One of the nicest things about having connections to and with calligraphers is that you sometimes get very very lovely snail mail!
In the last two weeks I have received two gorgeously-addressed envelopes that have made me smile, and then want to show everybody near me!
The first is a thank you from Tania; a talented Gold Coast calligrapher, and the second is a thank you from Helen another very talented calligrapher, this time from Buderim.
It's such a happiness to receive these lovely envelopes and the handwritten cards as well - so thank you both. I just had to share these little moments of joy...

ReplyDeleteThere just isn't anything quite like a hand-written letter or note. Nothing compares to it, in my opinion. And sadly, it doesn't happen all that often anymore. The mailbox has always been my favorite place. Lately, just bills have arrived.
ReplyDeleteVery special treats, to be sure! Lucky you...well deserved, however! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteCalligraphers are sooooo creative! Lucky you.
