What a fabulous response I got to my desperate plea for letter buddies. And I'm so pleased that there are people who love and adore snail mail as much as I do. Unless it's bills, and then I'm not such a big fan.
Did I mention that our power bill was $300 this month. Ouch. And that's with us barely being here.
Speaking of letter writing, and not being able to help myself when it comes to thrifting, I thought I'd show y'all a little beauty I picked up a couple of months ago:
Da da! It's a ... um ... I don't know what the word is for it so I am going to call it my writing folder.
It has all sorts of pockets and compartments for me to store my letter writing paraphernalia:
It's circa 1984 as you can see by the helpful calendar:
I also have a thrifted letter holder:
I love this and I suspect it was handmade because inscribed on the back with a wood iron is "Dearest Mummy, love David and Margaret 1954".
Lovely.
