Bread and Butter Letters

Bread and Butter Letters

So many this time of year

for so much hospitality is given

And needs to be properly thanked.

I've had a time with notecards.

I think they are ridiculously expensive.

$1.00 or more per card

And they usually come in measly packs of six!

You can find cheaper ones at places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Tuesday Morning or Home Goods

but sometimes the ones they have don't really fit your personality!

I have, therefore, taken matters into my own hands!

And make my own cards!

Photographs that cost a mere 20 cents to be developed, card stock (a ream for less than six thank you notes would cost), and the proper size envelopes and a bit of glue!

This season, my cards feature Linderhof in the snow.

Come January, it will be pictures of hyacinths or forsythia or paperwhites!

There are lots of bread and butters to be written . . . 

The best place is the desk in the living room.

A stash of note cards are in one of the cubbies, ready for more

bread and butters!

I love the desk here --

I can look out to both the front and to the side garden

And if it's sunny, I love the sunlight coming in the window!
