This old mailbox, located off of Highway 220 north of Greensboro, on a rural country road, depicts an old mailbox that her about used its useful life. As a matter of fact, with the internet, we are receiving fewer pieces of surface mail. The mail we do receive is often in the form of giant packages which don't fit in a mailbox this size. The homemade stand and the shaped metal letters reflect the fact that the Caytons put a great deal of time and energy in this mailbox. We bet they knew their rural carrier by name and often waited when they saw him driving down their road.
Mailboxes really are a personalized touch of nostalgia-- unless of course you life in an apartment complex and are required to take you mail in the generic boxes of your building. What does your mailbox say about you? When is the last time you received a letter? Better yet, when is the last time you sent a letter? In the spring, the post office has some beautiful. You might just want to stock up and send a customized letter with a favorite stamp. In the meantime, enjoy the beauty of this one and, Happy Saturday!
We see these ones in the countryside here.
I get a couple of pieces of mail a month. Everything else consists of flyers.
