How many of you enjoy receiving a handwritten letter?

How much would you pay to have someone craft a letter for you?

I am thinking of this venture b/c many of my friends have told me over the years that they enjoy mine.

-All my designs are on high-end stationery

-I am a believer in brevity (stating something succinctly)

-My penmanship is calligraphic + printing is architectural

It is cathartic to write an encouragement to someone who has undergone loss or experienced tragedy. One has to be a wordsmith and have the ability to keep it (the message) real.

Below are images of two of my high-end greeting cards.

This first one has no sentiment, 3 watercolored vases w/flowers, a silk flower hanging from embroidery floss:


This second card reads: How beautiful the open door, the outstretched hand, the generous heart...thank you. (I've used this for hospitality thank yous). It's a colored-pencil nest w/3 eggs on a few branches. There are 2 guinea hen feathers suspended on wax string.


Here is the interior. I use coordinating stationery papers for the inside and envelope. There is a cut-out for your business or calling card.
