A Love Letter to Love Letters

As a tribute to my new found love & inspiration of the written word, I wanted to share my "Love Letter to Love Letters" with you. Unfortunately, tech savviness (or lack thereof!) does not allow for my letter to be any larger than shown. So, unless you have extraordinary vision and are able to read this the tiny script, I have typed out my letter below for you to read...

“A Love Letter to Love Letters”

It seems that the ‘convenience’ of the world now exists in all things technological. Emails and quick text messages (something I haven’t quite gotten the hang of!) have become the mainstream of communication and sometimes I wonder if there isn’t something missing in our day-to-day exchanges.

Recently, I found myself becoming drawn to the integrity of the written word. Purely unintentional, this new fascination is quite apparent in what I have selected for LIBERTY 123. As I look around my store, I am surrounded with script & written wisdom. Lamp shades, floor mats, wall art, pillows and frames ‘speak’ a soulful elegance - and I have to admit, I’m loving every word!

Of course, this time of year love letters come to mind, as Valentine’s Day is just a month away! I fondly remember a few boyfriends that used the pen to express their adoration for me (that’s right I said adoration!) At the time I received these love letters, I don’t think I truly appreciated what a gift they were. Admittedly, there may have been a few moments I was simply amused by their juvenile quality. Now, I look back with a greater sense of appreciation for their efforts… this may be because no one is ‘adoring’ me at the moment. In all actuality, I think the real reason that I look back on these letters fondly is that they were such a simple, thoughtful, and (hopefully!) genuine expression of affection.

While there is no romantic love in my life to celebrate this Valentine’s Day with, I am fortunate to have many people in my life that I feel affection for. So this Valentine’s Day, my beloveds will receive a handwritten Valentine from me in their mailbox. I encourage you to do the same!

The written word…so retro!

Yours fondly,

Liberty
