Writing a letter . . .
June 4, 2009
{Writing by Mother}
. . . is such a pleasurable way to encourage others. I don’t do it as often as I would like to, but when I get around to doing it I find it thoroughly enjoyable!
I used a dip pen and ink, and wore an apron to protect my skirt from being stained.
Our lovely shade tree made for a perfectly pleasant time!
While living the life my Lord has blessed me with, I am at home with my family enjoying being a daughter, homemaker and artist. My highest goal is to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever. It is He that has saved me with His amazing grace and is continually molding me; to Him I owe everything. Read more . . .
Lovely photo, Emily Rose!
I enjoy handwritten letters so very much!
Joyfully,

Very pretty :-)
I should get out my glass dip pens and use them…
Last night was so interesting! I loved the dancing and music :-)
It was great to see you and your family!!

Love this!
I want to write real letters more often…
:)
Your photos are poetic.
I definitely want to start writing letters more often, but it seems that most of my friends prefer e-mail. :( Also, I think a dip pen would be the perfect addition to my wax seal set!
Have you ever done a recipe tree?
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

You and your family take the most beautiful photos!
Yes letter writing is so great isn’t it, I really must make more time for it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog – to answer your question – yes I have always lived in NZ
Letter writing *sigh* Oh, it is such a lovely thing to pass the time with. Katie and I have adapted hand written letters and as of the moment my third finger on my right hand is stained with black ink, and the blankness of a page is no more.
Awwww….. yes there is nothing so grand as
writing a letter…. with paper and ink!

Gorgeous picture! In this day of email and blogs, thank you for the gentle, sweet reminder of handwritten letters. I know what I’m going to do this weekend!

You are so inspiring! I should go look for our dip pen and ink, I haven’t used them in a long time.

How lovely. *sigh* Handwritten letters are a rare gem; this hobby is fast fading in our time and is, sadly, being replaced by email and texting. I just love to get a letter in the mail!!! :)
I think it would be nice to have a dip pen. Does anyone know where I might find one? Perhaps at thrift shops? Thank you for your help.
Blessings,

That is a wonderful photo. You should post a dip pen tutorial sometime!
Your apron is so cute looing!!!
