So nice to read about some else who writes letters. I love to write letters and still converse frequently with my grandmother. I also write to a couple of girls my husband and I sponsor in other countries. Right now our stationery is in a three-drawer plastic bin, but I bought an old Ladies Home Journal tin from an antique store for a dollar and am planning to put smaller cards in it. I like your fabric baskets. Maybe I'll make one of my own and invest in a variety of writing supplies besides just cards. I keep old cards and correspondence in a small picnic basket I got as a wedding gift years ago. Great post! So nice to read about some else who writes letters.

It's such a great reminder of periods in my life. I got really sad though while reading this post, thinking of how much has been lost with email. I can't remember the last time I received an actual letter. I think I will start the tradition again! I have saved tons of letters/cards too. It’s such a great reminder of periods in my life.

I've got birthday cards, letters, thank you notes, etc., going back for many, many years. Every now and then I run across a box of stored letters and re-read them. What a treasure they are!

My husband and I have considered compiling all of the emails and notes we sent eachother from the time we met until the time we got married into some sort of book. Sort of like the Mitfords I guess.
