Happy PFF - Perfect Flapjacks Flipping!
I've seen these in real life - they are just as cute!!!!
Leah! You are such a lucky thing! I'm pea green with envy!
Official !!?
I would appreciate that our Post services have as much humour as in the U.S. People would write again instead of sending email and sms !
So funny.
Happy Frienship Friday.
That would be so much fun to own. Even though we live in the country, it would be a big hit I'm sure!
It was fun listening to your voice. Thanks for sending the Voicemail. Hope you got mine in return. It's short this time 'cause I didn't know what to say. :o) Next one will be longer. ♥ ∞
I LOVE this - I'm a big Star Wars fan. In fact I actually use the Star Wars movie in my classroom. It's one of the ways that I teach my students about good values such as heroism.
I'm going to show this to them!

c3po is the BOMB! Much less annoying than those eewoks.
Are any of these still around? I just tried looking them up, and it seems like some mailboxes were wrapped with R2D2 decals for a promotion in 2007.
Interesting. I have never seen any of those and I live in the US.
For real? How fun is that! We have boring plain ones.
Now that is FUN! I'm never disappointed in the new things you find. Happy Friday Marie!!
I just have the regular boring mail boxes in my town.

I'll be posting! I took that cute Postcard Friday picture to put in my margin. I hope that's ok with voux!
Ooops---I see my name is on your list twice... Anyway, come see ymy Serbian mailboxes today I LOVE THIS r2d2 one.
Happy PFF to one and all. Believe me, I think it's a miracle that this mailbox hasn't been sawed off at the feet by thugs in the middle of the night! It sure is cool.....and I hope it is safeguarded by midnight jedis!
I laughed so hard at your PFF meaning!
Wow, I have never seen a post box like that before! I guess it is a great way of attracting people to write mails the traditional way :) Does it light when you shove the envelope in its slot? I hope it doesn't bite though *lol*

In my small hamlet the mailbox looks like the one posted by Catherine.
Hi Marie, this blog carnival is really interesting. Thank you for your kind words on my blog. I have linked my post here. Best wishes :)
I did'nt know in Star Wars, Luke Skywalker mailed some letters to Darth Vador by R2D2 !!
What fun! There are many different types of letter boxes in the UK (depending on their age), but they are all red and roughly the same.
What a fantastic blog! Why I've discovered it only now?!
Greetings from Poland :)
That is a fantastic mailbox!! Happy Friday!!
I actually blogged about one of these in 2007:
click here for my old R2-D2 mailbox post.
Today, I am frying fish postcards on my blog.
I've seen this somewhere. My brain is not working yet. I'm headed to Disneyland this weekend to take some pix of their mailboxes. Have a great day!!!
Hi, I posted one today. My first. I've seen one of the star wars mail boxes in downtown Chicago. I think it isn't there anymore. I wish I'd taken a picture.
Marie, that mailbox is interesting: it seems a robot or a slot machine or something like that. Of course, nothing to do with the ancient ones! :-)
Marie, you like mailboxes but do you know the village in the Loiret Department (45) St-Martin d'Abbat ?
A lot od people have decorated their letterbox.
You can search in google.
Just stopped by again after visiting everyone on the list. PFF is fun and I am meeting new bloggers every week too! Love the R2D2 Mailbox!
Hello Marie,
This is a great photo, especially for a film lover like me. Good choice for a mailbox, in Star Wars R2D2 also carried special messages.
This postcard Friendship Friday on European Film Star Postcards a very special French icon. Enjoy!
The R2D2 postbox is a good first step. I wonder if it's Post Office official, or if someone took it upon themselves to decorate.
A very strange and funny mailbox, which seems to come from...star wars!
yes, these mailboxes existed like 2 years ago! i'm a little sad they retired them!
i'd like to join PFF! please? :) (i'm a friend of sreisaat's and her fellow blogger at miss igorota's blog)
That mailbox is way cool! I love it!
Do you remember where you saw this mailbox? I've never seen anything like it and I live in the US.:) I love the flipping pancakes. They are so cute!
I was going to look for a postcard I had or a picture for this Friday, but didn't make it. Will try to post one next Friday. I never know what I'll find on this blog!!
Lionsmother - I found the r2d2 mailbox picture on Flickr! I've never seen one in person:)
I found a picture that I think is perfect for a postcard. But I'm having trouble figuring out where to put the Linky.:) So go check it out on my blog:

I'm going to have to find that picture and find out where it is. Those are so cool. Our mailboxes are just boring navy blue.:)
Oh yeah, those things are super cute. They were all over Boston.
