♥ paper & pen.

when i was planning my wedding, i convinced myself that i could easily

 learn calligraphy (by watching a youtube video, perhaps?)

and then make out my wedding invitations in the

most gorgeous script.

but when the time came,

 i ended up using my own imperfect handwriting,

which may not have been as beautiful--but was certainly 

more personal. (remember how they looked?) 

if only i had known about this fabulous calligraphy starter kit,

which offers just about everything one would need to try their

hand at calligraphic writing. maybe i could stash it away

for my little sister's future wedding? ;)
