Collect old love letters

My wonderful friend Kym sent me some nice old postcards. I need to buy some letters soon and I need to go through the one’s I already have.

I had forgotten about this! Can you believe it?! I know right where all the letters are that I purchased and I started reading some, one was from a little girl and boy to their uncle. I know that is not a ‘typical’ love letter, but it was very cute. The next group is from a man in the war to his girlfriend, When I go home tonight I am going to dig them out and look into them more… :) I wish the art of letter writing was as strong as it was back then. I would have love to receive a passionate love letter…very romantic! :)

I keep all love letters as a rule. They stay in a cardboard box in my closet.

I am marking this one off, I am sure I will keep collecting here and there, but for now I have a few and I feel this is complete (At least complete for me now). It will be ongoing!

Well I won my first ebay bid for an old letter so this one is starting….can I mark it off yet…Maybe I need a few more letters before I check this one off!

Love letters are just about the nicest thing that can be put down on paper. I like receiving my own and writing my own, but it’s also fun to find old ones. I buy some off Ebay. It’s a intersting window into history from a personal perspective.
