Hand-crafted postbox toppers seem to have become a bit of a ‘thing’ over the last couple of years and someone in our nearby town has taken to creating these crochet toppers.
They’ve done a selection so far this year and the latest one is an autumn version with pumpkins and scarecrows. Rather charming.
Is there anything like this where you live?

Not that I've seen but most people in my area either have flat mailboxes screwed to their house here or have a P.O. Box like I have. *shrug* No place to put something like that.

@Fleura Ohhh... I haven't been to those type of mail boxes, there is only one of those in my city, in several years.

We have the normal red boxes that one sees everywhere.

@allknowing Oh yes they are a lot like ours, or at least some of ours. I guess that is not a surprise! Many are free-standing round ones like in the picture you sent. Others are rectangular boxes fitted into the walls of buildings and such, or sometimes attached to a post. In the US and in many European countries the post boxes are quite different.

They are superb pieces of crafts-manship ! Here we see little of postbox now ,mainly because WeChat takes the place of posting letters

@Fleura I agree with you ! An e-card comes across as going through the motions.

@changjiangzhibin89 I do send and receive e-cards from friends who live very far away, but for those in the UK who can easily post one it is really nice to send or receive a real card that you can put on the windowsill or mantelpiece or wherever and see whenever you glance that way, even when the computer is turned off!
