The joy of writing with ink and pen!

Writing with a fountain pen is an experience you should enjoy at least once and then you will be "hooked".   Using different colored inks when writing a letter to someone special is a joy for the the person writing and a gift to the person receiving the letter.

Looking for fun notecards for a young person or actually I think I would like these fun little cards with sweet envelopes; great for "just a little note to say".   Four images - four of each; tiger and cute bird complete the four.

THIS IS JUST TO SAY

New book, This is Just to Say, is on it's way to the pickle and I think it will be another special book to add to our collection.  Illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski, the book is about children writing poems of apology and forgiveness and the response they get; sounds good does it not?
