It's TeaPot Tuesday, and this week our cards are going to Brampton, Ontario, hopefully to fill the mailbox of Kim, the cousin of SCSer/Teapotter Virgo05.
You might wonder why there is a Ford logo on Kim's mailbox. Actually, there are two reasons: Kim is the Chairman of Local 584 at the Ford Motor Company AND I hope Kim's mailbox is

I drew a mailbox on some silver cardstock, and cut some Ford logos out of the newspaper. Cut the posts from a piece of embossed cardstock. Rolled a section of newsprint for the Realty paper, and folded some envelopes to stuff the mailbox. Attached the flag with a brad. My background paper, which was crumpled and sponged with Vintage Photo ink, is from our local newspaper's "Looking Back" column from February 14, 1891. Not sure if you can read the paragraph in the lower left corner, but it reads: "Two girls made a public exhibition of themselves by furious driving on State Street Thursday." They weren't driving a Ford, since Henry didn't make his first car until 1896, but do you suppose it was ancestors of a couple of local teapotters? Not that I'm going to mention any names....

This mailbox is great!! Even better is your description of the anagram and it's better than the one that usually goes with Ford! I like the old fashioned print and how you have the small article about the girls' "furious driving" on State St. showing!!
