Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Just mailing a letter may feel retro nowadays but take some advise from Betty and always send a thank you note to show your appreciation. These vintage looking cards are a great way to let someone know you are grateful for their gift or their hospitality. Keep your stationary and supplies organized with a mod letter or pencil holder. And, if you really want to be like Betty, write your letter on a classic typewriter and use old-fashioned stamps!
