Remember those things...um..letters?

How annoying is bulk emails, Facebook messages and reading about momentous moments in the lives of my family and friends on Twitter. Whatever happened to the humble hand-written letter? It seems as though fountain pens these days are purchased solely for signing ones name.

In fact, one of the things I miss most about my childhood, is old-fashioned mail. I miss the anticipation of opening the mail every day, the surprise of finding a letter (that’s not a bill) and appreciating the effort someone put into hand-writing a note just for me.





Letterheady, is a new online archive of the letterheads of legendary artists, politicians, collectives, programmes. Browsing through might just inspire you to design one of your own and pen a note that will make someone’s day. There is nothing more thoughtful than a handwritten letter.
