Write a love letter.


Think of someone you care about, find a moment you want to describe, make an envelope (or get one out of the desk drawer), reuse a piece of paper, and start writing.


When we let people know how much we care about them it makes the world a better place.
I adore sending letters to people. I also adore receiving letters. Normally I use canvas bags when I go grocery shopping, but once or twice this summer I stopped in without them so I came home with a brown paper bag. And now I was able to snip them up and turn them into envelopes and papers with a bit of inspiration from dear friends. Also after having visited a paper making factory in India and having collected beautiful stationary this is all at my disposal for letter writing & I have decided to start mixing and matching.
