Okay. It's time for a bit of an interactive window project. Here is what we are going to do. You can join in too!
Send us : A decorated envelope (to the address above, just like Hello Sandwich did : but you don't have to write Lovely Pip) with a few cute little papery or crafty things inside it. The envelope can be a regular business sized one, or bigger if you like. The things inside should not be expensive. Recycled or handmade or just extra things you have, which you think someone else might like, would be good. Make sure you keep your postage cheap, so don't be all extravagant. Just be cute.
You might send : photos, pages from magazines, ribbon, swap cards, vintage patterns, notes, shopping lists, little (lightweight!) zines, sweet wrappers, stickers, really... anything small, light and interesting would be ace.
You can show us what you are sending on your own blog : or you can keep it a secret! It is up to you!
Important : put your return address on the back of the envelope
What we will do : we will display all the cute envelopes in our window. And we will take all the things out of them and take a photo of what we receive each day. We will upload that daily image to Flickr. (Details of exactly how to find that on Flickr next week.) We will keep the project going for six weeks. At the end of that period we will draw one random envelope : and send that person ALL THE THINGS we received in the mail! Every single thing. Sent to that person! Holy aceness! Hurrah! No matter where you are in the world! If you join in, you could win! This is open to kids and grown ups too. We like to be inclusive!
So. Do you think that is cool? I do! Why don't you be part of it?! The window will commence on June 14th. So start sending us your envelopes! There is a little button up there, if you would like to use it (link to this post so others can join in too!)
The address again ::
meet me at mike's
63 brunswick street
fitzroy 3065
victoria australia
If you send something : add your details below, or in the comments, so we can keep an eye out for your envelope, and also so that others know who joined in! It might make them contribute too, right?! We will show you images of the window as it grows, so you can see how great it looks, too.
Thanks for playing! Thanks for reading! Hurrah!
xx Pip
