I try hard, and sometimes fail, to send out at least one handwritten note on a pretty card each week.I have also started giving people their own pretty cards, in hopes that one will show up in my mailbox some day. Email is wonderful, and it has helped me sustain some relationships, but oh how I love an old-fashioned hand-written note or letter.<BR/><BR/>As usual, beautiful photo.oopsydebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782387570353740415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-20926409456969130262007-03-30T21:36:00.000-05:002007-03-30T21:36:00.000-05:00When I lived in Japan, I collected a lot of handma...When I lived in Japan, I collected a lot of handmade paper and interesting stationery. Most of it remains in storage, unused. But when travelling, I always save my favorite postcards for me and write my trip journal via postcards to myself. Not only do I get to keep my favorite pictures, but I get the thrill of receiving letters from my vacation after I arrive home.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you could use your cards to send your future self notes from the present.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-12865754801810986902007-03-30T18:05:00.000-05:002007-03-30T18:05:00.000-05:00It is so true that animals come before plants.

I totally laughed out loud with the comment, "As a graphic designer I was in heaven. As a low-paid employee I was a bit of an idiot." Yeah. Same here. <BR/><BR/>I worked at the Gap one summer(ok, so it's no fabulous stationary hide-out, but you know) while I was in college and ended up spending more than I made ALL SUMMER COMBINED. <BR/><BR/>To me, clothes can be a sickness. I won't even tell you about my exploits with Zappos.<BR/><BR/>And you're right to keep that card. The saying alone is enough to warrant it. A nicer way of saying, that when everything else sucks wind, at least you can go to the garden where no one talks back.FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-9755829669173359502007-03-30T10:14:00.000-05:002007-03-30T10:14:00.000-05:00I can so relate to your card story.

I did the same thing, spent my paycheck on all the wonderful items and cards she carried. Unfortunately, hurricane Wilma did a number on our little town and Kindred Spirit had to close due to very slow sales following the hurricane. But...I still have a nice stash also!<BR/>Yes, even though the hornworms and lizards have enjoyed my little garden, there is still plenty to sooth my soul!winedebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891313852429967357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-76678013252873248072007-03-30T10:06:00.000-05:002007-03-30T10:06:00.000-05:00Thanks for the reminder.

We're starting to see our first mustard greens, and we have potatoes in the ground. We, too, are making salads out of the arugula and tat soi that survived a very harsh February here in the District of Columbia. We cooked the last of the over-wintered kale and turned the bed for carrots and beets. The collards are making such a nice comeback I'm going to let them go a bit longer. They are gorgeous, and so nice to see such a healthy patch of leafy greens this early in the season.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.com
