WOW! Great find. Those police envelopes would work good for a "Case file" journal or folio

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😁😘

[@yelsyels]

The subject of postcards! I have fallen in love with the good old fashioned postcard! I keep a journal and have started buying postcards! To represent places I have visited! I have also invested in an instant camera! I fill pockets with loveliness! Carparking tickets record the day ...No words needed!

Cooooollll!!!! The plastic cover with 'Postipankki' is from Finland

[@DeniseS-6867]

What beautiful lettering on them, enjoyed seeing your haul🩷

[@KateriBurnett]

Wow these are great. I’ve never thought about looking for envelopes online. Loving the big windows on some of them. I would take the stamps off just use the card as is and add to to or make a journaling card or tag. Grunge it up. As Luise would do haha🤣😆😄

[@keenDesign64]

Ahh..you find such amazing treasures ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

☺️😘

[@CherrySignature3]

Awesome

[@vivianbennett34]

Lovely finds. Can you do a tutorial on how you steam off the stamps? I would be scared I would destroy them.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

I soak them in warm water 😉

[@jeanburns4008]

If my memory is correct. Sandra Dee was married to Bobby Darin. Big stars in the 40-50’s. Teen idols.

[@Mysmichelle69]

🤣🤣that box!!! Hysterical!

[@terricorbett468]

Love love love!! I hope you’ll teach us how to make these interesting envelopes!! I know it doesn’t look hard, but I don’t know how! That little guy, then the first one that folded out (I think Tel Aviv) into a whole page, the condolence letter had an interesting fold then a flip and flap! Just loved it! If you were ever willing to, I would love to see that in a tutorial!! so much fun, hearing how excited you are! I am too! ❤❤❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@Trinka-n4v]

Hi my name is Trinka I discovered junk journaling. I have always loved crafting and I have found it has given me something to feel good about myself again. It is quite expensive but I have found a lot of my own Grandparents postcards,letters, old birthday cards Mother’s Day I am having trouble getting ink, different papers and all the other cool stuff. You were one of the first people I started watching. You have inspired my crafting I me again I want to thank you it really came at a time I needed something. I want some Tim Holtz things I know I will get there I am impatient with certain things I enjoy watching you and everybody on you tube. I am trying to learn how to use my printer my son is going to try to figure it out for me. I just learned how to message you LOL 😀

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻😘

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

Love seeing your hauls, Margreth. I love junk journal making and I'm also a writer, so things like your envelopes for me, work like writing prompts too. Just to look at some of these envelopes and imagine the stories behind them - such fun!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻😁

[@lucy7b]

Great box. Great value.

[@debbivaughn1313]

That's an amazing score and you are a delightful treasure. Thanks for sharing.🥰

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁😘👍🏻

[@shirleylaboy603]

I was excited for your treasures. The old letters are a treasure for sure. You can use the postcards for tags and journal cards, just cover them with papers or collage over them. Thank you so much for sharing your treasures Margreth. 🙂❤️

[@cynthiayork5868]

so many cool things,

[@lauradellepoirier8559]

Fantastic. Looking forward to seeing new projects.

I’m so excited for you. The letters are so special. Love love love. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks sweetheart 😘

[@pennykafai4645]

What a box of surprises. Well worth what you paid if not more. You are always lucky with your purchases. What I need to say you are very brave to lock your fingers to open an envelope, you just no idea what’s on them. Maybe I am a of a germaphobe .

[@alli_went_bonkers]

Enjoy your treasure! Can't wait to see what you make!💜

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@suzyallen1726]

[@anitadebree6829]

Lieve Margreth, ik geniet altijd van je creatieve filmpjes maar wat word ik blij van als je weer eens iets ouds vind. Hier word ik ook blij van en kan ik de dag weer aan. Ik kan niet wachten tot je er wat van gaat maken. ❤😘❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@TheBichonBabe]

Wonderful video. Such treasures and such a bargain. In Canada 25 envelopes is $25 Canadian - 17.5 EUR (Not a bargain). Lovely to hear such joy in your voice.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻😘

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

I can't believe all the things that you find, I don't find anything. I have to come to the netherlands and shop with you. Always love when you do this. :) Big hugs and kisses to the cats. :)

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😽

[@catarinaalveus2821]

Just Wow :)

[@StampforLes]

Your excitement is contagious 😊 So many delicious envelopes 😅

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻

[@dh7217]

I LOVE the cards and the self contained mailing letter envelope thingies..😊 I want to know how to make them. Any simple idea? It's great fun to hear your excitement❤❤❤ You should bundle up all the items you don't want and resell. Someone out there may want them.😊

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Im not selling at the moment, but who knows in the future 🧐

[@dh7217]

I meant local to you just as you found these in your area. 😁 Some days, my thoughts zip across the brain and never fully get written down. I apologize for that. 🫣

[@michelles9117]

Can we start with the box😂 I get so excited by your excitement. I love seeing these old interesting bits of history. Fan mail to Hollywood stars, Rock Hudson and Doris Day. An old envelope from a stamp collectors shop in Wandsworth, England...where I lived for 8 years in the 80s. The laugh I had when you tossed the postcard with the dolls aside saying "....not creepy at all!"😂😂 I found myself grinning with joy watching you unbox a box of old envelopes 😮 TFS❤❤❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😂😂👍🏻😘

[@margaretculshaw9040]

I love the vintage envelopes. I spotted a couple with New Zealand stamps where i am from. Lovely

[@pamelapullar8570]

Yes I spotted our NZ stamps too 😀

[@michellechrisman9084]

You should make a collage with just the inside of the envelopes.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Great idea 👍🏻😁

[@LisasPapers]

What a wonderful haul! There are so many beautiful pieces there ❤

[@suegillettful]

Oh Margreth you are so very lucky. I've never seen anything like this box of treasures and such anywhere available around here in Sherwood Park, Alberta Canada. Finding some as simple as a stamp and envelope collector that would collect such things as envelopes or letters, i think should be very rare in at least this part of Canada. Do you think you can scan anything and put it on your Ko-fi site? My sister and her husband drove down from northern Ontario Canada came down for a visit in their motorhome and parked at my mom's house. I believe that she slept in the house while her husband just stayed in the Motorhome. My almost 91 year old mom is in an extended care home but with my sister there, she arranged for her to come home for a few hours quite a few times. While she was home, i came to visit and during that time my sister spent quite a bit of time going thru the buildup of stuff my mom and stepfather accumulated. She did come across quite an assortment of old pictures but my sister and she came across so old pictures from when we were young back in the 1960's 1970's 1980's back when we had to take our pictures in to be developed. Once the 2000's hit i think most of the pictures ended up on old broken computers and laptops. My sister went thru a lot of stuff. Shes's the type to never sit down and organize, organize, organise. I think that gene must have passed me by. I like to collect like my mom, but I find it extremely difficult to organise. My sister spent a lot of time going thru things and when I asked if she came across any pictures of my dad who died when we were young, or my grandparent, because I have nothing she got disgusted and told me that if I wanted any of that stuff, i should come spend time there, helping my stepfather and going through stuff myself. Both my mom and I are going to miss her a lot. They left yesterday and we missed saying good-bye, because I didn't really think they'd go yet. They initially drove down intending to stay until the end of September, but with the smoke from the BC forest fires drifting in the wind for almost 1000 km was drifting in almost everyday and my sister's husband has been complaining that it hurt his breathing for almost the entire time they were visiting. He wanted to go to BC and visit some of his friends and made plans but we told him that if he found it smoky here almost 1000kms away, he wouldn't be able to stand the air quality there. Boy I got off track. Maybe I should delete most of my comment. Have a good weekend coming up soon.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

No worries lovey, I adore your long comments 😁😘

[@juliebycousucousin1421]

Oh it's christmas for Margreth today 😊 ! Really cute to hear your voice really exciting 😊 I'm happy with you ❤ have a Nice day Margreth

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻😘

[@thejunkjournalstudio]

Wow! Awesome Margreth…. Drooling over here lol

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😘🥰

[@cynthiayork5868]

I have lots of vintage postcards from1910-to the 1960

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😘

[@Shannon848]

Oh WOW!! What do you search for on FB market place?? Estate Sales??

[@SevenplazaCreative]

I search for “ documents” or “envelopes “ 😁

[@liekmacgillavry277]

😲😲😲😲 lucky you again and so much😂 🥳🥳🥳

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻

[@Shannon848]

Thank you for always taking the time to answer my questions. I get so excited going through boxes like these. I treat myself every once in a while with an estate sale box from EBay. The last one was 10lbs. Not disappointed. I was like a little girl in a candy store. The little treasures you find. Even buying books at Goodwill. I always flip through the pages for treasures that the owners have placed inside. I didn’t know you could buy and have them shipped from FB Marketplace. Thank you for the new idea.☺️

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😁😘

[@rmm3150]

You got a fantastic deal. I would have paid alot more. Wow.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Me too 🤫

[@barbaragrace1992]

Hi, you need to check all those stamps from the early 1900's as some of them are worth a lot of money. Richard Chamberlain is/was an actor so could also have some value.

[@lindaknol1647]

ik had eerst helemaal niet door dat je een extra video had gemaakt...WAUW wat weer een geweldige unboxing met enveloppen! jij hebt er een neus voor om zo iets te vinden...echt geweldig weer om mee te mogen kijken! nou nu moet je haast wel iets maken met enveloppen...🤗😘😊

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁😁😘

[@lisagreenough4385]

Margreth! TREASURE!!Will you please share with us in another video what the letters say after you have a chance to read them? I just finished watching The Small Light series (so good!) and the history is so fascinating (but tragic) during that time❤️🌹

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻

[@sonjavanleeuwen1623]

Wat een treasure❤

[@patricialissenberg9644]

Nou ja wat een verrassing zomaar op donderdag!!! Leuk om jouw enthousiasme te horen !! Geniet er maar van!❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😘

[@janetstubbington583]

Wow. Wow! What a haul. A point of interest - there was an American actor from the sixties onward named Richard Chamberlain. Wouldn't it be fun if those two envelopes you found were to that actor?

[@SevenplazaCreative]

It actually was that Richard chamberlain lovey 🥰

[@retadaoud1675]

Wow!!!! You encouraged me to buy same box as yours. Please if you can send me the link for seller, I will appreciate it.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

The seller doesn’t ship international sorry 😞

[@robynsmith2315]

The stamps with roses and the pink surround are from New Zealand in the 1970's

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻

[@francesferguson5398]

I absolutely love you

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@daisylovespooh]

Ik vind het ook heerlijk om door die dozen heen te gaan, ik heb alleen niet echt het geluk gehad op brieven 😅maar wel veel leuke dingen gevonden

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@sandypeppers6861]

Sorry for the question. You answered it later.😁

[@SevenplazaCreative]

No problem 😉 😘

[@josefadasneves4825]

Dear Margreth, wow 🤩 luv ❤would you sell some stamps? Bless 🌸

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Maybe in the future lovey 😊😁

[@sandypeppers6861]

Do you cut out the postage stamps from the envelopes,or do you purchase them separately?

[@teresabenefield731]

❤❤❤

[@loribaca9065]

Oooooo!!! Aaahhh!!!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😜👍🏻😁

[@lasmith1875]

[@famprima]

where do you buy these boxes?

[@SevenplazaCreative]

On the Dutch Marktplaats

[@wendyschmidt4339]

💕🙏🏼🌷

[@margogoodman6297]

Are these envelopes from people who send cancelled stamps to other collectors? I have an acquaintance who sends 10 postcards around the world to other people who collect postcards. No writing on them just stamp and address from sender.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

I have no idea lovey 🧐

[@yolandakouwenberg-meijer344]

Ik vind het zo leuk die oude enveloppen...helemaal geweldig!....inderdaad die baart staat echt niet profesioneel bij Willem Alexander..,,ik ben geen fan van hem/hun..van die lange enveloppen kan je ook lange journals van maken...
