blast from the past

[flea]

I was looking in my stationery drawer yesterday and came across a pad of paper, with matching envelopes - very nice air mail paper, by Crane's. It seems so quaint now, but I remember well the days when international phone calls were incredibly expensive and we didn't have the internet, and those air mail letters were a very important part of my travels abroad.

(Also, I have a stash of approximately 100 postcards, on a vast array of topics and themes. I should start a send-a-postcard-a-week project. Anybody want mail?)

(Do I have any thank-you cards? I do not. Must procure. I do have a stash of rather dour Winslow Homer cards, mostly featuring fish.)
