I remembered my mother stitching embroidery on these handkerchiefs and she taught my older sister to do the same.<br />…Oh yes!!!! Letter writing is a lost art, I agree. Have we become so busy to sit and write a letter or two? I do recall the days of penpals…Is that word still in the dictionary? LOL:) <br /> In the bygone era of letter writing, this was the way we communicated and at times how we made long distance friendship, how we learned of family from afar, birthdays, death, new births, etc… Notecards were sent for no apparent reason at all, nevertheless, it spoke volume to the recipient of a small thought someone was thinking of them..I could go on I suppose:). I will give a lot of the credit to all things computer and a lot of the online social interaction. There is a lot to be said about online "social" interaction. I could go on there too:), but I won't.<br />I admire your stitchery projects you send as RAK Carol, and I know they are very well received. I believe in return, the kindest gestures are reciprocated.<br />Take care and hugs my friend, always,<br />j:)<br />Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387913442305007906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-57574356378315637292014-03-03T22:20:00.997-05:002014-03-03T22:20:00.997-05:00Love your February basket of finishes.

E-mail has become so much more convenient I guess, plus it doesn't cost a postage stamp to send an e-mail.

I have the word play one in one of my stitching bags, I need to pull it out and finish it up. :-) Your bowl of valentine stitching is gorgeous!

I love your February bowl of smalls and you have added two marvelous works on it. Since I read your post now I can not get the song "Stupid Cupid" out of my head, haha! <br />Your whole post is very romantic and when I read the part concerning the letters I hat do nod very often. I also miss the time where we wrote handwritten letters - especially to get them …. I keep many of these old letters in a box too. There are such a bread memory of former days.<br /><br />I hope the end of February brought some sunny and springlike days to you!<br />Hugs<br />HildaHildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092954687050252606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-84547796396889845642014-02-24T07:11:03.941-05:002014-02-24T07:11:03.941-05:00Carol,
Happy belated Valentine's Day to you! I...Carol,<br />Happy belated Valentine's Day to you! I love your February bowl of goodies - each ornament is so beautiful. The little cupid is so adorable. The February wordplay is gorgeous and your rick rack is perfect! I have the wordplay patterns but have not stitched one yet. <br />Your treasured hankies and letters are certainly a trip down memory lane. I can totally understand that it would be emotional reading them and thinking about your loved ones who wrote them but what great mementos to have. A couple of my favourite mementos are a letter written by my grandma to her mom and in it she has just had ice cream for the first time and I have two of grandma's diaries. I think it's because in both cases, grandma was just writing about her days/life but to me, they are so precious. <br />We have just returned from vacation so I am trying to catch up. <br />Happy stitching and hugs to you, Wanda<br />Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950566497869582216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-73863825614712298462014-02-24T06:42:31.045-05:002014-02-24T06:42:31.045-05:00I discover your blog.

What wonderful things to share of days gone by. to be it's also sad that nobody writes letters anymore and this day in age no one even talks anymore with texting. Especially kids. my daughter is in 4th grade and most of her friends have ipods that they text on since 2nd and even 3rd grade. To me that's too young.My daughter won't have it for a while yet and am thankful that she loves to talk and write. She can write a story that you would not believe.Someday I think I will put them in a book for her.<br />by the way I think my favorite is the blue bird as well.<br />Take Care<br /><br />Maureenmsmartellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15106422854311213251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-59407580298738100932014-02-17T13:24:37.597-05:002014-02-17T13:24:37.597-05:00The February wordplay is finished so beautifully C...The February wordplay is finished so beautifully Carol and your little cupid is adorable and so teeny tiny.<br />Such wonderful hankerchiefs, how wonderful for you to have those.<br />I found a letter my hubby had written to me the other day and that brought a tear to my eye, it must be over 20 years ago that he sent it letters are so lovely.

This time it's wonderful to see all the red and pink pillows. Little cupid is such a sweetie, a funny little guy. And the new word play looks great in your bowl, too. As for my favourite - it would be the one on the right hand side, the white basket with the red and pink flowers. Is it a Prairie Schooler?<br /><br />Your letter box also seems to be a box of treasures. Yes, it's true, letter writing is a thing of the past. I used to exchange letters with many people all over the world but that was before the internet existed. Now everything that is left is a huge box full with all sorts of stationery. But whenever I send someone a birthday card or a get well card or something like this I try to add a letter telling about what is going on in my life. And I try to do it as often as possible.<br /><br />I hope your Valentine's Day was exactly what you wanted it to be. Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.com
