I have written here before about my mail carrier Kathy. She has delivered your secrets to me with great care for over four years. Everyday the secrets she puts in my mailbox surprise me, but last week I got two additional surprises!
  Along with all your secrets Kathy put two PostSecret books in my mailbox. As you can see the covers are designed to resemble packages with my home address, stamps, cancellation marks and even artificial bar code stickers.
Apparently, these books ended up at the Post Office and were delivered to me as if they were parcels because of how the covers looked.
Inside one of the books was a Valentines Day card by a generous man who evidently left the book as a gift for a stranger. (The fact that I got two in one day seems to be a coincidence.)
This was the kind message written inside the card.
Congrats on your amazing discovery of this PostSecret book - it is yours to keep or pass on or leave for someone else to find. Enclosed (in this book) is one of my secrets and one postage paid blank postcard for your secret - I hope you will mail them both in and watch on the PostSecret website.
Every year I buy a book to support this amazing interactive art project and leave it for someone to enjoy and discover the story of PostSecret.
The generous donor included his email address on the card so I sent him an email explaining how her book found me and invited her to write back. (See below.)
I found both postcards he included in the book and moved them to the page that holds the one secret of mine in the book. (The one on the Catcher in the Rye book cover.)
I would like to give both special books away to lucky PostSecret Blog readers. The first book gets Federal Expressed to the person who writes the 200th comment below. The second book (in which I slipped an additional surprise) goes to the random person who writes the 400th comment below.
Good Luck!
Wow...our post office is really diligent. I dropped the white book off in the package deposit box at our post office with several eBay packages - I hadn't thought the cover would convince them to send the book back to you, Frank (I hoped an employee would keep it).
Here I was dreaming of all of my book's mysterious travels and interactions and if I would ever find out what became of it or see my secret on the site as proof that it had even been discovered by someone! Well, at least it reached good hands - secrets intact...I wonder who will get it now.
The Valentine was from a pack of them I had bought for my sister, nieces, and girlfriends on Valentine's Day years ago...it was the only card I had lying around with an envelope, so I used it to contain a note the finder of the book...guess I'll have to keep reading to see where it goes...thanks for taking the time to write and let me know you received it...my daily e-mail is orders@alteredattic.com if the
receiver or anyone wants to help me track its future progress, twists, and turns...September
