I had to smile when I read this, because I just got the latest disney magazine and one of the adverts was for DVC of 3 disney mailboxes, Mickey, donald and goofy i think. Anyway- I really really like the mickey mailbox!!!
They had taken a plain metal malibox painted black, and on the front part that lowers down, painted it solid red, with 2 yellow ovals outlined in black to make his shorts. above the ovals they also wrote 'MICKEY' in mickey writing (not disney script) in yellow outlined with black. Then for the little mail flag, it is a black stick with a mickey hand on it (kinda looks like the mickey back scratcher!) It is really really cute- and I was thinking of trying to make one - I think I could maybe find the letters at a scrapping store.
