Another tagback from Book Chick on sendsomething.net:

Last time: Fairies

The postmark on the back from 18 October 2014 says "Go Team San Francisco!"

I think it's awesome that the post office is supporting their team (Giants versus Royals in the Series right now, btw).

Also, I love the regulars on sendsomething that <i> always</i> tagback!
