I bracketed a regular old aluminum mailbox onto my dome, last year. This time around I think I'd decorate it more exuberently, and add a pencil and paper (bound or clipped to avoid MOOPage) and a tray for treats, for those who brighten my day by mailing me things. Maybe even some EL wire, or a solar pathway light on top....Another navigational aid for myself and my neighbors!

yea! - i have found an old school (double nickel) style wooden animal capture cage - that i have painted glo-green and will be decorating it with "found" silver metal object (shiney!) --- i gifted kickass kool postcards last year- not once realizing there WERE mailboxes- the shame! -so this year my art is my mailbox- tee-hee-hee - thanks for the response-BTW- last week i found a red "mails here" flag in some random bushes- apparently from an off playa pixie, that was soothing to my crazee brain!!! -- BRC postman/woman will ring more than once now - HOWDY FROM AUSTIN,TEXAS!
