I had a post a while back featuring my office/craft room. See here. I recently changed what I have on the top of my roll top desk. Photo here:
So far, and it has been a few weeks, my cats have not knocked the items off. Yeah! The photo in the middle is original artwork by Bryana Joy. It is Gandalf and says “All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.” Learn more about the work of Bryana Joy HERE.
My husband, as a gift last year, subscribed me to Bryana’s unique postal letters each month for 6 months. Here is a description from her web site, and I so enjoyed these literary letters each month, mailed with vintage postage stamps.
“The Letters From the Sea Tower are handmade monthly subscription letters that celebrate art and literature and how it matters for the Great Battle of Our Time. My aim in creating each month’s letter is to produce a work of art that fills people with courage and creativity and to contribute to the revival of beautiful, meaningful, and unique hard-copy mail. The letters are handwritten and painted by me and then carefully scanned and reprinted in my own home on heavy, archival quality, 100% cotton paper. I personalize them by hand for each recipient and mail them out monthly in an epic old-fashioned envelope with ink stamps and unique postage stamps.”
Photos below. You will note some of the postage stamps are from England as she temporarily lived in England, so some of my letters were mailed in the U.S. and some from there. I enjoyed the varying stamps!
