Dear Friends,
Here is the *new* 2nd half of the newsletter that comes
out mid-month. The next mid-month newsletter won't have a letter, or a
"top 10 list," just tips, websites, and one of my favorite quotes. (O.K.
so the quotes are an excuse to dig into my bulging files and also get
me to type up some of those gems from the little bits of paper scattered
throughout my office.)
As I mentioned in my last newsletter, I'm making an effort
to keep in touch with you more regularly. I didn't want to withhold my
tips for a whole month, then parse them out so you wouldn't get a tome
all at once.
To brevity!
Warmly,
Susan Harrow

My friend Gylian Creed and I were talking about how stationery
has made a comeback. Highly textured, hand made journals, paper, bags
have become popular in reaction against technology. Stationery takes a
stand against the immediacy and the ephemeral nature of email. People

to basics. They want to do things the old fashioned way....
