Description:

Sit back an enjoy the nostalgia of a Nancy Drew mystery adventure. Drink hot chocolate, sink back into your chair, and revel in the characters and images and phrases. (hopefully it will be dark and rainy outside!)

Now you are in the mood! Send your partner a fun Nancy Drew parcel, including (but not limited to):

  • A Nancy Drew book -one of the original series, not one of the revised series in the 80's, IF possible (of course, it can be a reprinted edition)
  • A bookmark, created or purchased, fitting the theme
  • one piece of stationery or mail-art type item, created or purchased
  • Several 'clues' so your partner can assist the titian-haired detective in solving her mystery! (broad definition here, both creativity and frugality are allowed!)

Remember, it's a mystery... don't give it away!

Did you ever read the current Nancy Drew satire, Confessions of a Teen Sleuth, by Chelsea Cain?? Irreverent. But too funny. :)

pardon the nearly inappropriate typo, now removed! (It was titian-haired, I swear it was!)

I haven't read that one...but I have read Chelsea Cain's really, really inappropriate-for-teens thrillers, hah.

does anyone collect the vintage 'blue cover' Nancy Drews? just curious. I had a couple at one point & would be willing to share if I can find them again, lol.

I LOVE them. As a girl I had the whole set, and we decided to give them to someone when I 'outgrew' them. Who knew I would grow back into them???

And I'm kicking myself now because I found this exact book (pictured) in an old book store today but left without it... and I don't know when I will end up back there again! Grr. It would have been fun to send my swap partner the same book I used in the picture. (lame, I know)

There is something about the cover to this book that always pops into my mind when I think of Nancy.

on the bright side there are 100+ other titles to choose from, lol. There is a postcard book of old cover reprints but I cant remember the publisher....

Postcard book is from Chronicle--I have it! :) there is a cool set of fold & seal aerogrammes as well.

I am stressing out about an upcoming family visit so I am too afraid to join, but, oh, it sounds fun!
