Recently, I visited an Etsy shop called Edelweiss Post, which is owned and curated by a handsome young man from Minneapolis named Patrick...
this is his photo from his Etsy site...
And here's the envelope he sent me after I wrote him the old fashioned way (snail mail)...
I love that Patrick has saved his grandfather's stamps and is using them to make beautiful stamp collages. Patrick is my new pen pal and I was absolutely thrilled to receive this beautiful envelope in the mail!
It's fun to find a kindred soul who appreciates the beauty of old things, things that aren't made any longer, things that become precious to us because of this.
I hope you'll visit his Etsy shop and support his endeavor.
