Dungeons and Mailboxes?

2011-10-02T16:39:00.000-07:00

Our friend, Carrie Clickard, was seen 'dragon' this Happy Mailbox all the way from Tellico Plains, TN. Be careful of delivering bills to this address!

Fall is for Football!!

2011-09-18T12:34:00.000-07:00

This Sporty...er...Sparty Mailbox was spotted by our friend Kelly DiPucchio who just happens to be a Michigan State Alumni and parent. Any Wolverine fans want to send me a picture of their Happy Mailbox? We at H. M. are equal opportunity mailbox enthusiasts.

Jugs Down Under

2011-09-09T07:54:00.000-07:00

Mailbox spotter, Rachel McInnes, found these happy fellas on her trip to Australia and was kind enough to share with us. Apparently, milk jugs are popular postal accessories in the Land Down Under.

I'll Take Your Cock-a-doodie Junk Mail!

2011-06-09T17:46:00.000-07:00

This cockey guy strutted into Happy Mailboxes with a little help from one of my favorite chicks, Kelly DiPucchio. In an interview, he commented, "Even roosters don't crow about el-egg-tric bills." When he is not making bad puns, he makes his nest in Macomb Township, MI.

Green Acres is the Place to Be!

2011-03-14T13:20:00.000-07:00

This happy guy was sent in by my very alert sister, Mary. She found this Happy Mailbox near our brother's house in central Florida. I am not sure if it is a green tractor, a green pick up, or a green grocery truck. (It's not easy being green.) No matter, the driver is thrilled to be behind the wheel. Thanks, Mary!

Anchors Away!

2011-03-02T08:54:00.000-08:00

Or that it would be swept off the face of the Earth by a gigantic wave?

CATastrophe!

2011-02-18T07:39:00.000-08:00

This abandoned kitty was spotted at the local resell shop by animal-lover (and mailbox enthusiast), Hope Vestergaard. Although he was left behind when his family moved, he is ever optimistic and happy, red flag raised in anticipation for the day when he finds a new home. Even though his previous owner didn't have enough love for his sweet little face, he is now up for adoption to the right family. Only you can help prevent cruelty to mailboxes. There are no bad boxes, only bad owners.

Unhappy Mailbox

2011-01-27T14:19:00.000-08:00

News Alert! East Coast mailboxes are not happy. I repeat--NOT HAPPY! This poor little guy can only peek out his head at the world and wonder if Spring (or the letter carrier) will ever find him. He was spotted by our chilly friend, Stacy DeKeyser in Simsbury, CT where the snow continues to fall...and fall...and fall.

A Welcoming Beacon?

2011-01-16T12:25:00.000-08:00

This inspiring mailbox was spotted in Maryland, home of the crabs! It was sent in by our diligent ace photographer Jessica Swaim. Don't even THINK of taking a picture of this mailbox!

Happiest Mailbox in the Alley

2011-01-10T13:57:00.000-08:00

Have a ball! This striking mailbox was sent by my alert friend, Kelly DiPucchio , who found it in Sterling Heights, MI. (No it wasn't in the gutter.) No puns were spared or split in this post.

The Happy Year In Review--2010

2010-12-31T15:02:00.000-08:00

Here's to more Happy Mailboxes in 2011!

The Post of Christmas Past

2010-12-27T14:17:00.000-08:00

Just because December 25th has come and gone, doesn't mean the Happy Mailbox staff isn't chock-full of the Holiday spirit. (At least until the credit card bills arrive!)

This mailbox is fa-la-la-la-full, too, and it's just "pining" for some attention.

Sent by our loyal friend in Colorado, Jessica Swaim, it will be the last mailbox of 2010. I ask all of you cheerful folks to please send us your photos so we can continue spreading the joy in 2011.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

The Ghost of Christmas Present?

2010-12-20T15:22:00.000-08:00

In the Christmas spirit, here's another festive package delivered. I wonder if this confuses postal carriers. Like, Do I take it with me? or Where do I put the packages?
Thanks again to Jessica Swaim, alert mailbox photographer!

Fa La La La La!

2010-12-17T05:47:00.000-08:00

We here at Happy Mailboxes have been jonesing for something new. Just in time for the Holidays, our good friend Jessica Swaim flew in on her sleigh and presented us with this lovely sign of the season from Colorado. And not just one, but three new Merry Mailboxes will be making their way to you before Santa's big night.
We ar so ho-ho-happy!

Those Bills Are Something To Crow About!

2010-10-07T16:44:00.000-07:00

We caw-t him in the act! He got so excited to be on our blog, he dropped his happy all over the box! This one was sent to us from Parker, Colorado by Happy Mailbox's good friend, Jessica Swaim whose newest book, Scarum Fair, has some scary birds of its own.

But Will It Accept Tweets?

2010-09-16T11:23:00.000-07:00

A little bird told me where to find this Happy Mailbox. It was just North of my house, as the crow flies. Wonder if the guy who lives there is named Bob White? I'll stop robin you of your email time and let you get back to surfing the internest. Ouch! Even I know when to quit.

Little Horse on the Prairie

2010-09-08T14:54:00.000-07:00

Are bills becoming a nightmare? Neigh! You have a happy mailbox. This fiesty foal was found in Franktown, Colorado. Alert mailbox spotter, Jessica Swaim, trotted over and snapped a pic. (I wonder if they still get mail by pony express in Franklin?)

I really "dig" this mailbox! My friend, Hope Vestergaard, found it up near Au Gres, Michigan. Seems like we got a whole lotta trucks happening at Happy Mailboxes lately.

The Main A-Trucktion!

2010-07-21T17:35:00.000-07:00

We found this adorable little guy chugging along in Woodstock Twp., MI. Do ya think he might be a distant relative of 'Mater from Cars?

Hot! Hot! Hot! and Happy

2010-07-14T16:47:00.000-07:00

This smokin' example of Happy was sent in my alert Mailbox hunter, Kelly DiPucchio in Macomb Twp. Michigan. I really want to put a smiley face on this guy...er...truck.

Much better!

Jawa in Disguise?

2010-06-29T04:45:00.000-07:00

This mailbox is from Sierra in Marquette. It's so interesting! It looks like a Jawa peeking through some boulders. Makes me happy!

Here is the Church. Here is the Steeple. Open the door and see all the...

2010-06-09T17:16:00.000-07:00

...bills! This happy mailbox was seen by Kelly DiPucchio in Macomb Twp., MI. I wanted to post this on Easter, but the last few months were quite hectic and we didn't even have our OWN mailbox for awhile. (Happy or other wise.) The good news is, I have a new mailboxes to post over the next few weeks and have spotted more in my neighborhood of Addison, MI. I am looking forward to re-visiting my Blog now that we are settled.

Udderly Adorable!

2010-02-15T12:40:00.000-08:00

Hank Hill has nothing on these folks. This Happy Mailbox was found in a Macomb Twp. MI by a gassy gal with an eye for Happy!

In a Cottage in the Woods...

2010-01-11T06:06:00.000-08:00

So we're up in Michigan looking at houses when we get lost. The real estate agent is driving in front of us and comes to a stop, gets out of the car, and walks back to tell us he has to double check his GPS. As we sit waiting, I turned my head to the right and TA-DA! Like a Divine Gift, this Happy Mailbox was waiting right outside the car window. Luckily, my camera was with me. I love Happy coincidences. This one makes me feel warm and toasty.

All registered mail gets a cygnet-ure. Nyuk-nyuk!

This Guy Needs A Name

2009-12-01T13:00:00.000-08:00

Woody? Splinter? Gill? Maybe Pinocchio, cause he is a wooden fish masquerading as a real mailbox. Or maybe a real mailbox masquerading as a fish. I've even confused myself.

So Flippin' Cute!

2009-11-03T11:58:00.000-08:00

Saw this little guy standing outside a storage facility. He's an old buddy of Blue's.
