Comment: Thank you for the poems. I really enjoyed ""Race My Melancholy Heart." I also miss the days when I used to write all the time. I have children now, so I don't write as often as I used to. And when I look back on my old poetry, I fuss with it as well. I think it's because I write differently now, plus as an editor I can see all the mistakes I made or cliches I used then.
Response: So glad you enjoyed it. Hoping the typo copy didn't distract you too badly. (Read comment below.) Augh. The dreaded "life gets in the way of art". I found I wrote about those struggles when the kids were little, I was inspired by Robyn Sarah and Margaret Atwood. Two great Canadian poets, Maternal Femenism at its best. Happy writing!

Comment: Oh unrequited love, how I know thee...! Lol! Thank you for the beautiful poetry and the lovely letter! I really enjoyed reading both :D The poems are so powerful and gorgeous, they took my breath away! I've reread them a few times now and I can only love them more <3.
Response: Thank you. One of you ended up with the typo copy, only realized well after it was sent! Glad you enjoyed it despite them, if it was you. Thank you for your enthusiasm and kind rating. 💛💛

Comment: Thanks for your lovely letter and kind words. Yeah, it is hard when we have lost our loved ones, over the years the pain is still there...but life has to go on right. Anyway, thanks for the awesome selection of stamps and also for pasting so many nice ones on the cover! Appreciate it. Take care and "see" you around!

Comment: Thank you for the lovely letter, you have beautiful handwriting! The whole thing is absolutely gorgeous!!! Blomidon sounded very familiar so I asked my friend if I had been there and he said we passed it on the way to Split Point. We took the trip East years ago (there's more details of that trip in the letter I sent you for this swap 😊) so the details are fuzzy but I do remember it was all gorgeous 😍. I hope you enjoy my letter as much as I enjoyed yours!
Response: Cape Split! Some of the best (smoothest) stones are found on a beach close by. I picked wild mushrooms on the way to Cape Split and then had to be careful not to crush them the entire way back. Sigh! Thank you for your rating! 🍄

Comment: Gabrielle sent a notecard & letter, plus some cat-themed goodies. It was lovely to read about Gabrielle's shared interests, and the postcards were especially cute.

Comment: Thank you so much for a wonderful envelope of happy mail. I adore the notecard - it's so pretty - I don't know if I can use it! The stamps are fantastic and the tea sounds delicious. Hope you have a wonderful day. Happy Swapping!
Response: Wow, when Canada Post wants to, things move fast! I love that notecard too, that's why I couldn't bring myself to write in it. So pleased you enjoyed it all. See you in the post!

Comment: Wow! I'm so very lucky you got my name to send to. I am in love with the envelope, the letter, and all the goodies. I feel spoiled, and I like it! :) You can count on hearing back from me but it might be a couple months...finishing up school and going to Europe in the next 8 weeks is going to eat up my time. I'll let you know when I mail though. Thanks so much for the most thoughtful package. ❤
Response: So glad you feel spoiled! I enjoyed putting it together, call it celebrating another "bit" collector. So jealous about Europe but looking forward to hearing about it and all the treasures you bring back!

The seeds and recipe are lovely, cannot wait to try it! Hopefully the snails don't get to it first -.- haha. Oh and thank you for the extra pack of seeds! I could defo use some flowers around the front of the house :)
Response: Augh! Slugs! I found an non toxic slug and snail bait and have used it despite my hippy karmic reservations. I am glad you enjoyed the post! I thought it was funny how I got to send to you twice! The trick with the dressing really is to fiddle with the taste until you get what you like! Thanks for the rating!

Comment: Thank you for your colour-coordinated and decorated package! This kind of thing is fun to receive. I especially appreciate the handmade gloves. Thanks so much!!!
Response: Most welcome. What did you think of the poem? Did you like the tea? I know it's loose but I hoped you felt you could trust David's sealed package..... I ran around at the last minute finding you some things from your wish list. After writing the letter I couldn't just send what I had, it would have been a let down to open.

Comment: Did you get your fountain pen? You are so lucky to have a shop that sells snail mail items....I love all the items you chose for me, especially the name badges because I am starting to make my own envelopes. I also really enjoyed your interesting letter and the paper it is written on. What is that type of paper called?
Response: So glad you liked everything. I thought you would be able to use the things I sent... I have just tracked down a source for gold edged labels (not sure if I sent those or the blue to you) and am thrilled about not having to be so selective. I sometimes have a hard time sourcing things I like, as you know. Just on a side note, I ingratiated myself to the local barista who is going to Korea for three months. I am hoping to get some interesting bits! The paper is Onionskin by Hilroy. Hardly exotic as you can buy it at Staples. I searched and searched for it only to find it there... funny. You can find the labels there as well.... I ordered from Monks as they are a local company but in a pinch Staples will do quite nicely. Do you have good templates for your envelopes? If you want a variety, let me know and I will send a few your way. OOOooH! Or I could set up another swap! Thanks for joining the swap and for your rating. G.

Response: I look forward to it! I am really curious how your wedding is shaping up. I realized that your "theme" was more "batman" then just yellow... I ended up running with it and enjoyed putting it together. After it was sent I found a yellow floppy disk label and was all, "AUUUUUUGHHH!!!" Next time. :) Thanks for joining us and for your rating.

Comment: Best. Swap partner. Ever. Holy cow, you totally spoiled me. I love how much care you took with your package, and how did you find so many orange items? I'm going to write back - I think we have lots in common!
Response: Ah, DITO! It's funny what I manage to gather up, orange is not my favourite colour.... instead I go for the red and teal. I have lots of orange to share! I really look forward to your letter and will be watching for it. I am heading up Island tomorrow and will be stopping in at a couple of my frequented thrift shops.... wish me luck! Thank you for participating and for the heart. (PS. Your letter had me laughing the entire way through it. I can SOOOOO relate.)

Comment: Hi Gabrielle! I was so pleased to find your happy mail in my mailbox today! You should be receiving something in the mail from me soon! I'll be replying to your letter when I have a free moment! And I loved the paper bits you sent, especially the library cards! They will be just perfect in my smashbook, I'm working on a book-themed page right now!
Response: Hello Kats! Got it, as you already know. It was so great to hear from you and I look forward to the "filling in the blanks". So glad you like your "bits". I do feel a little guilty for rubbing your nose in how gorgeous it's been here. The photos from the the East coast are UNBELIEVABLE. I hope you and your neighbours are taking good care of one another. Thanks for participating and the heart, see you in the post!

Comment: I loved your letter!!! THANK YOU so much for the extras, and for the breast envelope ever ;) I LOVED IT!!! I hope the flu has finally let go of its hold on you!!! Thank you for joining! :D
Response: I beat that ol stinking flu! When I went to post my letter I was a little shy about showing it off to the Canada Post ladies. I always ask for my mail to be "hand sorted" and it means that somewhere along the way real people touch my mail, not just machines. These ladies thought I was being silly, saying "We all have them!" One went so far as to say, "They just don't look like that anymore!" We all had a giggle. I LOVE small town post offices! Glad you liked what I sent and the breast envelope ever. The letter was an interesting exercise and I will definitely join in for another one. Thanks for hosting! And thank you for the review and the heart! See you in the post.....

I am headed to Ireland for St. Paddy's this year. Cannot wait! I am going to have to add that to my list so I can gather some exciting Ireland things for my book as well.

Response: Helloooo. I know you rated me in December for this swap but I was taking a little break. I often feel disappointed when people don't respond to my comments on a rating so just wanted to say "Thank you!" and for the heart. I had a fun time putting it all together and am glad you noticed!

Comment: I enjoyed looking through the papertrail of your week....so exotic compared to mine! As I am a Twilight fan I loved the Forks postcard and your envelope and stamps used and sent loose were fantastic.Will be using the bookmarks, lovely Vintage expo card and the bags soon, I appreciate the variety!
Response: Glad you enjoyed it! And just so you don't think I am totally strange for sending a sticker of a goat pooping, it's the logo of a well known tourist spot here on the Island. The Coombs Market has been there since I was a kid, first as a fruit stand and now as a huge tourist trap. I still love the soap and cheap journals from China. Check it out online. The hanging lanterns are cool too. Thank you for the rating!

Comment: Very classy stuff, thank you! Your feather stamp is nice. I read a lot, too. Calgary is talking about dropping the membership fee! I wasn't aware that we're just about the only ones who charge for membership. Yay - $12 more for me (and my husband will probably join). I've been reading Laura Lippman books lately - found a couple good ones that she's written. Thanks for the letter, too.
Response: A membership fee for a library? That's such a strange concept. I picked up a couple books last week in the hope to spend the weekend reading in the hammock (that I was going to hang) but we had much needed rain instead. Glad you liked what I sent!

Comment: Hi Gabrielle - A big thank you for your lovely letter and fun enclosures. The bookmark is timely, as I'm about 25 pages into Munro's My Best Stories! The only paper store I've visited in Victoria is The Papery, although I heard they've opened a Regional Assembly of Text there. And...where, oh where, did you find this old school airmail paper? Fab. (P.S. Monks - will definitely check it out the next time I'm over on the Island, thanks!)
Response: Oh my. I may burst! I can't wait to check out A Regional Assembly of Text. It's so my kind of shop. I can't tell if they have the Letter Writing Club in Victoria as well. Such fun! The paper is so basic, it's actually anticlimactic. Hilroy Onionskin. I can only find it at Monks Office Supply. Kind of pricey but it cuts down on the over all weight of the post. (I bought a scale. Yep. Got it bad.) Thanks for the tip and the heart! (P.S. There should be a Monks in Vancouver, they are like Staples!)

Response: So glad you liked them! I use onion paper and the only place I have been able to find it is at Monks Office. Good news is, they are in most large Canadian cities. Yay!

Comment: Hi Gabrielle! Thank you so much for your lovely envelopes. I enjoyed reading your letter! I have never been to Canada.....but I hope one day we will visit your lovely country! Today is a memorial Day in our town. 71 yrs ago more than 1000 children and mothers were transported to destruction camps to be executed when they arrived.....so bad, so sad! They found new photos this year so there's a small exhibition and they will let 71 white balloons up in the air, for every year one balloon..... What a great idea to look up the places you're sending to! I'm going to steal that idea! Happy swapping! Love Sacha
Response: What a tragic past. I love that it's not being forgotten. And I learn so much by doing a little research! Thanks for the rating and the heart. :)

Comment: Thanks for the great envelopes and thoughtful letter :) India is an amazing but do be careful. Never drink the water from the tap, only drink out of plastic bottles where the top is sealed (like a Pepsi bottle or something, they re-use glass bottles and don't sanitize them properly, even the natives won't put their lips on the bottles). Always travel with a man as to not offend their culture and it is MUCH MUCH safer for you. Be careful what you eat. Only eat fruit or vegetables that you can peel yourself. Make sure you get antibiotics to bring with you and get your Malaria meds and Hep A & B shots and typhoid shot. I can't think of anything else really lol It will be a shock but its amazing!
Response: Great advice. Especially the antibiotics! I hate the not being able to travel solo though. But my gut knows you are right. Can't wait for culture shock! Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Comment: Thanks for the poem. Very nice, and local interest, too. You managed the space constraint just fine, IMHO!
Response: It was hard sticking to such a small space. I researched your area and was inspired by the history. The landscape actually reminds me of where my mom's farm is in Ormond, Ontario.
