I saw the National Stationery week in mid-May and had to triple check the World one. Why two? Beats me. I've been well, thanks. You? Had fun the other night reorganizing my stationery. :)

I’m in, of course! I almost forgot World Stationery Day even though it’s on my Calendar for Note and Letter Writers. I’ve been focused on National Stationery Week in mid-May which is actually in conjunction with the London Stationery Show in London. That’s on my bucket list! Have you been?

"Reading her words (and seeing her handwriting), I’m instantly transported back to that moment. As if I had just received her letter in the mail. As if she were still alive." What a strong case for written correspondence! Rereading emails and text messages simply don't have the same impact as a handwritten note from the heart, so I will be joining you on World Stationery Day to celebrate the joy of real paper, real pens and real connection. Thank you, Felice. This is such a beautiful essay!
