Old Letters on My Desk


On top of my little writing desk sits an apothecary jar, filled with my Grandma's old letters. 

 


She was such a faithful letter writer and saved boxes and boxes of letters.  Here is one she wrote to my sweet Grandpa while she was away visiting her mother.



Her handwriting was exquisite.  And I love how she addresses it "Dearest Husband" - so sweet. They'd been married about 25 years at this time.




Inside the envelope was the letter from my Grandpa she was replying to.  I adore how it looks like such a man's letter - scrawled out and the page indelicately ripped from a some book, but written with love all the same.




I love having these sweet reminders of my grandparents near at hand. 




Now to sit write a letter myself ... perhaps as soon as I finish these tax reports (sigh).
