Lusting Over Things on Thursdays: Stationery

I believe in letters whether they are love letters or thank you notes or letters of friendship.  I believe they are necessary in this world of technology.  Writing thank you notes is extremely important to me.  I think I have written one for almost every Christmas and birthday gift I have received.  I hope people value letters the same way that I do.

Moreover, I love beautiful, fun, and pretty stationery.  Here are a few of my favorites:

To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart.  ~Phyllis Theroux

What a lot we lost when we stopped writing letters.  You can't reread a phone call.  ~Liz Carpenter

Letters are above all useful as a means of expressing the ideal self; and no other method of communication is quite so good for this purpose.  In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires... ~Elizabeth Hardwick
