Another referral from Missive Maven, I present to you Everyday Correspondence! It's a lovely blog, chock-o-block full of tips, tricks and reviews of fountain pen ink. One of his tricks involves sealing the ink of your addressed envelopes by rubbing them with wax. Ingenious! He even offers downloads of vintage letterhead. I can even say that I've received a letter on this stationery! Small postal world. Please do check it out; you won't be disappointed.
Oh, internet, I love you. You are full of wonderful things and some of them are even free. Why, just look at this!
It's a free download over at "The Blah, Blah, Blahg..." which is anything but blah, by the way. What's more, there are many, many more styles of labels she has available like:
Ledger paper {and you know how much we like ledgers!}
SchoolAnd other fun things just waiting for you to discover them. Remember to say thank you to her! {Also, check out another thing she's involved with: The Bright Side Project. Great giveaway contests every day!}
Tell your pen pal just how great they are with these three award badges! Simply cut out the awards, fold the badge over a safety pin (diagram included with download) and secure with tape on the backside. Pin the awards onto the lapel of amazing letter writers or mail to your awesome pen pal. Repeat as necessary.
