I was rummaging through my boxes the other day and found some (very, very) old correspondence which dated as early as 1989. I had just moved to the UK that year and I received quite a lot of mail from my old friends back in Indonesia. A few letters, some birthday cards, and even a handmade shadow puppet my good friend had so lovingly made for me. Do you like making handmade cards for your loved ones? I've seen quite a few online craft classes in the internet, and I think I might add that to my wish list. :)
Anyway, it was such a sweet moment to just sit and read them all again, so I was inspired to make some vintage themed handmade cards (while daydreaming about my schooldays!). They're all available in my shop and anxiously await all of you corresponding lovers out there! :)
Hugs,
How lovely, Amalia! As always are your wonderful works. Thanks for sharing, friend.

Hey, I see you are getting back in touch with your inner child - I wish I could do that but I left mine in a shop somewhere last year....
ReplyDeleteSo innocent these are, they have a wonderful glow, I'm sure they'd create that same glow in anyone who received them :)
They are just so so sweet! :) I miss letter-writing. I still do love to send cards, though!!!!! I get so excited to see them in the mail.:)
ReplyDeleteHey :) The chickens are for decoration ! But I like the theory that they are personifying human emotion :) (If only I was that smart!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely blog! So glad I found you; I'm now a follower!
ReplyDeleteBest,

ReplyDeleteThe cards are more than lovely! Those people who will receive them some day, do not suppose this at all - how could they? But, oh, what a sweet surprise is waiting for them!!
ReplyDeleteI like especially the girl with the key!:)
The letters and postcards we keep - sweet memories, smiles, sighs and even tears... I must open my old correspondence boxes with thorn edges!:) And "sink" into my past, and feel my younger, nearly forgotten "me"!
Thanks for this post, Amalia!!:)xx
They're wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI’m loving your paper goods loving! Love the cards! Nice work Amalia!
