Belgian chocolate and organizing paper

I got letters from two new countries!
A postcard from Caddi while skiing in France. I've never been skiing, but it looks like fun! The second is a letter from Elodie in Ghent, Belgium. Sadly, the envelope was ripped along the bottom (it wasn't quite as bad a this, this was after I opened it!), but nothing fell out! I love her stamps on the front! She has a blog here, however it is all in Dutch.
She sent me some delicious Belgian dark chocolate! I love chocolate, especially dark <3 I really like the tape she sealed the envelope with, and the little flag bunting.

Do you know what this is? A friend has been collecting stuff for a big yard sale (or garage sale, tag sale, or whatever you want to call it!) from family and friends, and was given this metal box used to keep photography paper. She thought I might like it for stationary, letters, paper, etc! How do you keep your letters and writing supplies organized?

p.s. I just found this website for photo editing, PicMonkey, and am trying it out. I didn't have any type of editing software, or even a website to use before. They have a lot of different options and effects, it's hard not to get too caught up playing with it! Do you have a favorite photo editing program?

  1. That's a nice box for stationery! All my stationery/letter stuff is in a pile in my desk drawers. My postcards are a bit better organized in a repurposed USPS flat rate priority box that sits on my desk. I hope someday I can have a bit nicer organization system!

    1. I know, I love it! I have more in my desk drawer, and before that it was piled on my floor, because my desk ran out of room XD

  2. What a cool container to keep all your letter supplies. It looks very organized. :-) I have a wooden box that I keep the letters I got that month and then on the last day of each month I put the letters in a box in my closet. Maybe I'll write a post about it. :-) thanks for the letter by the way. I have one ready to mail to you tomorrow. :-)

    1. Thanks! Ironically, the box itself may be organized, but it's just sitting on my floor, among other miscellanea!

    1. Isn't it so cool?!? The only problem, is right now I don't have room on my desk for it, so it's on my floor, and let me tel you, it has SHARP corners! How do I know this? From experience!
