The first thing I notice is the crinkle, then a translucency. It says 'I come from another era where lady botanists wore bustles and had well appointed writing desks.' It says 'get out your envelope opener if you dare.' I notice how perfectly Claire does taupe, beige, light brown and accents of nature. Even the stamps are exactly right.
Inside more evocations of a bygone era. When exactly is it? I'm sure Claire knows. She conjures with such precision. Claire doesn't know what I am reading but it is set in Egypt, in the past. Perhaps it's her.
Thank you Claire! You've spurred me on to tidy my disgusting studio so I can place your haptic, beautiful envelope and its contents somewhere special.

Ah, my dear Rebecca - 0 how deliciously articulate you are mon amie, and perceptive regarding details/meanings! (Mmm, I believe "perspicacious" would be an apt word here...) You make one feel so very well appreciated...^_^ So glad you liked it! Nonetheless, I am sad to see that one of the stickers that decorated the front of the envelope, was somehow detached in the post. I guess I'll have to send you another one and let you glue it on - it is a matter of particular Balance in the design, for me anyway - details are infinitely important imnsho! Thanks again for the great blog! xxoo, Cleo
