definitely creative -- the last one would be my favourite... makes me want to leave a letter in there...
I had found a buoy used as a letterbox up in Kaitaia but unfortunately didn't take a picture! I regret that now. It would have been a great addition!
My "letterbox" as you call it here was run over by someone just yesterday! I may need to get creative with my replacment of it... in light of what I've seen here...LOL..
We'll brain storm when you get here.

For all I know, there's a law in North America for what you can use as a letterbox, but it'd be interesting to see how long it would take them to come and tell you to take it down! Let's do it! Preparing my brainstorming juices...
