A few weeks back I sent out the bottle I had picked up on my trip to Colorado Springs. I sent it to Tara because I couldn't remember if I owed her a letter or not. I figured that mailing her a bottle would make up for any pen pal faux pas I had committed. She blogged about receiving it here.
I ended up decorating the back with a few random stickers.
These bottles are really cool, it's unfortunate that you can't just order them online.
As it turns out, I did owe Tara a letter, I just didn't know because I hadn't gotten to her letter in the "pile of mail to be replied to" yet.
She sent me this great transparent envelope and wrote to me using the stationery she made for the Letter Writing Social that she hosted.
So I wrote back to her, using the very same paper she had given me! That's Mr. Zip, aka Zippy, who was created to encourage people to put zip codes on their outgoing mail. Really interesting wiki on the origin of the zip code here. I had no idea that zip code didn't exist until the 60's!
