Expressions of Love...: Ben and Jerry's

Ben and Jerry's

This just came from Vermont. Doesn't it look very Vermont-y to you? My friend goes to Middlebury College, where they get free Ben n Jerry's ice cream all the time. Which makes me extremely jealous, because I am pretty sure that Ben n Jerry's is the best ice cream ever. My personal favourite is Mint Chocolate Cookie--once, I will not lie, I ate an entire tub. In one sitting. So this card is especially beautiful--because it came from the land of Ben n Jerry's. And even though I'm not exactly sure what else they have in Middlebury, VT--at least they have that. And that's something to write home about, definitely. ;)

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.
