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 want to touch things, hang onto memories, they long for a getting back to basics. They want to do things the old fashioned way....
