The dream of Nyssa, Ink.
began over 25 years ago in Eugene, Oregon
when I first wrote the words "Nyssa, Ink." down on paper.
I've always been addicted to paper goods...
I still today have the postcards and cards
that I collected and were sent to me since my childhood.
friends from camp.
cute boys I met on vacation.
the friend who moved away.
when I moved away.
postcards of travels.
love notes.
notes passed in class.
This was a time when correspondence was still always by hand,
whether in writing or by typewriter.
No emails.
No texts.
It was a time when messages were communicated directly,
by voice or by written word.
A time when a sentiment was something real you could hold onto.
Something to keep and remember.
Something to treasure.
XO, Nyssa
I love snail mail. For a while I was doing mail art but it got to be just really overwhelming. I love it when I get good mail, and I love sending cards. I don't write letters that much, unfortunately though your blog post may start me doing that again.
ReplyDeleteI have snail mail headed your way this week! FUN! :)
DeleteI remember posting on Facebook something like : 'when was the last time you got a real handwritten letter' ... somebody answered me in a comment : 'We can start writing today if you want !' And then ... I got real letters ... I sent real letters ... I love my pen-pal !!!
ReplyDeleteI remember that day too <3 Keepsakes and momentos! Momentos - something meant to warm. :)
DeleteYour stationary section is amazing - not surprising at all, though, in the grand tradition of the Nyssa Ink brand <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kay and CJ!!!
