I'm not a knitter or sewer (yet!) but it sounds intriguing so I'll check it out anyways. :)<br />I did get a piece of mail today: A postcard via Postcrossing. :)<br />~S.xo.sorcha.oxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431135816635778553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721789526543237223.post-83056400814759114772012-11-22T13:13:18.345+10:302012-11-22T13:13:18.345+10:30I was a bit curious, do you crochet or knit!?

Reason being, I noticed that you speak of Jane Austen quite a bit on your blog, and although, I haven't had the proper chance to read through those postings, I could be in error that your an admirer of hers, but I stumbled across something quite extraordinary at the bookshoppe last year: Jane Austen Knits! A magazine devoted strictly to knitting (and/or crochet) patterns that pay homage to her niche in history. I cannot wait to start to pick up copies myself, but if you haven't come across them yet, go here: <br /><br />http://www.interweavestore.com/Knitting/Patterns/Jane-Austen-Knits-Fall-2012.html <br /><br />As it gives you a nice preview in pictures of what you can find inside! I find each issue (I've looked at 3 in person!) such a treasure trove of ideas and knitted wear that makes me smile!<br /><br />// Happy to see that you enjoyed my previous comment!

Moreso, even to that, I keep them in special folders, so that each friend's correspondances are in one place... I can take out their last letters, postcards, notelets, enclosures, etc., etc., at any moment in time, not just limited for next replies. I love spending /hours/ writing a friend. I never even notice the time that goes by, as I find that as I converse through a letter, its as though time has stopped and just for a bit, I'm elsewhere. And my friend is there too, and once the letter is delievered the other half of the conversation can begin. I love to decorate my envelopes -- especially vintage and victorian collages! Your envelopes are quite keen indeed! Many blessings to you this Thanksgiving week, with a hearty nod to blissful weather when it finds you, and loads of joy when your postman delivers the beautiful replies most likely inbound back to you!<br /><br />{PS} I realise your a world away, and its not Thanksgiving,... but I think almost anyone can attest, that friendship, mail, and the little bobbles of ordinary joy are always something to celebrate and be /thankful/ for...even if its Autumn here and Spring over there...Jorienoreply@blogger.com
