Jane packed her best summer frocks and some favourite friends into a van this month and road-tripped from Melbourne to Broome. She saw crocodiles, swam in hot mineral springs and discovered that kids in the Kimberley learn at a very young age how to shake their booty.

With Penny holding the CFC reigns back in Melbourne, Jane had plenty of spare time to shoot off some much needed correspondence, like the following letter:

Dear Royal Automotive Association of South Australia,
The tracheotomy is an amazing thing. Overriding the mouth and nose and allowing someone to breathe via incision in the throat is a wonderful medical procedure. The dysphonia resulting from the damage to vocal cords is a small price to pay for being alive. This all taken into consideration, the tow-truck driver you sent out to rescue us as we huddled roadside for many hours in the pitch black darkness of the Australian desert was still kind of scary.
I know his voice is simply evidence of a life-giving medical miracle but have you not seen Wolf Creek?
Kind regards,
Jane

Speaking of scary, when an uber cool pair from Canberra called Lara and Chris saw an article about us in Peppermint Mag they wrote saying:

"We want a letter! Problem is, we have no real need for a letter. So, can you write us a list? Perhaps this list could be titled - 'Letters That Lara and Chris Could Write" or "Things to do in Winter' or "101 Uses for Astroturf". We don't really mind. Chris works at the National Gallery and is fabulously tall. Lara is an english teacher and is about to move to Braidwood (little artsy country town with old houses). We both love coffee and clothes and boys."

We decided to respond with a list of reasons why we would make great best friends. We're yet to receive our invite up to Canberra so we’re wondering if maybe we scared them away. Stalkers much?

His and Hers

As you well know, we love to help people securely fix their heart to their sleeve but we felt conflicted when an awesome-sounding chick emailed us recently to request we ghost-write a love letter. She confessed she was hoping to reignite a fling that she’d hastily ended with a boy who had feelings for both her and his ex. We wrote the requested letter but after much discussion over red wine we decided a ‘choose your own adventure’ scenario might be in order so we wrote an additional letter just for her.

Like Mel, you can choose to read what we wrote to him:

Dear Nate...

or what we wrote to her:

Dear Mel...

Or even better, read both.


Oh, lovers of the world. You’ll keep Clothing for Correspondence busy for an eternity.

As always, we scored some pretty cool clothes this month.  Some instructional words on 'how to have an eco wedding' earned us a bundle of awesome including some of these pieces below. A smokin' pair of green socks also came our way. Thanks guys!







Penny is off to Cambodia this week so expect some tales of excitement next month. In the meantime, bombard Jane with requests to test her solo-writing skills. Eeeekkk!!

Love

Penny and Jane
