♥ living in your letters.

image via we heart it.

in the hustle and bustle of everyday life

when i cannot find the extra time to

paint my nails or read a good book,

i feel a stirring in my soul to go back

to the age of english author, jane austen,

when there was absolutely nothing wrong with

spending an entire day in a sunlit drawing room,

sipping tea by the hearth with gentelman callers

or taking a moment. or two. or three.

to compose a well–written letter.

i might be alone on this one––

but there is nothing more delicious to me

than the smell and feel of crisp, new stationery.

the only thing is that letter writing has become

a thing of the past, a dying art that

has been rendered obsolete

with the development

and ease of the

modern

email.

thankfully, irene chen and matthew chenby

of the gorgeous website, iomoi,

have found a way to marry new technology with

the intimate and personal process of letter writing by

offering a membership for e–stationery,

so delectable and so affordable that

it will have you reaching out to

those loved ones and

long forgotten penpals

in no time.

with an ever–changing selection of

stationery templates and fonts,

you can make your e–letter uniquely yours,

and with the capacity to send your email

at the click of a button,

you can ensure that your letter

will never carry yesterday's news.

love all of them:

or maybe you are of the jane austen ilk,

still writing old fashioned letters,

keeping lists of your next dancer partners,

and need only to update your

custom stationery and calling cards

iomoi has got you covered!

here are some of my faves:
