Coronation post-box topper / myLot

United Kingdom

July 31, 2023 12:30pm CST

I meant to show you this ages ago. I’ve mentioned before that there seems to be a ‘thing’ these days for decorating the tops of post boxes with bespoke hand-made decorations, usually crocheted, though sometimes knitted, and generally seasonal. Naturally there had to be some to celebrate the coronation – the first in over 70 years! This one was a particular favourite, someone had obviously put in a lot of time and effort. I wonder what happens to them all afterwards? All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2023.

Cute. And amazing to me that someone delivers mail to your house.

This is the box we post letters into, on the street.

For a post box I just have a four inch diameter pipe stuck on the gate.

Certainly a lot of time and effort went into that. A huge amount in fact.

A lot of work went into all the pieces. I hope they get donated or something like that. Enjoy your day.

That’s so cute! I thought you were going to tell us you did that, and I was thinking, she’s Wonder Woman!

I’ve only seen mailboxes decorated with plastic flowers or paint. This one looks weird.

It is cute, but I would be concerned that weather, people, and other things would ruin it outside.

That does look beautiful! And definitely a lot of time, effort and care has gone into making them. They are precious and should be treated well, even after the coronation.
