I decided I would begin to offer some personal stationery, because I love to print, and because I want to encourage all the letter writers out there not to give up the pen for the mouse. I love going through old letters from friends; I feel so rich from the experience, and wonder at the fragility of email. Will I be reading through old emails in the future? I don’t now.
