i'm starting to think that i shop more when i feel uncertain. i had a burst of lockdown shopping in the spring of 2020 (i think a lot of us did) and i realized that it has started again.

in the last week:

• new fitted sheets (needed them but did i really need to try out three kinds from two different vendors?)

• popsicle molds (these were unavailable during the last burst of shopping, probably due to shipping issues with China)

• a two-year subscription to Interweave Knits

• a POUND of a tea flavor i liked in a free sample

LOL coincidence. I write four or five cards a week, and I ran out of the free charity ones

Ahhhh.

Tiny printed address labels were a common lever to accompany fundraising mail back in the day, but I haven't seen any in a while. I also remember getting coinage as a fundraising tool, which always puzzled me.

(I just printed out my return address on some adhesive labels.)

I received at least three sheets of them in the past year or so. I think I liked the Arbor Day ones best, but the Sierra Club ones are also nice.
