Love Letters


I absolutely love this kit, but then I'm a sucker for all things shabby chic (or Victorian -- they're similar in style). Though you would never know it, to see the interior of my house... white walls, toys on every flat surface...

The kit includes a 12x12 pre-designed QP (see preview above) that I like so much, I am currently using as my desktop wallpaper. :)

Working on this kit reminded me of antique shops around the region where I grew up, full of boxes and boxes of really old letters, postcards and family photos. It seems sad to see such personal and once-loved things being sold in such an impersonal way.

When I was in college, my mom used to send me old Victorian era portrait photos that she thought were particularly interesting. She said I could hang them on my walls as "instant ancestors"... if their real relatives couldn't enjoy the pictures, at least I could.
