I am totally in love with this little sewn "mail center" and matching mail bag that Jamie C. from Nothing Fancy whipped up for her girls. The little embroidered letters and stamps are so beautiful. A lot of love was obviously put into this little gift. The mailbox was purchased from the craft store for $3. I have been wanting to get a little mailbox set for Jane and found this cute wooden mailbox from Melissa & Doug; but I am considering sewing a little homemade kit for her instead. Oh, do I have the time? The energy? But it is so sweet!
I also found this really fun sewn playhouse awhile ago from One Crafty Mumma which I also love! She made the playhouse to fit her dining room table, complete with a sheer window to peek through and felt birds and flowers to add some character. This is another project I am adding to my list of "someday I will make".

oh i saw that mail center too and thought it was adorable...we should make them together...i really want to do it!
I really like both ideas too, I like the playhouse especially because it will fold down and put away so easily.
Oh my goodness. How pleasantly suprised I was to find this here. I never even saw your comment. Thanks so much for the acknowledgement. I love, love, love that playhouse. I am so going to make up one of those once the Easter crafts are over. Thanks for all your brilliant ideas. Your site is truely one of my new favorites. I really hope one day we'll cross paths, I think we seriously live like 10 minutes from eachother. Anyway, love the site again, is it okay if I direct people here from my blog?
I saw the mail stuff also a few weeks ago and emailed my sister in law, kindof as a hint hint please make them for us. She has one of those embordery sewing machines.
We have the Melissa and Dough mailbox you linked to and it _is_ cute, but not nearly as cute as the homemade one, which I love. I might just make some hand crafted letters to go in our Doug and Melissa mailbox, who knows?
