This morning I woke and it was such a beautiful day! The first thought I had was “today I am going to recieve a nice surprise!” I had to work, but it was quiet and I spent a lot of time wondering what my nice surprise would be. I was a little dissapointed when it was time to go hope and nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Then when I checked the mail on the way to my door I found this delightful letter from my friend Imuin!

It smells like flowers and the stationary is so cute and handmade! I especially like the lace on the envelope. I so love recieving letters, these days communication is so fast and digital, I really miss the charm and intimacy of the handwritten letter. Perhaps I shall get a post office box so I can write more letters, I would love to hear from some of the readers of the Princess Portal!

My Crysanthemums still look beautiful and fresh! I’m amazed at how well they are lasting.
