the art of writing a letter and the thrill of finding vintage treasures~

remember when we used to run out to the mailbox hoping for a letter from someone? whether it be a grandparent, a friend, or even a pen pal. there was something about getting a handwritten letter. i was going through some old photos recently and found so many letters from my grandma lu and cards from friends. unfortunately, handwritten letters or anything else for that matter are becoming obsolete. i still love to write letters and send cards to friends ...and i love leaving little notes behind for my girls and husband, but i started thinking about what they will leave behind?? will we dig up old phone records and read their text messages?? the art of letter writing is slowly dying. wanna join me and keep it going? even if it's just a quick note to let someone know you're thinking of them, write it down and send it in the mail. the joy of receiving a letter in the mail is worth your effort~
* the photo above is a letter to my mother-n-law from her grand dad. she has kept it all these years.
