Stationery Saga

It turns out that the personalized Etsy stationery about which I was so excited is not an option because the seller cannot ship until March 13th.  By March 13th, I would have more than run out of the five-color cardstock I am currently using.

I think I'll end up getting the similarly priced stationery from Amazon.  It has a few distinct advantages, actually: it is purple, my favorite color; it comes with envelopes, for my most secret letters; and it is roughly the size (8-1/2" by 11") on which I am used to writing.  The personalizable Etsy stationery was very nice, but it was also 5" by 7", much smaller.  Additionally, I realize now, if I had paper printed with "Love from a Young Jewish Woman" I would feel confined to that side of the page; most of my letters these days bleed over at least a little bit onto the back of whatever I am writing on.

Purple flowers, purple envelopes...purple, purple, purple, here I come!

And introducing "BARRY" (my father's name!!!), aging out in DECEMBER, diagnosed with cerebral palsy,and yet again from my "Jacob's" country.  I had promised the world that I would post the next boy after "Patience," regardless of country, and he just so happens to be from "Jacob's" country anyway!
