The Zhush: Snail Mail

7/6/11

Snail Mail

June was a whirlwind of activity here, but now that two of my children are safely off at camp for the next three weeks, things are significantly quieter. Which is not to say that I don't miss them... I do! In fact, every morning I write them each a letter, every day. One letter, times two for three weeks is a lot of letter writing! Exactly the excuse I needed to stockpile some of my favorite stationery. The top cards, from John Robshaw, are my newest addition and no doubt will be my daughters' favorites! I also can't get enough of the cards and paper from both Mr. Boddington and Kate Spade. As for my pens, I'm using the adorable ones from Jonathan Adler that we carry here at zhush.com. Each daughter got one tucked into her trunk as well...can't wait to get my first letter from the girls!
