Outgoing: 19th Century Inspired Letters

November 02, 2016 by Tammy Wright in Letter Writing

This month my letters are greatly inspired by the television show, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. It's a beautifully filmed story about two men destined to bring magic back to 19th century England. The sets feature the most gorgeous libraries and book collections. And, most importantly, there is much letter writing.

Early in the show, letters meant for Jonathan Strange are stolen and read by Mr. Norrell. They are beautifully written, folded, and sealed with wax. I loved watching the opening of each letter and attempted to recreate them. I hope my pen pals enjoy the simple beauty.
