Decorative Mailboxes - The Story Of The Kansas City Grannies

You have got to read this article if you love to embellish things

. So many techniques of embellishment and decoration are well suited to enhancing your mailbox. Your good taste and decorating sense will be right out there in front of your house.

By embellishing your mail receptacle, you are giving a visual representation of your inner personality and your emotions in a very unique and very visible way.

You can so what some people do, and decorate your mailbox every season, but that's not all. A smiley face on your mailbox can really show your wacky side. You can even honor your unique heritage through mailbox decorations.

Most people take the boring route and just put their last name on the mailbox in plain black lettering; their only purpose is to make sure that your mailman doesn't give the neighbors your stuff. However, you can make your mailbox stand out by putting your surname on the mailbox in wacky lettering and bright colors, so that everyone knows who you are! You might think that your mailbox will look garish by comparison, but it'll definitely be a conversation piece for anyone who drives past it and sees it!

Some extreme aficionados of mailbox embellishments have even formed social groups that focus entirely on making embellished mail receptacles. Kansas City's "Decorating Grannies" is one such well publicized mailbox loving groups.

Basically, some of the old women in a retirement home chose to start a business where they could get paid to decorate people's mailboxes in a unique and startling way, putting out ads in newspapers and putting flyers up in the street to advertise their new and lucrative business. The retirement home received all the profits from the business, so that they could have better activities to participate in.

You might take this story of enterprising old ladies and apply it to you and your group of friends. You might start your own decorative mailbox business and donate the profits to a charity or project you're passionate about, to make the community as a whole better with the money that you give it. You can better the community around you, and you'll have a great sense of accomplishment, as well as adoration from your friends!
