A French twist...

Well I'm back at it again, leaving my wee envelopes in small businesses. I like to support small businesses and in a way this is free advertising for them. Buuuut in all honesty it's more interesting leaving my wee envelopes in small business because they have a lot more character and attract and a rather more varied bunch of people. This then leads me onto where I left my last envelope...quite literally hanging around...

Location: The Kilted Frog

More commonly known as: 'the french man place'

Despite opening around four years ago most people I know still call The Kilted Frog, the french mans place or shop, this is of course because it is run by a lovely french man named: Patrick. It's a great wee place with a lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff :) In other words, the perfect place to leave one of my wee envelopes! As it's pretty much always jam packed in there (no surprise considering the great service and produce) I didn't have to be super sly with this one...henceforth after a good coffee and a chat with my mum and one of her friends I left one of my envelopes behind...here is is:

I have to admit: it's not one of my best envelopes in terms of design..I have done a lot better one's for sure. Hooowever, it has a pretty darn good location (and I don't just mean The Kilted Frog, check it out:

It's not just in a fantastic wee place..it's in the window!! Can you spot it?! 

I wonder how long it will take before someone realises it's not decoration and carries it off..?

All in all rather pleased with todays envelope. :) If you found this one or one of my other ones then let me know, even better if you have sent it on, tell me all about it. Who was it to, why and did you put anything inside?!

One more BIG UP for The Kilted Frog. One of my favourite places.

UPDATE on sharing the love..

Make My Neighbour Smile has made it out into the world...I've been hard at work (well sort of) preparing my tiny envelopes for the world beyond the postal service...these are the first three to adventure out on their own. I have left them all in public places for people to find. I probably said in the previous post but I will reiterate anyway, this is what their tags say:

"Neighbours are important people...they shouldn't be stranger...

If you've found me then please send me to a neighbour you don't know...

Please don't waste my stamp."

The back says:

"...get involved..." and has this web address on it.

As you can see they are all stamped and ready to go, I'm hoping that by leaving them with stamps on it will further encourage people to send them away.

I had to enlist the help of a friend as it would have looked more conspicuous if I had been seen leaving them and photographing them on my own.

 This one was left in the entry way of a late night coffee shop.

 This one was left in a Starbucks. I've included two photo's of this one so you can see clearly what it says on the front.

And this one was left on one of the benches in the train station. A gentleman nearby watched as i left it and photographed it so I have a feeling that this will be one of the first to be picked up.

What do you think? Let me know if you've seen any, or even better if you were the person to pick one of them up! :)
