Well, not today today, but a couple days ago.

I was going through the mail at work, as is my prerogative. Moments like this one make me relish that prerogative.

I came across an unusually pristine bubble mailer — we get tons (not literally, because they are quite lightweight, so perhaps I should say VOLUMES) of bubble mailers, and few are as clean and unrumpled as this one. Perhaps Beth at Indoor Recess has some special bubble mailer powers?

Anyway, then I noticed the stamps. They were unusually relevant to my interests:

Outer space AND and dragonflies. (Specifically, the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and Aeshna canadensis.)

So, was there any question that I’d find something unbearably wonderful inside the envelope?

Order of zines from Learning to Leave a Paper Trail Distro

I highly recommend Paper Trail Distro for your zine ordering needs. Ciara runs a super tight operation, and all of her stock is high quality — she’s really picky about the zines she distributes. She’s also an excellent writer, and you can either buy her own zines or check out her new blog, If You Don’t Have Anything Nice to Say, Come Sit Here by Me. She always amazes me with her wit and incisiveness.
