Expressions of Love...: Birthday Boy

Birthday Boy

I know, I know. I, the self-confessed card-addict who spends 90% of her free time wandering through stationery and card shops, struggle with this too. It is indeed quite difficult to choose cards for men. But, on occasion ... you find something indescribably perfect, universal and appropriate for every single man out there: a rotating card from The Regional Assembly of Text, Vancouver born and bred card company, ingenius in its simplicity.

Now, what guy wouldn't have a giggle about this--the truth comes out.

Genius. Sheer genius.

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.
