THRIFTY THURSDAY

Fill your paper with the
breathings of your heart. 


~William Wordsworth

My grandparents {all but
one} and my father have 
all been gone for many,
many years, but I do
still have letters written
in their handwriting. Letters
on pretty paper, letters
that required a stamp and
a trip to the mail box, letters
that I consider one of my
 most prized possessions.
For years I have wanted a
writing box, you know,
like they had in the 'olden
days' when people would
write letters while traveling
on a train or ship.
 Once again I did not go
thrifting this week, but
my son and his wife did
and guess what they
found me? A writing
table! It's a simple little
pine box that could use a
coat of paint, but other
than that it's perfect.
With my daughter and
her family moving this
summer [we still don't
know where], I want to
start writing letters to
the wee one. Emails and
computers have their place,
but when I am gone I want
the wee one to have the
letters I have written in
my own handwriting, not
typed on a keyboard. I
want her to know my
heart!
Linking with the very
talented Cory for her
thrifting post.
