Puffin box

Originally uploaded by wiccked

Puffins! Puffins! And more puffins! These puffin postcards don the most adorable sea bird alive… the puffin! The first is a clipping from a box–a cereal box, I believe. It has some puffin trivia worth reading. And it was deemed shareworthy by the person who uploaded it to flickr, wiccked. We at Puffinpalooza.com agree.

Pete Puffin was happy to see us…

Pete had moved so far from Bangor that he never got many visitors. He was excited when we arrived and explained that the dry heat was helping his allergies, but the fish weren’t as tasty.

Created for the swapbot swap “When Mail and Art Collide” from a calendar page, a magazine cut-out, and a quote from a 1960′s crime novel. The whole thing is backed with a piece of recycled box from work.

The last is a postcard—I would love to receive one of these. I guess we will have to visit Bretagne. I’ll save my little fishy for a trip!  Of course, I could go see puffins on my own coast (the coast of Western Washington State) it might be a bit closer and cheaper.

How fun! =) I found some puffin postcards. I will check into how to make these available so we can have some on puffinpalooza.com. How fun would that be? Maybe some of you could send me your photographs and drawings and we can add those as puffin e-postcards. =)
