love letters

Ah, romantic gestures. ;)

I did one for D. He has a lot on his plate at the moment so {with a little help} I concocted a week long gift that would remind him of what is joyful about what we share, and also what he needs to remember to do!

Every day for a week he received a hand delivered squishy envelope containing a vintage looking luggage tag embellished with a meaningful quote and a stone with a hand drawn letter on it. {SO fun to do.}

I mixed up the stones so he would have to work out what word the stones spelled at the end of the week. I spent quite some time choosing quotes that were relevant to us, writing them out with my amazing calligraphy pen, choosing stones, drawing the letters on, then wrapping each one in a piece of linen and making handwritten labels for the envelopes.

Note to all those thinking this is an awesome idea. It is. But also, if you don’t indicate that this week long gift fest is from you, there may be some confusion and misunderstanding, leading to necessary explanations, which is NOT romantic. {Don’t ask.}
