Photo [Sealed with Wax]

Wax stick & seal 
"J"

We live in a sphere of instant communication. There is no need to wait when all social networks are at our smartphone fingertips. It's exciting and convenient having friends, family and a wealth of information mere seconds away. 

I still feel that nothing is nicer than a handwritten letter. There's something about script that carries far more weight than any other type of written communication and it really comes down to the fact that it's personal. Every letter is cherished and re-read, whereas even the loveliest of emails seem somewhat disposable. I have a true appreciation for handmade paper, stationary and old-fashioned correspondence and I count myself the luckiest girl in the world when a spontaneous from-the-heart note turns up in the old mailbox. It's trite but true that the smallest and least expensive gestures are without a doubt most meaningful.

Above are photos of my wax seal. It came from Urbanic Paper
