I’ve fallen hard for my new home town of Port Hope, Ontario, Canada, I mean, how could I not with its historic downtown and the many beautiful century homes?
Today on the blog I welcome you to view the ‘mailboxes of Port Hope’ gallery. I have a sneaking suspicion it is the first of a few such gallery posts as I’ve only just arrived.
Did you notice the two little decorative doggies welcoming all incoming mail at number nine?
Above and below photos show this creative and clever homemade mailbox. Toolbox and wrench. Genius.
I particularly like the wrench as the ‘flag’ on the mailbox. Fun fact: the flag on a mailbox is called a carrier flag and when up it means there is outgoing mail to be picked up.
I call this house the pastel house. Perfect for Spring. This sage green mailbox is a gem.
Regal this one. I imagine very important mail being delivered to this box.
Honestly I swoon every time I walk past this house. Such style. And the mailbox is no exception.
Tell me, which mailbox do you like best?
Stay tuned for the next edition of ‘Mailboxes in Port Hope.’
Port Hope is really a beautiful name for the place one lives in.
I’ve never been to Port Hope but my ancestors came from there (via England) before homesteading in the west. Having seen your photos, now I want to visit!
