Collection / Letters, Part 1:

October 4, 2012


Today's collection is of letters! There is something so wonderful about a handwritten letter. I think because snail mail is sent so much less since we have emails. You really have to be intentional about sending a actual letter these days! There were so many beautiful images of letters, I am breaking this up into a couple parts. Hope you enjoy this collection!

  20. Lovely post.

    Last time I handwrote a letter or postcard was years ago to a friend. I wish I had time to start doing so again.

  21. I am literally obsessed with handwritten letters. The thing is, I'm an introvert/homebody. My friends go for long periods of time without seeing or hearing from me, so I use handwritten letters to stay connected until we meet again. I also send other handmade goodies by mail, but it's mostly letters and cards just to say hello. They love it. Or at least I think they do. No gifts have been returned as of yet lol. I'm so glad to have found this blog. It is my essence :)

  22. These are such beautiful pictures, and remind me of my own stack of letters that I have kept sent by my husband to me...not quite as visual, but they're the first objects I'd save if my home were on fire! i still get a buzz when I receive a handwritten letter!

  23. Love that picture of the bundle of letters in the middle.

  24. That makes my heart sing!! I love mail and sending out cute stationery! The little kids mailing the letters is too cute for words! I save every letter I get and put it in my shoebox since I was a kid. It's fun to go thru and reminisce. One day I hope my kids see how enjoyable writing is! Gorgeous, gorgeous photos!
