    Default Letter from the Czech Repeblic - Help please

    Letters are still coming in and going out daily, loving it... One letter today has got me stumped, it's from Marie in Opava in the Czech Republic, but unfortunately Marie has not put her address on it, it's a wonderful letter, complete with a bookmark, tissue paper, seal and a postcard, superbly written with a flex pen, it'll make her wince to see my lefty scrawl in reply, as long as somebody PM's me her address! Can anyone help please?

    Good luck! She does some of that artwork with a dip pen. Here is another example of her talent.

    So, anyone care to pm me with the address of this master correspondent? There is clearly much to learn in the art of presentation!

    Mine looks like this.


    Wrapped in that butter colored fiberous paper and tied with a matching ribbon. I was not worthy to open such a gift, but I did.

    Pretty top tier stuff, this. Looks like the perfect occasion to break out the creme brulee torch and the Abraxas Amber wax...

    Um ditto! I received one of Marie's beautiful missives just yesterday. So amazing. I feel talentless in response to her incredible art. I will have to do some serious thinking as to what I could send that would be worthy... Thank you Marie!

    Procedural note: Having set the table top on fire trying to wax over a ribbon, i may have to resort to a glue gun wax to recreate the ribbon-in-wax effect...
