I know I caught the bug when I was a young girl maybe 10 or 12 and my favorite aunt gave me the most lovely stationary I had ever seen. My favorite flowers are roses and these had red ones all over. I still have some of it as I didn't want to use it all. I have tons of stationary but never thought to make any and give as gifts. Thanks so much for the encouragement to hand write a letter today. Have a wonderful and blessed day. ;0)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513451033243706315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-45143912864868592252011-06-22T13:13:55.297-07:002011-06-22T13:13:55.297-07:00This post reminded me that I had a letter to my gr...This post reminded me that I had a letter to my grandmother (that I had penned on Monday while waiting for my daughter to finish ballet) in my knitting bag.

Much to the loss of humanity, I might add. I love beautiful stationary. I collect Victorian notecards, and beautiful journals. Some just to have around for their beauty - others I use. Thanks for the letter writing tip at the end of the post - I'll be checking that out! Also - thanks for visiting my whimsey tea today - I'd love to see that whimsey little cup you mentioned!<br />Joy!<br />Miss KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-78263068938435277932011-06-22T13:05:52.763-07:002011-06-22T13:05:52.763-07:00Good Afternoon, I want to thank you for stopping b...Good Afternoon, I want to thank you for stopping by my lil corner in the blogging world and leaving a comment. I can only give my LORD credit for one smile on my face today, or one skip in my step, or the laughter that may ring out from my soul...only the LORD can bring such restoration!<br />I'm at work right now so I cannot visit long, but I will be back after hours and take a look at your blog and your writings and your daughter's. Once again thank you for stopping in.

I too, believe we are missing something because of all the ways we have to communicate now which replaces the personal flavor of a letter sent snail mail. I used an old cookbook the other day and tender thoughts of my grandmother were stirred up as I came across her handwritten notes on the recipes or stuck in the pages. Let's keep the tradition alive as long as we can!Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-50219595718032344342011-06-22T12:40:54.556-07:002011-06-22T12:40:54.556-07:00Precious Pamela, your writing ALWAYS touches my he...Precious Pamela, your writing ALWAYS touches my heart. What you posted today is so relevant to something God has been whispering to my heart to do ... to write my sweet 10 year old letters and post them to her even though she is right here at home with me. Lately she opens the post box and sighs to herself "I wish I could get a letter too". Her little 10 year old heart expresses just what you wrote today. The importance of really expressing our love for one another by taking the time to build into our meaningful relationships. Thank you for this beautiful post. MUCH love to you as always xxxJanine Claire Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814119908907688750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-28391285387221862782011-06-22T09:19:18.791-07:002011-06-22T09:19:18.791-07:00Checking the mail is one of my favorite times of t...Checking the mail is one of my favorite times of the day!

Give the world another ten years or so and we will probably have no mail deliveries. Letters will soon become obsolete. That will be a sad day. I once cherished receiving mail from my sisters and mother and watched for the mailman.. Keeping the letters to re-read over and over.. <br />Hugs CrystalSr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-80378264621344634912011-06-21T22:29:44.176-07:002011-06-21T22:29:44.176-07:00Pamela, I feel the same way you do about receiving...Pamela, I feel the same way you do about receiving a letter in the mail.
