Expressions of Love...: From California With Love

From California With Love

Got this in the mail on Friday. It's been a while, I know, but school is crazy and I wish all I had to do with my life was scan and post cards on the internet and send them to people and just spread the love, but unfortunately, I have to go to school. One day, I suppose, I'll have to get a real job that pays me more than $7.33/hour. Although, I guess in some respects that's a good thing! Haha ... Anyways, this is a card from my friend in California. Beautiful, random as anything, and a source of great jealousy.

Letterpress card by Blue Barnhouse. I am in love, their site is awesome and absolutely loaded with crazy, inappropriate, saucy cards. All beautifully letter-pressed, of course. :)

And as lovely as that card is, this article is the true source of my jealousy!! John Krasinski at Pomona College? I am woebegone that I was not there to experience it. I don't know about anyone else, but the Office is the best show in existence on TV. How can you not want to sit down and laugh for a half hour? I just have to say, I don't know if anyone saw it last week, but Jim and Pam's wedding was the cutest thing ever, one of the top ten Office episodes I've seen. Sigh. You should definitely check it out if you haven't already, because it gave me goosebumps. And made me wish I was married to John Krasinki.

Sealed with love...

Anyone, anywhere can fire off an email, send a fax or post something on your facebook wall. It takes a grand total of two and a half seconds--some text, the click of a button, and you're done. Instant communication, lost in the abyss of cyberspace--hardly what you would call an expression of love. With the advent of internet, yes, it's tragic, but true--we have almost lost the beautiful permanence of letter writing. Sure, it's slower and it's more tedious than sending an e-card, but it's the effort involved that makes cards, letters, notes in the mail expressions of love; because in taking the time to choose your stationary, write your note, enclose a photo or magazine article, and deliver it to a mail box or post office--you've just proven the depth and beauty of snail mail. You've just told someone, through your actions alone, that you love them.

You love cards. I love cards. We all love cards.

It's a reciprocal business, sending cards, letters, postcards, packages, flying elephants (ok, probably not the flying elephants, but if you do happen to find one, you should drop me a line). And so card-sharing should be a reciprocal business, too! Send me cards, letters, cool stationery, tidbits of mail--anything wonderful and whimsical that goes or comes in the mail. Scan it, add a little blurb telling us what it's all about--why it's special, why it's cute, why you love it, why we should love it--send it (sadly via email: cooper22722@yahoo.ca) and I'll post it. With love, of course.
