Friends,

Lately I have been drawn to fountain pens, handwritten letters, and simple desks that invite you to grab a pen and write. Since school started my two oldest have been doing a lot of their work on the computer. I appreciate all the cool things you can do, like taking a virtual tour of Ancient cave paintings for your history class. But it also makes me nostalgic for those simpler times when all one had was a fountain pen, desk,and paper. Maybe even handmade paper.

Well, I will keep pinning pictures of handwritten letters, leather journals, and antique looking pens. And maybe I will start writing my Christmas cards early. That is the one time a year you might get a handwritten letter from me.
