(Speaking of vintage paper, my friend Ashlee Temple made me this lovely gift, an antique library card drawer filled with sheets from a vintage book. I've been tempted to pull out the sheets and try to read them, but they are much more lovely this way, don't you think?)
As communications become increasingly digitized, here's an option to keep in mind - Juliet's Quill can take any recipe and transform it into calligraphic cards, or even a decorative dish towel. As mothers and grandmothers around the world take up Facebook for posting their recipes, this handmade artistry's a lovely way to preserve the love behind the words.

I too frequently lament the death of the written word. These vintage pieces are quite stunning, thank you for posting.
beautifully written and photographed. that Braille letter is really special and adding tactility to words is poetic...
Jessica, I was thinking about how the Braille paper is like embroidery, and it reminded me of you! I plan to post on lovely item soon, I'm very excited about it.
