Description:

Take a 5x7 or near (if its a tiny bit smaller that's ok) envie and create a scene from the 1950s. If you want to go bigger, no larger than a 6x9 size envie.

You could for example, do images of traveling in the 1950s on trains, yachts, or going to the beach in the 1950s with images of bathing beauties and surfboards,or maybe 1950s fashion, or a 1950s housewife. You can use vintage or reproduced ephemera, magazine cut-outs, old advertisements, rubber stamp images, paper stock, diecuts, anything that inspires you, those are all just ideas to get you started. However you want to design and put together your mail art envie is up to you!

Inside put a flat profile surprise.1950s inspired ? Even better. Value your surprise around $2-3. Sticker sheets, flat rubber stamps, lil notebooks those might be things you could find with a 1950s theme; if the 1950s theme is to difficult to find then just pick something you think your partner will enjoy receiving as some happy mail!

4.98 to join and 5 type 3 swaps completed; no unreasonable or unresolved bad ratings; no ones.

Any chance of hosting an international version as well?

Miss Whimsy, sadly i won't make it in august, but thanks for considering hosting an international version. I'll keep an eye out for it on future AMA swaps :)

I saw that a lot of people would prefer after August so I am going to post an International Life in the 1950s Mail Art Envie swap after August. :)
