Wish You Were Here

My old-fashioned ways of writing letters and sending thank you notes have led me to a pretty awesome collection of stationary and postcards.

In this electronic age, it is safe to say that some may never pick up an ink pen again.  But I don’t care how in love you are with your cell phones and laptops.  A handwritten card will forever produce a thrill.  (That is, until some idiot succeeds in nixing snail mail.)

For those of you who still write letters, you might appreciate my latest batch of outgoing mail – thank you notes to all the people I saw on my recent visit back home.  My favorite element of this primitive art?  Choosing the right card for the right person.

Sent the Boston Massacre postcard to the sister with whom I may never stop fighting.

Gangster Car Doodle

From my one college year in Boston.  Playing around with sweet silver markers, and letting my Gangster out.  (And apparently I was French that day — Chlo-ayh.)
