you've got mail! yes, yes, the real kind!

a beautiful etsy card...

a few weeks (or was it days?) ago, nicole blogged about making her own cards.

i've always hate a slight obsession with paper

(my mom says its what made me start crawling. true story.)

and stationary and cute cards. i'll show you some of my favorites some time. 

anyways, the inspiration card nicole blogged about

turned up in my mailbox! with a lovely letter inside. 

(and all proceeds from these cards go to japan!)

it seriously made me feel loved in a way that 

no email, text or anything electronic really can...

it turns out that letter writing isn't dead after all. 

thanks for the beautiful reminder, nicole!

love.

snail mail

handwritten letters. 

does anyone send handwritten letters anymore? 

i have to admit the only person i send snail mail to is my grandmother. 

(she doesn't even own a computer. i love that). 

letters from her always contain these hilarious clippings
from hand-outs she gets from the community center (i think?),
where she goes to eat lunch and socialize every day.
they are chock-full of silly jokes and helpful advice on how to live your life.

i do love getting letters in the mail. doesn't everyone?
why don't we do it anymore?
is there any way to bring it back?

also fun, the pictures of me i've sent her (a long time ago) that she sends back.
i definitely got my get-rid-of-everything-you-dont-need-that attitude from her:
