I joined the Stationery Swap arranged by Elizabethd
My partner was Laura in the USA.... she was a great partner and sent me some very pretty things that I would have certainly chosen for myself - half the fun is receiving/sending things you know the other partner would not find in their own country ...Laura also enclosed four cards she had made, they are beautiful (as you can see at the top of this picture).
Thank you so much Laura for your generous and thoughtful package. I am glad mine arrived safely and that you like everything. Thank you too Elizabethd for putting everyone together.
As you know I like reading Susan Branch and on her blog *here* is a little snippet on letter writing. She also wrote in one of her books about the box she keeps of beautiful things to write with - stationery, cards, stamps, ribbon, etc. I have been wanting to do the same, so Laura's gifts will make a perfect beginning. Maybe you will feel inspired to make one too.
Letter writing is something that I love, there is the thrill of receiving post from another part of the world, the interesting news from someone who is experiencing another climate/season and lifestyle and the connection with a like-minded person; so I hope the swap will inspire all us participants to get writing!
