While we were camping this summer, DD met a young girl from Oregon. Her mother and I exchanged addresses so the girls could be pen pals. Also, one of DD's good friends moved to Wisconsin, so she will start writing to him too. Since then, I have been looking for a stationery set. I remember when I was a kid, there were so many great stationery sets. My cousin and I used to send stickers back and forth...often we would send the same stickers back and forth to see how long they would last. They lasted a long time! Also, a very good friend of mine spent the summer with his grandmother in Puerto Rico, and we wrote the whole summer. I had writing paper with pictures of ice cream cones, and it smelled like ice cream. So, I was really excited to go see what was out there now....DD and I went from store to store looking, and there was absolutely nothing. There were notepads and decorated paper for printers, but no writing paper with envelopes. Then I started looking on the computer, and it took me awhile, but I finally found something wonderful. It's from an Etsy store, and I can't wait for it to come. I told the pen pals' parents about these wonderful sets too. They're a little pricey, but they seem to be good quality and there wasn't much to choose from. Even if there were, I have a feeling we would wind up getting this one anyway because it's so cute. The name of the store is Sea Urchin Studio. She has another wildlife one with hedgehogs on the paper, one with unicorns, one with mermaids, one with dinosaurs, and one with monsters. They're all really cute. Again, this is just stuff we like. So I hope my daughter comes to appreciate the fun of having a letter in the mail from a friend and how much fun it is to write a letter over more than just a minute or two like an email or post.
Here is the link in case you're interested.
