Plates: Outgoing

So you all know that I am a huge fan of the Plate Mail.  I had two plates left and I was saving them for special people, and until I could get my hands on a $2 Waves of Color stamp.  I got my hands on a Wave stamp, but I had to go to Boston to get it.  None of my local Post Offices were carrying it, and I was told flat out that they would not be getting it at all.

I learned this past weekend that unless I remember to go to the Post Office in Boston when I am there on Tuesdays, the North Kingstown Post Office on Post Road seems to have a variety.  I was able to score two $5 stamps {that they were holding for me because I called earlier in the week} on Saturday.  While they were hunting for my reserved two it was clear they had a few sheets of them.

I sent this plate to my friend Ryan.  Ryan is in basic training in North Carolina.  I met Ryan through my night job, where he and his family are some of my VIP's.  They all know that I am a snail mail fanatic, so when he left he made his parents promise that they would give me his address.  I regret that this is the only thing I found the time to send him, but at least it was interesting.  I am hoping that it both got delivered and that he was not humiliated for it.  The goal was fun and humor, not humiliation.

I sent this pink plate to my friend Kathy.  She has a few dogs who would probably enjoy this as a frisbee.  She got this the day after I sent it, which is one of the few awesome things about living in a tiny state.

Wave! Finally!

These things are really great in person.
