Letters and Books

June is moving through days lightning fast, on Monday I did spent the morning hours sitting at the courthouse for Jury selection, I was not chosen this time around which is fine with me and I did get in several hours of reading while I waited which is always a pleasure.

Yesterday among the bills, sales ads and letters was the newest hand stamped stationery set I purchased from this Etsy shop:https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheSmilingMonkeyShop

I live in a city well known for its horse farms as soon as I saw this set I knew I had to buy it, a very fitting set to reflect that aspect of the city.  Again the paper quality is excellent, a good weight and quite smooth, I used a fountain pen with no ink bleed through.  Photos of the envelopes and the two designs included in the set.

Also this week I managed to squeeze in the time to buy my copy of the Amanda Cooper book Tempest in a Teapot

I do like a good mystery and anything with a teapot or tea cup involved just peaks my interest even more.  Who knows this book may be a good choice to include in a future tea party gift bag.

My son lent me his copy of this interesting book, as a child if you ever sent away for anything advertised in the back of magazines or comic books you may find this a fun read.

Well I am off to the pool for an aquacise class and then some swimming and relaxing around the pool with a good book and some letters to write, its going to be another hot day here in central Florida.
