings with sterling, vintage French médailles religieuses, vintage paste, and faceted opals of the palest blue.
I will be mailing them out to a sweet friend of the Brocante whose address label is already crafted. This is a random mailing so it might be you.
I hope it's you.
xoxo
You are the most generous of girls!

Your hard work is much appreciated. I think many of us keep your envelopes and display them. Mine is propped up on the mantel in my craft room!
