Ilona/Missive Maven was one of my first full-time pen pals a few years ago when I first started writing to people I knew online. Her letters are beautifully written in fountain pen, are full to the brim and have a lovely flow to them. They're a real pleasure to read and I am so grateful each time she sends me one. I have owed her a proper letter for a long time. I made this envelope to send a letter to her in so long ago that I had written my old address in the corner (I moved 6 months ago!).
Letter writing used to be a big part of my life and I would like to start writing letters again. I know that I can't write like I did a few years ago (hundreds!) or I'll burn myself out in no time, but there are a couple of people I've been meaning to keep in better contact with. Next month I am going to see if I can write a couple more letters.
Oh hooray! Thanks for the link and the mention, and now I am ever so excited to receive your letter!
ReplyDeleteI'm so lacking on the letter front and also owe Ilona a nice long letter. I agree, her letters are like one long, warm cup of tea :) xx
ReplyDeleteWait, really? I thought *I* owed *YOU* a letter. Oh well, let's just each write whenever we feel inspired and have the time to do so! Thanks for the compliment on warm-tea-like letters. :-)
DeleteI used to have about 100 pen pals (the right snail mail type) when I was about 16. Little by little some never wrote back, to some I stopped writing. But I still have some of them, very few and we managed to write properly almost twice a year but we do connect more often with facebook or e-mails.AriadnefromGreece!
ReplyDeleteSince moving to Scotland I've been wanting to gt back into letter writing. My problem is not writing he letters, it's actually sending them. Doing ok so far, though! I love your envelope and the printable stationery I've seen on the blog. By the way, how Hve you decorated your keyboard? Is it washit tape? It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteYour letter sending style is amazing. I always love seeing how you've designed them :)
ReplyDeleteI try to post at least two letters a month,it´s my favorite activity in the world :)
ReplyDeleteYours looks lovely!
Your keyboard is ace! ELL x
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I should be worried that I still haven't received this yet. I have not been terribly pleased with the mail handling here recently. Argh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful letter! I've just started my snail mail kick and I'm so addicted. Still looking for more!
