Writing Expo 2015 - Tampa's 1st Type-In













To celebrate National Poetry, Card & Letter Writing Month, we had a writing and typing open house. We held a creative writing class, screened The Making Mail documentary, made some fun mail art, and typed on machines from the 1920's - 1960's. A postal maven, a Letter Writing Alliance member, and a Postcrossing member came to the meet up. (I realize I am not alone in my mail geekness)...A typewriter aficionado and our new friend Jack brought a machine with a deco font, dreamy! We had several people send mail art and they got their free lettering writing kit. We are already dreaming up ideas for next year. Until then, snail mail forever.
