Birth of A Notion: The first Missive post

Welcome to Birth of a Notion a blog that has a smattering of life but mostly a blog about the art of all things Letter writing. Fountain pens, Fine stationery (oh my favorite) and things pen pal related. You can check the blog wrap and the section that says We Support for Letter writing clubs and more information on all things letter.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." ~Thomas Jefferson Declaration of Independence 1776

The first Missive post

Forgive the poor picture quality I had to use my cell phone as the batteries in my (bad) camera are dead.

This is a letter that came through the mail yesterday from a new pen pal. The gold paper ontop is what I will be using to reply. Southworths Find Parchment in Gold with a personal flourish added to the top thanks to my photoshop and my printer. It also smells like Roses.
